First Buzz: 2025 Topps T205 baseball cards

[Bob Ross]

Oh yeah, I'm not entering this.

Entered all 3. I don't understand the thought that anyone is "wasting" an EQL entry on this product unless you don't actually want it in the first place. If you want it, enter it. If you don't, don't. Whether or not you are saving good graces for future products should be irrelevant if you actually want this one.

This is correct. Enter what you want. Not entering something thinking it will waste your "EQL odds" is pure nonsense because the EQL odds thing is simply fake.

[scotchtape0]

Not entering this just because you want to save up your "higher chances" to win in EQL in the future, when in reality you are still going to have a 95%+ chance of losing, makes very little sense. I'm not sure if this release will have the same low odds of winning as past EQL releases, but win or lose, it won't have much of an impact on your winning or losing in the future.

Aren't EQL results usually out within 1-2 hours of the drop ending? I haven't seen anything yet for T205. Maybe because they actually have a lot of winners this time as opposed to every other drop where like 10 people actually get chosen?

Case wins going out now

[prospectorgems]

Not a winner on the first drop. 2 more drops to go.

9 winners in EQL Discord for 2025 Topps T205 – (5) Four-Box Carton Case

[jduds]

With as slow as 206 moved last year, I'd be shocked if there are many who get shut out of this unless the EQL system just triggers FOMO. I kept waiting for Topps to do the trick of getting a big retailer to put this up for presale at a much higher price to up the FOMO.

That's a lot of winners! Honestly, most probably didn't bother participating in the EQL too.

100%.

2 × 2025 Topps T205 - Four-Box Carton - I was a winner on this one

1 x 2025 Topps T205 – (5) Four-Box Carton Case - I did not win this one (but I’m ok with that)

5 x 2025 Topps T205 - Single Box - I was also a winner on this one

I'm unfamiliar with how the EQL releases work. I did not have access to my phone during the entry window. Will Topps have a second drop available at a higher price on their site or am I completely at the mercy of resellers now?

resellers. Sorry bud.

[JECpsu]

I'm still on the "picking winners" screen for my 1 carton entry. I think this usually means I'm SOL if winners are already seeing their notice?

Thought I'd actually win this won (now at a 5 EQL losing streak).

[davidantx]

won a single box which is all I went for

Hi,

can you tell me which discord is this? I always lose out

[Anejo]

I tried on a case and (5) cartons, lost on both.

[hotcalsun]

To the earlier points, if resellers bought them thinking they are getting Bob Ross multiples and price, they are in for a sad surprise.

I always open a ton of 205 / 206 stuff each year, am probably one of the few that do but looks like I struck out this year -- awaiting 1 final EQL result after missing out on the first two.

[scotchtape0]

I lost on the case but got 10 4-box cartons.

I appreciate the information (even if it is a bummer)!

Which was a better win. The 1 box or the 4 box carton?

[brothertona]

I lost on the single box

0 for 3. Ouch. I was hoping this really was the "everyone wins" product. Probably good news for resellers though.

[prospectorgems]

Have no desire to resell. Won 2 entries.

5x Four-Box Carton
10x Single Boxes
