Nice. Did the Flagg auto come out of the hobby box or a hanger?

Chris P · 01-03-2026, 12:10 PM

Starting my 8 hangers from Fanatics and I swear I'm sure Fanatics just hates me. There's backwards card and...it's Cooper Flagg and it'....just a regular Serenity insert. Damn Fanatics can't even throw me an unnumbered refractor version lol. What a fun start

Ty. Yeah rock stars are very sweet looking but I like the paradox even better. Separated a pile already of potential mvps sga/ joker/ others..

Yeah definitely got money back, if sell. Always hard to let stuff go. Flagg auto pretty much paid for everything if keep. Will probably try and move them all if anyone wants anything let me know.

h00perstar34 · 01-03-2026, 02:55 PM

Hangers target up. Got busier than expected but got thru. 2 max orders, guess bots on these now

CardClub2Elect · 01-03-2026, 04:31 PM

How do you guys feel about the singles from this set? Sales are pretty crazy now but that's too be expected. I was watching one Keyonte George Gold /50 that wound up finishing just over $200. Seems crazy, most of his rookie cards /50 aren't going for $200. Definitely like some cards and will wait till the off season. I know there should be a dip like there is in all releases but I wonder if this set will dip more than usual.

CardClub2Elect · 01-03-2026, 04:37 PM

Just to add that post. With the projected print runs of a lot of these case hits being in the thousands, the bottom has to fall out at some point, right? I suppose it hasn't happened with Downtowns yet but those already had an established reputation before they started getting printed like crazy. I look at cards like Fanatical and just can't imagine it having staying power. Just one morons opinion, I'm old and out of touch with most things.

phil · 01-03-2026, 05:18 PM

Hobby $650+ headed for $700 on ebay, hangers probably $40 soon.

True golds do very well. In the world of panini there were only 10 golds, with Topps it will always be 50. Opening up that parallel to a lot more collectors.

Just have to find the ones that are rarer. A print run of 1,430 is not too bad when you get a PSA 10 of the card. Anything below a 600 print run is pretty good for a hot player considering the amount of people in the hobby.

A modern pop of 1430 is a crap ton for the next 20 years.

600 is also far too many.

At those numbers there's only down arrows coming

CardClub2Elect · 01-03-2026, 06:43 PM

Trying my best to avoid the FOMO with singles. Just picked up an Ace Bailey Purple Tall Tales /75 for $35 all in though. Seemed on the low side of all current comps.

Boo · 01-03-2026, 07:09 PM

Just received 8 hangers from Fanatics and 20 from Topps. Opened one of each, best cards were a Lebron refractor and a Shaq Ball of Fame /150. I’ll probably hold the rest for now.

Coach Ditka · 01-03-2026, 09:21 PM

When did the fanatics megas sell out on Fanatics? I thought they were still up the other day. Between a gift card & fan cash, I had enough to cover the cost of one & was going to take a stab.

They were up earlier today. Check back every now and then, they like to play us with fomo by taking off site then putting back up a day or two later

Not when the people in the hobby have increased drastically. I guarantee you there are more holders of Cooper Flagg’s Rock Stars card than the ~638 produced

Jumbos are around $1700 now too, and those didn't have a second release.

Everything is up though, not just NBA. Cosmic MLB has jumped huge, even B&W is 440-450. It's really a wild time for wax.

You ain’t kidding, Roberto.
I’m keeping a stash of the Target Black Friday blasters, feels like those might be sleepers

Moss84istheGOAT · 01-03-2026, 10:46 PM

I think you guys and myself have to accept this is the set of the yr, wont be out matched by anything else topps produces this yr, just a bunch of weird ass products thru the season plain and simple in my opinion, sapphire a distant second, and judging by all the other sapphire products they dont sell as well as the Chrome ever did.
