First Buzz: 2025 Topps Exalted WWE wrestling cards

[TimmyWeiss]

I am curious if the Hogan autos are on-card in this set. I know CJ were stickers, but if they were on-card, that means this item could hold a little value in boxes. As i see it, these would hold a better value than CJ and Universe.

This set is dog crap. They had to get it out before Chrome because they knew it was dog crap and needed that money grab before everyone is broke for a while after Chrome.

It looks like a garbage knock off version of the Undisputed set they used to do.

I opened 1 of my 3 pre-order boxes, got this:

Base Card: Carmelo Hayes Non-Numbered
Base Card: Rey Fenix 057/150 <-- pretty cool I don't mind this at all
Insignia Ink: Rhea Ripley 23/99 <--- this paid for the box
Apparition Autographs: Brinley Reece <--Who?
Exalted Relics: Karrion Kross 88/99 <-- Of course, a released guy. Great.

I'm probably going to cave in and open my other 2 boxes. Joy!

These new Topps checkout additions are bad. Email confirmation to checkout, then no email is sent.

[Novice]

Ordered two! This is my first major WWE RIP.

Thanks for sharing and good luck!

took a couple minutes but email did come through, who knows if it's an actual anti-bot attempt or just more red tape to slow everyone down

[Bob Ross]

Invalid cart origin is really fun to see!

[mossoholic]

How did anyone even get an order in? They must have found a new setup to guarantee even less manual orders.

And now out of stock.

Really cool.

[mossoholic]

And these geniuses made sure to make you have to enter in your cc or other info manually now. Why in the world was Shopify info first not saved and second not even an option to click when it was the damn Shopify checkout page?!?!

[Bob Ross]

By my count there are now 12 steps to checking out:

1) log in
2) solve a capthca thing to finish log in
3) add to cart
4) enter email to confirm you want to checkout
5) wait for email to come in and click link
6) email never comes. keep waiting
7) watch products go out of stock somehow while still waiting for the checkout email link
8) link comes, click link, now redirected to a Queue wait
9) get through queue, another thing where you have to draw a box around something
10) get into checkout, now a Cart Origin error
11) keep hitting place order, get "Too many checkout attempts"
12) Once that is lifted, place order

You forgot adding some type of payment info now. Shopify payment info not saved or an option to click even though the checkout page is the Shopify checkout page.

Ordered two boxes - got through checkout by 1:03
Know I got lucky

[WWEToppsChrome]

Opened my 2nd preorder box

Base Card: Kevin Owen's non-numbered
Base Card: Roman Reigns 70/99
Ambient Autographs: Bron Breakker non-numbered

I look forward to trying this new checkout attempt with Chrome next Friday...

Had that a bunch of times. Went back to main page, still had 1 in cart. Clicked on Cart and went straight to checkout and got it

[PrinceVegeta]

It's almost as if the entire thing is window dressing and they don't want the plebs actually buying boxes.

Well? Is this how bots get weeded out? If so then more power to it. At least they seem to be listening and doing something (albeit potentially flawed) about the bot farm Dbags

All they are doing is creating more issues for the general public. The longer the product is there and the more hurdles, the more the bots will get.

It seems most don't remember but the first handful of Shopify releases you could get an order in give or take 6 seconds. All you had to do was refresh the boxes page, click buy now on case or box, it would automatically take you to the checkout page with info saved and hit place order. No errors, no waiting lines, no waiting for the page to load and page not showing up. The product would be gone in 60-90 seconds but with that method even 1 minute is an eternity. You think bots were getting more orders then than now? I don't think so.

I think the first handful of Shopify releases I got orders of boxes and cases and in separate orders every time. If they allowed multiple orders I could have gotten multiple on boxes on all those too. I don't think I've gotten a single case order of an in demand product since they started all these different errors and general manual user holdups give or take 9 months ago.

These hobby boxes are now readily available online at or a smidge below the initial MSRP. As was predictable, the releases of Chrome (and Chrome's friends) plus Royalty ate this release's interest, plus this set always felt tacked-on anyway. Still though, it may be rare for a Topps WWE hobby box to be available post-release for $200ish so not judging anyone that dives in it, as even though its an odd release it does have Cena, Rock, and HHH autos so the star power is still there.

Has more to do with what has happened with WWE recently. Terrible fan sentiment and interest at the lowest it's been the last few years. Everything has tanked recently. Even 2026 Topps Chrome hobby is basically MSRP.
