Nice jumbo; also featured a golden mirror, James Wood debut gold /2025, and a 1990 Kim RC Gold Foil /50.

This is /5.

Nice boxes, but does Kurtz have False RC parallels, too?

Honestly, no idea.

I believe he means not a debut rookie.

Opened my jumbo case… autos were pretty brutal. 8 base autos plus the Lee silver pack auto. 2 x Golden mirror, including judge, and a really awesome sketch card helped it from being a complete disaster. I never keep or care about sketch cards in general, but I really like this one. May PC it.

Perhaps you have a suggestion for a European who isn't so well-off financially? Unfortunately, Topps' preorder emails only arrive when jumbo bags are no longer in stock, not to mention cases!

You can’t wait on their emails. You have to be on the site and ready to order before those go out.

SleepyWill · 11-18-2025, 06:57 AM

Has anyone actually seen the Judge golden mirror auto yet?

Ah, okay! Thanks!

I ordered 2 hobby boxes and I'm happy with the results:

Nothing earth shattering, but a good parallel from the chrome packs (Hyeseong Kim /150), a golden mirror (that I already sold for $80, I didn't think anyone was gonna hit the BIN on that), decent relics, and an extra auto. Plus a fair amount of Braves PC cards and James Wood inserts.

Only complaint as usual this year was poor collation and a bunch of damaged base cards. Gonna take a lot of trades to finish off the base set.

I was very pleased with my hobby box direct from Topps. Nothing earth-shattering but good mix of hits. Kind of a Cam Smith hot box-

I had some ok luck with pre-release day hobby boxes: a Griffey heavy lumber, a Cam Smith HFA, and 3 autos (not great, but at least autos). With the boxes I bought off Topps on release day, I thought I did pretty crappy. Best card was a pink Paul Skenes mystical. Then, I opened my last box, and pulled my first ever own-the-name card of Realmuto. Definitely something cool to add to collection.

My 2 Hobby boxes were delivered yesterday by UPS. Picture shows at a door, but not my door. Filed a complaint with UPS who emailed me at 10:22 and then denied my claim at 10:37 because they hadn't gotten a response. Reopened the claim and reached out to Topps. Paypal next.

Ehawk89 · 11-22-2025, 04:12 PM

Anyone got an idea what the best retail format to jump into this year? Still hangers are bangers?

I'm crossing my fingers Costco has Update super boxes before Christmas.

They just got series 2 last week - huge delay. I hope that update is not as delayed, but I’m thinking Xmas won’t happen.

jdandns · 11-25-2025, 03:38 PM

Pre-ordered 2 hobby boxes from Topps on September 30th.
Received tracking pre-shipment info on Nov. 10th.
Let Topps know today UPS shows there has been no movement on the package, understandable since Topps never actually give it to them.
Topps' reply: Let's see, yup, no movement, and we're out of those boxes, sorry, here's your refund.

Although now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure the fellow did say sorry.
Not too cool, Topps.

Philthy · 11-25-2025, 03:59 PM

Do we know the print run for the golden mirror autos that are in update?

350 give or take me thinks

Funkster · 11-25-2025, 08:22 PM

Ordered some fanatics blasters that are arriving Friday. Ordering from them is always such a hassle, its always slow and it feels like they inundate you with spam offers.

Mine just shipped today, hoping they continue to be great like earlier Fanatics blasters.

They have a white Fanatics logo on the upper right corner of the box, hope that helps.

Cracktoast · 11-26-2025, 05:59 AM

Update has been out a while now so where is the outrage over no Black Paper Parallels like there was for Series 1 ?
