From Prizm football Fanatics megas until now any card product worth having from Fanatics is 95% botted and 5% discord member purchases. What makes even less sense is that if you have a Fanatics rep right now is the least amount of product you can get from Fanatics. So when nothing was botted you could get a ton but now everything is botted and they let you order usually only 1-4 boxes now. That's if you get a call or text from your rep which doesn't always happen. Before bot city I think everything you could order like 10-50 of.

Yea, they say they are starting a new company, and will likely just end up purchasing Topps and keeping facilities/personnel mostly intact, but the culture will shift from being solely about cards to...something different........it could end up being good, but I'm not holding my breath.

okumeister · 08-23-2021, 05:18 PM

Assuming the "Lite" format is same as Bowman Chrome "Lite" coming later this year, this means no autos in the boxes?
Just exclusive parallels and base?

cj828282 · 08-23-2021, 05:18 PM

Is this without the autos and $50 a box? Really interesting.

okumeister · 08-23-2021, 05:22 PM

Correction to what I said above.
I guess the Bowman Lite just doesn't "guarantee" hits/autos.
So, with Topps Chrome Lite, I suppose we "can" hit an auto, but maybe not guaranteed.

Maybe the missing black refractor parallel.

IN FOR 2!!

okumeister · 08-23-2021, 05:29 PM

For Bowman Chrome Lite, below is what I can find from cardboard connection.
I assume something similar to be the case for Topps Chrome Lite, without guarantee of an auto.

+++
The LITE format is home to exclusive Black & White Mini-Diamond Refractor cards falling 1:2 packs.
+++
Displaying the work of artist Tyson Beck, Bowman Ascensions (1 per Hobby case; 1:144 LITE packs) is only for the cream of the crop among rookies and prospects.
+++
Chrome Prospect Autographs
B&W Mini-Diamond Refractor (LITE)
+++
21 Bowman Chrome Baseball LITE Hobby Box Break
5 Black & White Mini-Diamond Refractor Parallels
+++

21 TC Platinum also has lite boxes with pink refractor parallel autos.

"Look for Hobby LITE Exclusive Black & White Mini-Diamond Parallels! Each pack contains four (4) base cards including four (4) mini diamond parallels per box."

No, just wild guessing. Without autos it is really worth $50 but who knows and now with potential for special insert will probably be more than that.

I think this will be priced around $70-$100. 3 blasters will get you the same quantity of cards for ~$80-$90.

premium1981 · 08-23-2021, 05:52 PM

I think we have a first here. Reasonable odds that when cost, tax, and shipping are factored in, it could give a negative return on investment. It was bound to happen eventually. I see zero draw to this one. TC sucks this year. In a big way.
