Who is going to want this product?

Bob Ross · 02-04-2026, 03:35 PM

Something other than Fanatics? Oh, I'm in.

oldgoldy97 · 02-04-2026, 03:38 PM

I’m in.

BlowoutBuzz · 02-04-2026, 03:47 PM

One auto last year ... three autos this year. Box SRP less than half of last year, too.

hermanotarjeta · 02-04-2026, 03:47 PM

I can’t believe I’m thinking that I kind of miss panini already…..the SRP for sure.

Oops! I missed the no logos part.

Trash.

jcardstore · 02-04-2026, 03:49 PM

3 whole autos of players who will be out of the league in 3 years AND no logos? This is the best product ever!

Also ... pre-orders are live right now.

Some Panini baseball products including Donruss with nothing but prospects and retired stars sell stupidly well compared to what you might guess. Checklist in basketball won't be quite as interesting but I can see this not sucking.

IronCladLou · 02-04-2026, 05:29 PM

I am intrigued. Cheap rip for some fun. I am totally out of the Topps market so this might scratch an itch

livfreely · 02-04-2026, 06:13 PM

Who can sign in this product? I know a lot of guys can only sign with Fanatics

Looks like $110. Doesn't seem that bad I guess compared to $1000.

oldgoldy97 · 02-04-2026, 06:41 PM

9 boxes of this or one Topps 3?

OneBuck · 02-05-2026, 06:51 AM

96 cards per box with 44 of them being inserts. I wonder how big this checklist is. Initially the $100 price tag seemed enticing, but I'm used to Donruss boxes being 300 cards. Over $1/card for unlicensed Donruss just seems kind of eh.

BlowoutBuzz · 02-05-2026, 09:19 AM

Added some signers info to the original link.

4barrel · 02-05-2026, 09:23 AM

It breaks my soul that the Rated Rookie logo is going on an unlicensed product.

Tonic3 · 02-05-2026, 09:37 AM

Ha ha, unlicensed Downtowns for everyone. Can't wait to see the breakers try to hype up unlicensed/mass produced "case hits".
I'm not ready to forgive Panini and start handing them my money again after years of price gouging. The $110/box is still about what Prizm/Select used to cost...with licensing. Still way too much. Donruss should be a $50/box product, especially without logos and airbrushed photos.

If this is $110 out of the gate you just know it's going to drop more after release. Keep speaking with your wallet everyone.

You could’ve bought hobby boxes of topps flagship for about that out of the gate. But you complained a lot about it. Why’s this unlicensed product better?!
