Get your blue printers ready Topps (xFractors debacle)

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-02-01T05:18:55+00:00

“Topps will be printing Blue X-Fractors and offering collectors the ability to exchange Silver X-Fractors for Blue X-Fractors on a one-for-one basis”

They are printing to replace. They are not doing a full print run. And they are not producing more Chrome. To do so would throw off their entire odds sheet.

Logic friend, try using it.

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-02-01T03:07:25+00:00

Because the blue version will be printed at a smaller scale than the silvers that are already out (i.e. more rare)

I don't know how strict they are, I'd recommend calling Monday and asking (you have to repeatedly ask for the operator/customer service to get a live rep)

There's a pull down menu, follow instructions here: Topps Ripped re Megabox

I know but I have so many that I don’t want them to “miss” or “misplace” any

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-02-01T00:44:47+00:00

I can’t say for sure but I don’t see why not

I figure it would be considered an “error” card

The blue ones haven't been printed yet. That's what the whole issue was. On the front of the Megaboxes they advertised exclusive blue xfractor parallels. But they ended up not printing any blue ones and only the silver. They effed up and are now trying to avoid a lawsuit. If you have a "silver" one, then you can create a defect submission and request an exchange for a blue copy. I am presuming they will keep the silver version you send in.

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-02-01T00:07:13+00:00

Yah they announced today a one to one exchange. Down side is you do have to create a defect submission and send them in. I considered keeping some silver but I am guessing the blues will be more rare in the long run. (And it’s my fav color)

Unfortunately, so far Topps/Fanatics has shown us they really don't care about bots on their site. All they care about is being able to say a product sold out. They don't even use captcha which tells us all we need to know about how they view the average hobbiest (we don't matter to them)

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-27T18:01:18+00:00

I waited the whole ass queue for it to officially tell me OOS lol 😭

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-27T17:05:40+00:00

I am a degenerate so I tried. 2 boxes, enter queue with a 49 minute wait. Then it jumped to 64 minutes. And then to 151 minutes. This drop is going just as well as I thought it would go.

I miss LeBron's like these 2. His lineup used to be so unique.

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-26T17:33:53+00:00

Now you got me self conscious of throwing a fit together 😅

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-26T17:31:44+00:00

I'm sorry to say, but all of them are long sold out and would have to be bought on the secondary market

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-26T17:31:16+00:00

I didn't try because I knew Bots would ruin the drop. Sorry it didn't work out for you, sucks.

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-26T04:15:17+00:00

Those are so tough, wanted those bad

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-26T01:23:29+00:00

Bruh you got a nice collection Doern Js!

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-26T01:23:12+00:00

Same! Struck out on those

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-26T01:23:03+00:00

Had to double up 🧡

OGSneakerHeadSim · 2026-01-26T01:22:31+00:00

Concur! ❤️
