I'm not into discords and what not, how do you all see who won? I saw a post above that said "I see familiar names won"...

There is a EQL server that has a section dedicated to announcing winners of various EQL launches. If you link your Discord name to your EQL account and you win, you'll be notified on the Discord before any other method.

I ended up winning 5 boxes. Got an L on the case. I do think its rigged but I enter for a lot of things so I was due I guess. Glad it was WWE since I passed on that Travis Scott.

FYI: No blasters on this one since hobby box logo says hobby-only.

Fun fact - no cases for the public either.

Thanks!

I saw Roxanne signing these as Punk trolled her she was up to late. Card looked good pre sure it was “Masterpieces” auto

[WWEToppsChrome]

I'm not very optimistic about the release of this on the 26th not using EQL. Its just going to sell out in 2 minutes again. I'm not feeling very confident about the ability to buy these at retail price.

Saw rumors on Twitter that Fanatics pulled Logan Paul's rookie card from the final release even though they used it on the sell sheet. Sounds about right.

Saw an ebay listing of a Jazmyn Nyx auto from Germany, overseas already got product??

[DrZman]

No Stephanie or Giulia either yikes.

[CardCollector19]

Product is brutal auto wise

[hammerva]

I can almost get why they don't have Logan Paul in the set. I am sure it is a headache dealing with whether they can use him or not. but why in the hell do you not have Vacquer and Giulia when they have been in the WWE so long that their rookie cards are Panini. Which feels like ages ago even though it was only a year and half ago. Is this some kind of AEW situation where the product is created a long time ago and it takes forever to release it that it is horribly out of date or just incompetence

[Joshi City]

If these sell out in two minutes, people aren't paying attention. This is definitely a lower release based on the autograph/rookie list which isn't the end of the world, not every set can be an elite high-end release. But the price is a little high for a non-premium release, I'd be interested in a box or two but probably need to be closer to the $175 to $200 range. Will be curious if these fall in price a bit in a few weeks like Sapphire did. Also I wonder how many Hogan stickers they have lying around or if they will make a big deal out of his "final" card releases.

That being said I fully expect it to sell out fast as that's what usually happens.

You wanted Rock autos, prepare for every product to be expensive or impossible to get. Logan Paul, Giulia or Steph are NOT needlemovers for these products even if you think the checklists are weak without them. Sapphire didn’t have Rock. I’m surprised it’s been like three releases when he didn’t have autos officially for like a decade and it’s already like a second thought to some as if it isn’t still a massive deal. While I think popularity would be similar even before his passing, Hogan autos just add to the hype. Carrier Fisher I believe became a guessing game what Star Wars set would have her final autos, it’ll be the same here is this the last set with Hogan autos live? May not drive prices but will drive interest and regardless of how many autos he has it will be a big deal if a set is announced to have the last live autos and will likely be held and rise in value over time

I think the price will drop without a real hook. Two of the three retail topps releases have dropped in value from their initial price from Topps (the last had Rock autos also) after a month or so. Based on what her break prices were, Stephanie was definitely a needle mover and Logan Paul's fanbase is massive, so I wouldn't say having them not in it won't impact long term interest. This set will sell fine, it has all the regular big hitters, it just doesn't have anything special to make it a Hold product or that big chase which is usually what drives scarcity and thus prices.

I think right now Rock autos are still a big deal but with Panini we saw with wrestlers like Taker and Stone Cold, as the market flooded their values kept going down. The Rock is still a year or two away from that but his auto prices aren't going to hold the more they are out there. I'm surprised they aren't just putting him in premium releases to milk it longer. Hogan just signed SO MUCH like a crazy amount the last ten years between Leaf, Panini, and Topps, I don't think long term its going to matter which sets he was in.

I know we will never see the $!50 per box that Chrome initially was, so comparing this to CJ and sapphire, its the second best release. The auto list is condensed and not a whole lot of empty filler there (depending on pull rate).

Have to see how the boxes stack up when the breaking happens, but the set initially is kind of cool. I almost feel like this was supposed to be released before CJ which accounts for the lack of the Steph/Saints/Grace autos, but it seems like Topps is just gonna save those autos for the Royalty release and 2026 Chrome (which we might only be three months away from).

What i do find disappointing is the lack of retail. Nothing since Chrome and, looking at was initially announced, there might not be any retail wwe until 2026 Chrome. Failed opportunity here.

Finest is a low end release in the other Topps sports. I know there is some lineage in WWE and wrestling operates mostly in it's own world. If people are coming from other sports I don't think Finest is going to be what they target and if they are just getting into cards I can't see that either. If Chrome singles can't withstand in the secondary not sure how Finest is supposed to.

[kakarot12]

Release on Friday has been changed to EQL. Also I completely disagree that Vaquer is NOT a needlemover. She is the hottest superstar currently and just won the title. Her not being included is a big mistake.

[Kingofkings1281]

They just dropped Finest on their app. You can enter yourself for up to 4 boxes at $269.99 a box.

Logan Paul too. People may not like him but he has a big fanbase and I think this was set to be his rookie card. For over $100 more than Chrome, I’m out.

Considering everyone scoffed at Cactus Jack due to price when her AND Giulia had autos in it, I’d argue even this board doesn’t think she’s much of a needle mover lol never said she wasn’t hot but so were/are Iyo and Asuka I never considered them needlemovers for card sets. Also didn’t say it wasn’t a mistake just that this is gonna do great and it’s only boards like this or Reddit acting like the product is dead without Steph or Logan. Honestly feels people find something to dislike about any product they can’t attain or are priced out of.

We’ll see how it goes in a few days when people on here end up posting about achieving or trying for boxes lol

[LaloSalamanca]

Fanatics app has the "product drop" open and the description still advertises Logan rookie cards so that's awkward!

[yoyosh]

Opened a box. Kinda boring. Autos were both on card

Atleast you got a Breaker auto. That's decent, right?

[TimmyWeiss]

That Sid is sweet. Not gonna lie, the base cards look pretty neet.

Also, the Finest Moments don't actually say what the finest moments are? That sucks, whats the point of making them Finest Moments if you don't address it.
