I believe they may

I don’t think it will be cheap if it was advertised.

LVDan · 01-10-2023, 06:02 PM

$250 or even $300 wouldn’t shock me but but I also can see the thinking behind turning the narrative over a bit, creates fomo for the next one.

Just wish we could see some product first to see if any of the production/quality problems from TC and TCU have carried over into this.

Would not be smart of them to sell this for more than regular Sapphire.

Here’s a pic of the box. 2 parallels and says looks for “rare” autographs.

What's everyones guess on how long the odds are for autos? 1:10 boxes?

cj828282 · 01-10-2023, 08:04 PM

Topps used “rare” to describe auto chances for Topps minis this year and odds were 1:32 boxes. With the short auto list I think it will be much higher odds than 1 per 10 boxes but hope to be wrong.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why this product even exists....it's basically a color parallel turned into it's own set.

LVDan · 01-10-2023, 08:09 PM

Yeah, only 14 guys on the checklist. Even if they add new parallels I can’t see a small enough overall PR to have them land every 10 boxes. Maybe every 25 but more likely 40?

Just imagine if this was around for 2018 TCU?

This TCU release will suck worse than TCU in the national championship game

Topps dropped about a week before Target.
I didn’t look at delivery dates though.

At $200 there would be people who bot to get a bunch of orders in, but it wouldn’t be mass botted to the point manual can’t place orders.

At $150 i’d expect it to sell out within 20-30 min max, maybe a lot faster.

At $200 I’d expect it to sell out within the day.

$250 or higher it takes a few days.

that does make sense

cj828282 · 01-10-2023, 08:49 PM

2020 Target had boxes listed before Topps the same day.
2021 Topps had boxes listed and then Target dropped boxes. Target boxes were received by many before the Topps boxes were received. I remember not buying on Topps hoping for a Target drop and the 5% and free shipping and it worked out.

Because they are shiny and colorful and look good in photos.

That's what the ultra-modern era is all about.

On a more substantive level, they are the best looking Topps Chrome base cards made -- cracked ice refractor with thick card stock. They are essentially an ultra premium version of TC.

But yes, they are clearly gimmicky and tailored made for hype boys.
