The alter ego’s will not only be 1/1’s.

I’m interested in seeing what the “base” version looks like (assuming just white border). Will they all be refractors? Will they have the colored parallels?

Here is a base basketball alter ego’s

Some of the prices on ebay are hilarious. I get it, you overpaid, but at least be reasonable. Scrub gold rc for $200. Scrub gold rc auto for $300. The only thing driving this is the debut patch autos. Without that, this is an $80 product.

Yeah, right!?! Imagine that!!

I have the same issue. Label created Monday, still no received scan.

bub838 · 12-10-2025, 10:01 AM

If it helps anyone feel better, mine wasn’t scanned either.
Label created in Texas on 12/7
No movement
This morning all of a sudden departs Memphis at 3am, in Michigan and out for delivery at 9am.

Why do you keep buying their products? Seems that you're rewarding their business model so I'm sure they have no incentive to change.

Nevermind, yours hasn't been scanned yet. Good luck. I think you'll get it in time though.

I'm man-enough to eat a slice of humble pie, when apropos. Well; half o' slice, anyway! My 6 Hobby boxes which showed as not even being in FedEx custody as of 10:30'ish p.m. EST, last night, are actually out for delivery, this morning! The 10 Jumbos; sittin' in Tennessee.

I refuse to acknowledge the subliminal-snarkiness of your question, beyond this.

Just agree with it because he's not wrong.

It's amazing the product people open without researching it first. If you have some money to blow and wanna open a box,by all means go for it but don't be surprised if the results aren't what you expect.

Same exact pattern for me except im in Florida. Memphis to Jacksonville and then out for delivery all in a 6 hour span after showing no movement since label was printed last Friday.

That’s not a Topps product so not relevant.

johnlocke36 · 12-10-2025, 11:54 AM

I saw filthbomb breaks hit a debut patch in 3 straight boxes. Odds to do that consecutively .0005%. So impressive start before product even released

Not to crazy to believe i guess, assuming they open the entire print run of breakers delight this will happen every 15 yers or so.

Are they all redemptions?

RainCityShecks · 12-10-2025, 12:03 PM

Jumbos went quick

RainCityShecks · 12-10-2025, 12:04 PM

NM, restock, even cases

Jboff73 · 12-10-2025, 12:06 PM

For posterity and comparison purposes:

Hobby: $219.99
Jumbo: $439.99

Hobby case: $2,639.99
Jumbo case: $3,519.99

RainCityShecks · 12-10-2025, 12:08 PM

Was really hoping they'd post some delight boxes for sale like they did in years past, I could do w/out all that base. Oh well.

Come on man. Isn't a company in the world more on the up and up then Fanatics.

prospectorgems · 12-10-2025, 12:11 PM

I already have my pre-orders coming in but was hoping to snag two more jumbos. The checkout system is a joke as we all know as it just allows the time for the bots to snag it all up but it doesn't make much sense as to why they would. Looking at recent ebay sales people are selling at about a $5 profit after fees.

Unless the bots weren't active and Topps only released 20 boxes of jumbos for everyone to fight over.

Bob Ross · 12-10-2025, 12:11 PM

Sweet jesus a $40 increase on jumbos vs. the preorder price.

Thank you as always, Fanatics!

Asian62150 · 12-10-2025, 12:16 PM

Another joke of a release.

jjcan · 12-10-2025, 12:17 PM

I would say jumbo is the way to go, but watching the early breaks. I am not even sure that is the right thinking. Almost $500 can buy so many singles, or even 3 AG boxes and get change.

That’s their way of saying “You should have given us the free 45-day loan!”

Boredlawyer · 12-10-2025, 12:31 PM

Lol I don't think I could handle the shame of dropping $500 and hitting something like Tim Elko, Sauryn Lao and Cade Gibson blue refractor autos, and hoping to get $7 for a Christian Koss gold wave refractor on Ebay.

mossoholic · 12-10-2025, 12:34 PM

Another wonderful afternoon of sitting in waiting lines that never result in an order and being told 1000 times Topps doesn't accept any credit card. I'm sure there will be no issue with having pallets of it on Fanatics website at a 50% markup soon.

Has anyone ever gotten a checkout with the Topps and Shopify waiting line system?

Has anyone been able to order a single case of any in demand release the last 4 months or so?
