Yeah, that is a bummer but maybe these will be listed on Amazon Japan without limits.

Looks like they brought back the cherry tree inserts, very happy about that.

STLtoMN · 10-30-2023, 09:52 PM

in for as many as i can get my hands on lol

For some reason, it appears as though I'm only getting a...."partial translation",...along the navigation/checkout process, with Google Chrome. At any rate,...I opened a US, Topps product page and went step-by-step on the checkout process, along with the Japanese counterpart. I essentially got what I could only reasonably interpret as a...."FAILURE",....when I submitted the order. I checked my email; no confirmation from Topps,...no confirmation from my C.C.,...NOR,...no "fraud alert", etc. asking if I attempted to make the purchase. Long story short; I attempted to...."order, again", but I get a prompt on the page that says I already ordered the max amount, (4) allowed....?!!?

Whenever I order from Topps U.S., I get an immediate confirmation, and if I check my credit or debit cards, the charges are always,...immediately reflected. In short; is something "different" with the Japanese processors, or,...is it simply a "glitch" where I didn't actually purchase, ANYTHING,...but their system is showing that I did....???

Does this set also have the dented corner parallels that were so popular last year?

BabaORiley · 10-30-2023, 10:23 PM

THANKS OP!

Very clutch, cj!

BabaORiley · 10-30-2023, 10:24 PM

It's a shame that it feel like all my favorite products now get released in one big postseason dump (Pro Debut, Topps Holiday, Topps Japan).

Jolten Joe · 10-31-2023, 05:16 AM

so roughly $122 a box. Is that in line with previous years ? I'd be very concerned about print run.

bmann33 · 10-31-2023, 07:43 AM

Last year 4 boxes was ~$135/ea for me-this year $120.

Price in yen is same as last year: 16,800.

I'm also worried about print run. If its the same as the previous two years then I'm in for a couple cases. If its bloated then I'm probably good with my four boxes.

Showed that for me too, then when I logged in to my account the price changed.

Trueblue · 11-01-2023, 12:35 AM

Multiple boxes change the price in-cart.

hammertime · 11-01-2023, 12:38 AM

Ah that's what it is...

oldgoldy97 · 11-01-2023, 07:45 AM

Do you need a Topps Japan log in?

oddstuff · 11-01-2023, 07:02 PM

Was this blurb part of last year's ordering screen?

"・Due to limited production, trading cards cannot be exchanged due to scratches, dirt, or wear. Even if the card has printing errors, scratches, dirt, or scratches, we cannot exchange it for the same card. Please acknowledge this before completing the purchase procedure."

Yes, had the same description last year. But Topps US took damage cards for replacement so I expect the same this year.

cj828282 · 11-08-2023, 11:54 PM

Was able to get the checklist today.

https://jp.topps.com/amfile/file/dow...roduct/344838/

There are going to be 1988 Cherry Tree auto parallels!

bub838 · 11-09-2023, 12:09 AM

Checklist looks fun! Cant wait to see how much bigger the print run is.

STLtoMN · 11-09-2023, 01:02 PM

looks like this stuff is going to be killer again... hopefully we get the same amount of parallels per box or close

theredmenace · 11-09-2023, 01:26 PM

Print run didn't change from '21 to '22 but there's an additional insert (WBC National Team) and more autos in '23. I'd expect a 15% increase minimum. How many boxes per case last year?
