Got excited with the Edberg thinking it was a padparascha, but just a pink or fuschia.

Emma auto is probably the best card in the set. Hate to say it but the best time to sell that one might be now. Really hope she makes it back though.

Oh it's listed already. Hope for whoever buys it that she comes back healthy and successful, that's just not a bet I want to make.

I don't think so... Emma is listed as one of the 5 on the autograph checklist

Jagsfansunshine · 06-28-2023, 07:26 AM

A bit confused ab the extended base too. Are we talking one extra variation card like the Emma auto or are we talking one parallel for each player + an additional unknown player?

We don't have a checklist, we just have the marketing materials Topps has released. Could be only the 5 names released have autos, but we don't really know yet. The Emma autos are labelled #101 though. See there is now also a non-auto Emma #101 listed.

It sounds like that Emma parallel is what accounts for the extended checklist. Figures - Another bummer.

The hits from my 2 boxes:

I had a thing for Hingis back in my teen days lol

Getting suspicious that Emma is the only auto. Thought they advertised at least 5 players somewhere

Seems like they built the whole checklist around her.

That was a good idea when they started this product a year and a half ago.

Is the Emma Raducanu extended base a SP? I only ask because I pulled one and there seems to be more autos of her listed.

Everyone gets an Emma auto

I got only one parallel in my box, no autograph. Is a base Aces card supposed to take the place of a parallel? My one parallel was also an Aces insert card.

based on this site it looks like she is and it looks like she is the sole autograph to be had.

These are my "hits". Big Foe is not a bad one.

Quality of the cards is very high. Shame about the selected players!

marlinsfan9108 · 06-29-2023, 02:09 PM

For as terrible as this checklist is, it's almost criminal that there is only 2 color per box. There should be 5-6 color per box to justify purchasing it. Opened the 2 I purchased and am done.

tomahawk · 06-29-2023, 08:21 PM

Hits from my two boxes. The Chris Evert Aces is numbered out of /25 and is pretty decent I suppose. Beautiful cards, will cross my fingers for a stronger checklist and auto checklist next time around!

Bummer, I think you got shorted. Having watched A LOT of Sapphire breaks in other sports, this definitely happens occasionally, with some boxes only getting 1 and others getting 3+.

If you still have the shrink wrap and opened packs, you can try to contact Topps and see if they will send you something.

gunnerpei · 06-29-2023, 10:48 PM

Coco Gauff Green /75, Navratilova White /99 and Emma Base SP were my notable hits from four boxes. Underwhelming checklist but still enjoyed opening packs, especially sapphire at $60 each. Been a while since I ripped anything sapphire.

Shame that I really liked the card design but they couldn’t produce a decent checklist.

Also Topps advertising 5 auto subjects when the product only has 1 and extended base set card”s” when there is only Emma is the most Topps thing ever.

I guess the aftermarket price of the 2019 Tennis Hall of Fame Set made Topps think that we are interested in non-active tennis players.

n of 1 here, but there are a hundred retired players I'd rather have cards of than any active player outside Novak, Nadal (kind of active), Alcaraz, Venus, and Swiatek. Problem is they didn't choose a good selection from either.

Cardborder · 06-30-2023, 11:54 PM

@LittleJimmies I guess you are right.
