First Buzz: 2024 Topps Cosmic Chrome baseball cards

[atomic619jd]

For those that have opened by the case, how many base of the bigger rookies do you get? Elly, Skenes, etc.

Nope I didn't see another break. Must have missed it lol

If anyone gets any numbered Alek Thomas please let me know if you are selling.

I am sure it's just me.

I even bought into a few breaks this week.

But these are just Stupid and Ugly.

At least logofractor looks nice.

Seriously? I think cosmic looks stellar. My first time opening this year and its probably my new favorite chrome. I like Logofractor too, but can't get behind two packs for $120

I feel the opposite. I think Cosmic is spectacular and unique. Ever since they introduced it a couple years back, Topps has managed to make something that doesn't rely on autographs or nostalgia. Stunning visuals with a neat theme is what drives this one (and, as with any product, rarity for some of the "hits" and chases).

Is ebay delaying listings? On day 1, I tried to post a case for sale and it never went live so I took it down. Now same thing is happening on my base variant pick listing. Anyone else seeing this? No issues on singles

I like it too, I just wish I would have been picked to buy a box. Now I'm just picking up singles I want on eBay. I like all the inserts. Reminds me of the 90's.

I had problems with a few of mine (most were listed within 10 minutes). I called ebay the next morning to see what the problem was for the few that didn't list. I was told that the process can take up to 24 hours to get the lsiting live. I was told this was nothing new and this happens frequently. Well, for me, this is new and I always had them live within a few minutes. WTGEbay!

Same. There are 35 different inserts I want for the players I PC. I love this release.

[BoSoxFan1999]

Not ripping any of this year's release, but it definitely looks better than last year's design.

I opened more than half a case, not quite a full case...lol Here's my breakdown:
Base
Elly: 3 (and a Nucleus Ref.)
Skenes: 5
Holliday: 3
J Dom: 1
Merrill: 3
Yamamoto: 3
Imanaga: 3 (and a Nucleus)
Chourio: 5 (and a Ref)

Most other RCs were like 1-3, with the exception of Lawlar who I got 7 of (and a Nucleus) because Topps included two separate base of his...smh.

Got lots of RC inserts too, so that's fun as well.

Anyone needing to trade to complete a set….hit me up. Trade thread in BST

[atomic619jd]

Got my FedEx shipping notification from Topps today, shipping out of TX. Quicker than usual but we will see how long it sits in "Label Created" status before it actually moves.

I’ve been buying breaks for the Dodgers. I’ve basically bought in with about 80% of a case cost. I opted for that approach because I prefer not to pay the admission cost for rookies like Elly, etc. I’d rather chase the stars. I’m done now as that was my max. I don’t know if I’ve been just really lucky but I’ve hit some really nice cards and am definitely going to be in the black when it’s all said and done (technically…as the nice low #d Ohtanis I’m keeping). I’ve hit a Black Ohtani /10, Red Ohtani /5, 5x Sun Ohtanis, 2x Mercury Ohtanis, Orange Yamamoto /25, Green Ohtani /75, Supernova Yamamoto, 4x other #d ohtanis, 4x #d Yamamotos, and a handful Nucleus/Refrwctor Yamamoto and Ohtanis. I seem to hit nice Ohtanis at a very high rate. Again, maybe I’m just lucky and have beat the odds. What’s also nice is that I should be able to expedite all the base to COMC and get a couple hundred back.

Edit - bought into my final break I was going to buy and hit a Launched Into Orbit Ohtani Auto redemption.

In looking through some things, I have QTY 1's for a LOT of cards in this set after ripping a case. I'm still sorting but not even 100% sure I got a set from a case. FWIW, I actually prefer this type of collation to the "break a case, get 3 sets" collation and I only really wanted the one set to tuck away.

That's a nice present to break from a long ass flight!

Welcome home, Daveyou!

[atomic619jd]

What's peoples thoughts on how the base Skenes Cosmic RC will hold up against the TC Update RC value wise once pricing settles for both?

[atomic619jd]

For the EQL winners, has anyone got their boxes/cases today from Topps?

[RoyalsCollector]

Anyone got a sense of what autos are falling? The odds say 1:250ish packs for a the base autos, but it seems like maybe every other box ends up with an auto when you combine the odds of all the insert autos.
