I was going to skip this one but the YouTube videos showing these opened made me think they weren’t that bad. They look better than I expected, action shots and an interesting finish. I preordered a couple Fanatics value boxes, left these at Target for the rest of you.
These look like the first Topps FB/BB that will stay longer on shelves this cycle.
I like that Topps releases checklists and odds but is there any way to know the total number of numbered cards a player has?
Trying to quantify this and think what is a good value for an AJ card and it started out easy with Bowman U…
9 Bowman U Now: 116 numbered times: 1,044 total cards
Then comes McDonald’s: 1 base card, 9 Inserts or other cards on the checklist before variants considered. Unclear numbering. This could be anything from like 500-2000 from this set?
Now add Bowman Basketball Base, Chrome, a few variants on the first release, Megas add more variants and a signature series coming. I saw a $130 /499 AJ selling on eBay. No way to get at this really but is it possible for this set to get close to 7k numbered AJs?
His first draft pick will add another 250-300 numbered cards.
So let’s say speculatively at this point there are 10k numbered AJs cards. And this doesn’t include rarer unnumbered cards.
Next season with all tops releases could he get into 100k numbered/lower than 1k run cards total?
You could do an exercise with Cooper Flagg. Is he at 100k numbered/unique cards? Or Jaxon Darts. With Panini and Topps will this year be seen as a junk wax numbering year?
All this isn’t fully transparent but the secret of numbered cards is it sells scarcity. Just wondering if the hobby can keep up with expanding numbers? Stuff’s flying off shelves and going for a lot on eBay. But beanie babies were a thing too. What are your thoughts on the supply of numbered cards?
I’m not seeing a price on it anywhere or it listed. just Mega and Value for retail. Anyone have more information?
Lots of numbers and cool parallels. I was going to try for a more expensive Puka but I’m kind of mad at his behavior lately.
I opened a few value boxes last month and got a Mahomes refractor, Stafford, and a numbered 49er RB. I like opening but would only do hangers after this. Mayb one a mega box at cost just for fun
Especially for those of us who own one or more of the 2.6 million Cooper Flagg rookie cards that exist now before the rest of the sets are released.
I’ve seen and bought at Dicks and Barnes and Noble. Haven’t seen at Target or HEB. Haven’t tried Walmart. Im in San Antonio.
Im curious if this will all sell out quickly or stay on the shelves like Topps Baseball Series 1, McDonalds All American.
Ive opened 3 blasters and have 5 stored. wondering if I should grab a couple more at MSRP.
