My package didnt leave the Buffalo distribution center until this morning, so it looks like tomorrow for me.

My buddy who runs a card shop here had a contact that he was able ot go up to the shipping center and pick up packages if they didnt make it on the truck. I was able to do that yearrrrrsssssss ago when he gave me that contact, but gonna reach out to see if he is still there now and maybe I stil have a chance to get it today lol

So who, besides Underwood, is a 1st that’s noteworthy?

Okay, so Mascot autos are neat, but assuming they count against the total autos in the box, I'm gonna be pissed if I pull a dang Albert the Gator instead of a prospect in the last pack of my last box in a case lol

I understand that thought and would probably agree but you have an easy trade partner here if you do pull Albert.

Yeah, mascot autos are SUPER limited and will be easy flips for $$$$$.

Not following this at all.

Mascot autos are very rare - so you are only talking about 1 in a case if at all. So it would only be replacing 1 prospect auto. These will likely sell extremely well - while the average non mascot auto may be $30-40? (taking into account all players and parallels you may pull)

Yeah, give me the mascot auto EVERY time.

My two jumbo and one hobby order from Topps just arrived (shipped from and delivered to Texas). Only ripped four packs from jumbo, but QC is so far looking good.

No dimples, print lines, etc. and centering in the very small sample size is great.

Yellow refractor and Blue mini-diamond both really pop.

Gotta wait for the kids to get home as they love ripping these with me.

Looks so much better than last year’s atrocious design. My jumbo won’t get here till Saturday

Slette · 10-30-2025, 01:27 PM

These look very nice!

Did you wind up with any of the 1955 All American throwbacks? I really want to see how those turned out.

I wish, but no. Here are the autos and numbered cards from a single jumbo box (plus the expected shimmer, two x-fractors and four refractors not shown). I'm in for BUC every year and these are really nice. Looking forward to the other jumbo and hobby when my kids get home.

auctionjmm · 10-30-2025, 04:12 PM

My order is still processing, which is very rare for my supplier. I almost always receive my cases the day before release and as of 5:12pm, I'm not sure they'll even get out today. I'm off work next week so I have plenty of time but would have still liked to be opening this on release date.

willagaroon · 10-30-2025, 06:16 PM

The lack of print lines and dimples unfortunately didn't last beyond the first jumbo box.

Out of two jumbos and one hobby I didn't get a single Underwood base, but did get a base auto out of one of the last packs. Some low numbered cards, /10, multiple /50's just missing better names.

Still a bunch of fun, kids had fun, the jumbo packs were exciting for them as pretty much every pack had either a numbered or auto.

If you got any low-numbered Mizzou, I'm a buyer

willagaroon · 10-30-2025, 06:38 PM

Gotta watch out for the new "White Refractor" /15, it looks just like the unnumbered Shimmer, except the shimmer effect doesn't go on the entire card. I missed this one when opening but caught it when sorting. Hard to notice without shinning a light on it light in this photo.

I'd do it, but not a single numbered or auto!

Thanks for the heads up. I actually prefer the regular shimmer look

Fenway55 · 10-30-2025, 07:38 PM

Curse you! Curse you all!!

Rob355 · 10-30-2025, 08:08 PM

I opened (2) Hobby Jumbos.

I'm loving the set! High quality and like all the inserts, numbered, and autos compared to bases.

I didn't have any huge hits, but some neat cards...

Marcel Reed (Texas A&M QB) auto /299
Kevin Jennings (SMU QB) auto
Sam Leavitt (Arizona State QB) /25

Mr. Big Spender went big on BUC! Is this a Topps preorder or from a retailer?
My Topps items are supposed to appear tomorrow - nothing yet from an (ahem) prominent retailer about my order from them.

2 hobby cases from topps. And I can happily say I received shipment info from topps this evening and it is expected tomorrow. I live about a half hour from the distribution center so it’s easy to have next day delivery.
