Before online breaking was big, I would get big hits regularly, now almost never. My story is not unique, 100's of people have the same story.

I got a same feeling..

Rejected again. I've never been selected l.

Appears that this is the way they're releasing the products they deem popular moving forward. Sad times.

If it’s msrp It’s not bad would you rather they be botted and no one have a chance?

[wilsonsingles]

no one realistically had a chance or will have a chance on future 23/24 Topps products through Topps website. Maybe 1 out of 1000 people.

It seems EQL and Topps are not really integrated much so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a delay for the successful orders.

Anyone ever win on Topps UK as a reference?

Yeah I won an EQL last year (USA), Topps Chrome UEFA Champions league (corrected) Sapphire. Waste of a win, the re-sale on cards I didn't want was terrible.

I've strike out on all Score, Prizm, Topps Chrome, Bowman, Contenders, National Treasures, Donruss, Optic, everyone else in the past 4-5 years.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars and my best hit was maybe a 2k card.

Totally feel this!
Product looks horrible I’m not sure if there even will be a market for all those cards not named Wemby or LeBron or some Supers.
Will get 2 Boxes tomorrow for 360 each just to give it a try, but my luck has ended too as mentioned above.

Do you remember how quickly they confirmed your “win”?

[Brobocop]

Still no word from Fanatics on the product drop but I'm guessing the email just got lost in the wind.

[crdbored]

Anyone else see how terrible retail is?

From the odds sheet, there are NO numbered cards available (except for supers). It's all non-numbered green, pink, and orange basketball.

Knew they they would water retail but did not expect them to go full 22-23 Panini and get rid of everything.
Thought they would go more the baseball route with crazy high parallels.

About as quickly as they confirmed my 'not a winner' on this product. Around an hour.

Who would want those for $60-70?

And they changed the checklist for retail and took out the lebron autos and most of the wemby autos.

Just to weigh in on the Steph "Golden State" vs "Golden State Warriors", his cards in this say "San Francisco". I think that is another level of bad, but to each their own.

I agree, that is even worse

[Rooftop]

One of the worst value product ever produced

This product is as bad as an unlicensed panini baseball product in that respect.

[Brobocop]

Seems like nobody got picked from what I can tell between here and Twitter. Not shocked.

[netmasters]

The 1st base Wemby auto auction ends today and people are bidding like it's licensed and they arent coming out all over the place.

CB Hobby (admins of a big FB group) had listed a gold /50 auto on eBay (might've been pulled down or sold outside of eBay since).

Don't know how many boxes they ripped but definitely concerning if the big influencers keep pulling numbered (and on-card) Wemby boxes out of their personal boxes.

Saw someone mention that they got picked via FB.

But yeah, hard to hit with EQL.

Calling it now, Wemby’s chrome RC becomes iconic. Mantle Topps, Griffey UD, Jordan Fleer, Wemby Chrome. Topps gets full licensing next year, chrome will be all that matters moving forward. Besides, licensed or not, it’s a better photo than Prizm. If he becomes the generational player he’s tracking to be, this will be the RC to have.
