I can't wait till Topps flagship, Finest and Chrome come out. Though I want 1998 prices not today's prices lol

That goes without saying.

It'll be the fool proof Fanatics release recipe:

1) Price it at 6x what it's worth
2) No cases available to the buying public
3) Every case available to breakers
4) EQL the good SKU's
5) Topps website the sh1tty SKU's
6) Month and half free loan to Fanatics before the "real" release

Can't wait!

This isn't very Bob Ross-like... unless you're the owners of his estate. Then carry on.

Panini has 25-26 rookie cards. Now what?

Yes. With autos.

But they have cards in Haunted Hoops, too.

Do we get a rush Prizm product with Cooper?

Weird haunted hoops are not rookie cards they call them extended prospects. Have no logo or team. No Flagg, Bailey, on eBay yet

They weren’t on the checklist.

What a mess this has turned into.

They’re not in the set. 25 cards, Edgecombe, Yang, Tre Johnson, etc. I’ve got 21/25 so far. No parallels of these, either.

Today every possible widget, physical or digital is being monetized to it's fullest. This was not the case 2 decades ago.

I am a strong advocate of returning to a multilicense system (not my call, or anyone's call other than league PAs). The current system is complete a$$ cheeks

Gotta love capitalism.

I have the admit dont know if today is the last instant nba drop from panini. I was able to grab 2 edgeclmbe /25 autos and tre Johnson /25 auto for 99.99. Which seems like a good deal if /99 go for 300-400. These 2 are supposedly panini exclusive we will see when the Topps releases the auto checklist.

Panini is releasing Prizm Black, Immaculate, and Eminence within 2 hours of each other tomorrow, and nothing else coming beyond these 3 final products. Topps/Fanatics has said nothing official about any upcoming basketball sets, despite their license reportedly starting on October 1st. I think I saw a photo that one of the rookies (can’t remember who) leaked on his social media, and it was an on-card Topps Chrome RC auto. Do we think we’re getting any official news on Wednesday?

I think Topps can’t really say much about NBA products until Oct. 1, which is why flagship is coming out the third week of the month to give them time to market it.

I noticed Panini no longer says NBA on their website - only Basketball

[premium1981]

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I am pumped for tomorrow hoping to get some images and more info. I'm a huge UNC fan, and when Tyler Hansbrough was drafted I opened 6 jumbo cases searching for him. Yes, that would be 2009-10 Topps. Ripping it all open, stacking my Hansbrough cards. And tossing another rookie into a common pile because he was from Davidson and not worth anything. So many chromes and parallel's. I probably should have saved those and not Physco T.

Going to be interesting seeing what happens the next couple of days.

I assume Panini will pull all in stock NBA products instead of having a blowout sale. I would guess they already have deals in place with BO, DA, breakers, etc to backdoor all remaining product directly.

I'm not so sure. Prices have been going down across the board and even the Black FOTL release ended up lower than expected. I don't think it's going to get better with Flagg/Topps coming out next month and Black Friday around the corner (not to mention the ROY and top signer of that class being injured).

Why would any of the Big 3 cut a deal to potentially sell at a lower price in a few months?

If you collect baseball cards, you know that Topps/Fanatics doesn't say anything about any product until a couple of hours before it drops.

With breakers buying everything in sight, they've decided that actually marketing their products to collectors by publishing images/checklists/release dates, etc. is not necessary.

I’m pretty sure Panini can sell what’s “already on the shelf”. I don’t think they need to pull stock back in

I'm assuming the WNBA contract is different than the NBA one, right?
