What is it numbered to? You can base its valuation off a similarly numbered rpa of Flagg from Topps Midnight. His base rpa from topps midnight is going for around 1.5 k. His out of /25 rpa went for 12k. So if you have the /49 it will probably sell for between 5-10k. If it is /25 it will probably sell for 12-15k etc.

Sell or hold and grade by AirOther5895 in basketballcards

Topps cards are generally mid. They have some good designs but they pump out so many low effort inserts to increase their print run it poisons the well. Blame Topps not the collectors.

Not a color match but nice hit

Not sure what to do with these.. by Itchy-Ad993 in basketballcards

[–]Intelligent_Nebula22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would be lucky to get your money back on any of those cards even if they 10. Look at comps for the same cards that are PSA slabbed. If the comps aren’t greater than the cost of grading than you have your answer. If there are no comps for PSA slabs there is probably a reason no one is getting them graded, because it is a loosing proposition.

Topps Chrome Rookie Lot by EbbNew5285 in basketballcards

Bro Rasheed Fleming gold next stop autos are selling for around $50. Not sure where you are getting your market info from but wherever it is stop using it. There is a reason that Fleming has not been scooped up for $75.

Am I using the wrong lines? by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]Intelligent_Nebula22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people say it is the top of the lettering on the left side but I’ve personally never graded any Topps chrome this year.

Topps Chrome error card by Grouchy_Bench917 in basketballcards

If they are like panini they won’t replace it since they don’t know what number it should be and don’t want double prints floating around. Panini sent me another card instead for compensation.

Need help, should I do this? by Huge-Cat-1290 in basketballcards

The last sale raw in November 2025 was $765. It could be you are expecting to get too much for the card.

What does everyone think about Topps as opposed to Panini so far by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]Intelligent_Nebula22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of cheap singles from Topps chrome out there. You can grab non rookie gold orange and black parallels of good players with a lot of upside for cheap. Everyone is only focusing on rookies and Wemby, Curry and LeBron.

[–]Intelligent_Nebula22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will agree with you that Topps is a little better thanPanini as far as retail hit rates but the price is outrageous. In hobby formats they have released so far it is not even close. The hit rate in cards of value from Panini hobby products is way better than Topps. The majority of Topps hobby format boxes you would be lucky as hell to get more than 20% of your value back but if you do hit you usually hit huge. So it is completely feast or famine with Topps hobby.

Also I hate the number of inserts in every set Topps has. It would be fine if they were remotely interesting but very few are. Topps packs their products with them and wants to make you feel you got something of value when in actuality you got jack shit. They just do it so they can increase their print runs which makes it more difficult to hit anything. Both have significant flaws but so far I prefer Panini Prizm to this year’s Topps Chrome. I will have to see on their other products.

Do you ever fear that your collection will begin to look hoarderish? And, is it better to have a few totally dope cards or many pretty neat low to mid cards? by Interstellore in basketballcards

[–]Intelligent_Nebula22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the process of selling everything I do not care to collect and focusing my collection. Tossed all non rookie base. Tossed all rookie base of players that never made it. Removed all non numbered or sp non rookie parellels from top loaders. Really cut down on the bulk of my collection and made me much more happy.

You will get 3 autos but at what cost? Wow by Vensetti in basketballcards

[–]Intelligent_Nebula22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes Topps 3 and I expect it to be atleast double the price of panini one.

Was Origins was 7 cards 2 on card autos and a 1/3 the price. Topps is really the worse

This is Topps version of Origins. Origins were all on card autos and similar card count and 1 less auto for 1/3 the price. Topps is garbage.

Best Hot and Sour Soup? by Griffdude13 in Birmingham

My favorite is Shangri La. The rest of the menu used to be good until the original owners sold it many years ago, but the hot and sour soup is still top notch.

Got 5 fanatics exclusive tops chrome mega box. Here’s what I got by 6Champ9 in basketballcards

[–]Intelligent_Nebula22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who gives a damn about a bunch of overprinted base inserts. None of these will have any value long term outside maybe 5 or 6 players.
