That’s a great plan. Until you get a visit from Rebecca DeMornay.

A little fun with math. In Fanatics Blasters the largest odds spread is 1:450756. Divide by 9, you have about 50K total Blasters made. The Topps Foil Parallel will be 1 per pack. 450756 packs 1 Foil Parallel per. 350 card set. 450756/350 is roughly 1288 Topps Foils per player.

Not bad seeing these are more rare than /2025 Golds but we know Golds are more desirable.

Let's get a head start on 2026 Topps Series 1. I'm going to go ahead and break the news that those blasters will suck too.
Blasters werent this pathetic in past years. They claimed to have offset the massive increase with new parallels. I hope hobby/jumbo aren’t this boring. I’m still going to believe jumbos will be the best option since these are the only boxes breakers open. Fanatics knows their new core customers.

With Fanatics Blasters actually having 1 Topps Foil Parallel in every pack, debunks the odds listed. Odds say 1:2. The actual Blasters will have 1 in every pack. That's way off in my opinion. That's why I think many are giving too much credit to the odds Topps has listed. They are pure estimates. We've seen Fat Packs and Value Blasters opened. They are crap as the odds say. But until we see the other formats opened, I'm "cup half full" with Series 1.

Agree to disagree. But maybe our definitions of pathetic are different. I personally see little to no difference in getting 2 numbered parallel's in 5 total blasters vs 4 numbered parallel's. They still suck, and other than 1 or 2 (if they show themselves before release) I don't buy them. I know they suck, they always do. As I mentioned before, people whine and complain when nothing is in blasters, and people whine and complain when the big pulls are in blasters. I can not imagine the outcry if blasters had the same hit rate as hobby and jumbo boxes.

At the end of the day people will find something to moan and groan about. Blasters suck, pretty much always have. Painting it as anything new just isn't accurate. Don't buy them. Pretty simple. That's how I approach things that suck.

Agree with you. I just look at the Fanatics Blasters differently. Similar in ways but offer much better odds (estimated) getting autos, relics, parallels, etc... Plus the memorabilia redemptions and you get the Topps Foil Parallels in all 9 packs.

did getting the aqua parallels at one per pack really help that much in fanatics blasters? doubtful
just another non numbered parallel that no one cares(cared) about.

getting 50-100% more numbered parallels in previous years blasters is a big deal.
not sure why everyone is down playing this, especially when it was so much easier pulling /25 /50 or even lower before.
I've opened multiple blaster cases from 2018-2024 any they will blow the 2025 blasters away and it it not even close.

And blaster case did not always suck.

this year, no chance on either.

I’m not disagreeing that VALUE blasters suck.We have evidence of it and the odds backed that up. I disagree with that the sentiment that ALL blasters for 2025 Series 1 suck. Getting 9 packs instead of 7, getting an exclusive parallel per pack, chance (slim) at an autographed sports memorabilia redemption and the odds of many other parallels being better than value boxes, I’d say these are much better. Not saying Fanatics Blasters are the best format, but I’ll definitely take these over Value Boxes, Fat Packs, Super Boxes, Display Boxes, Tins or Megas.

My thoughts exactly, there are a few cards I like but most would be stuff you just fill a box with.

I would start checking retail for Hangers if anyone is going that route. I've heard several people say they think retail could start showing up as early as today. Or go the smart route and just order them online from the site we aren't supposed to mention. lol

Topps announced they'll have Larry David autos. I'd love to get one of if the prices are reasonable.

Topps: 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊: The all-new Player Number Variations are limited to each player’s jersey number.

So the Skenes is limited to 30, while Gunnar has just 2 copies in existence!

Who’s chasing all 25 cards in this set?

Odds for that card? 1 in 1.6B?

Nope, you are 100% correct. Horrible looking.
