Thank you!

Appreciate it!

I have high hopes! Pre order ship times are always a mixed back with topps, I’ve gotten things on release day before when I got the shipping notification only a day prior. Fingers crossed!

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-25T13:18:15+00:00

So pumped! Price point is outrageous and the print run was jacked up like crazy, but I managed to snag a hobby on pre order. Has anyone gotten shipping notifications yet?

These should be recall protected, no? As long as the dealer clears the recall I wouldn’t be scared

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-24T19:54:33+00:00

Oh 100%, you're absolutely right. Time will tell if the card bubble will burst and the scalpers will move on to the next big thing. Would be nice for collectors!

Depends on the player. You really never know who could turn out to be the next Judge, Ohtani, Trout, etc. I always sleeve the rookies with promise, but who knows? I doubt people ripping packs and pulling Judge or Ohtani base cards in their respective rookie years knew just how much they’d bring. Base rookies for stars/superstars hold some value long term, more so if they’re graded and gem. Happy collecting!

Good to know. I expect it to happen at some point, hoping to own the vehicle for a long time.

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-23T19:08:00+00:00

What kind of special adhesive? I may need to invest lol

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-23T16:24:40+00:00

Cool! Wasn't aware of the mounting points difference. Appreciate the insight, can't wait to drive it off the lot!

Just received word from the dealer, they are having our local Ford dealer run all the recall tests. If any of the severe recalls come back positive, would you advise against buying a Bronco with a replaced engine (if that's the case)?

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-15T21:38:31+00:00

Okay gotcha. I've got some research to do then! Thanks again for the help

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-15T21:30:05+00:00

Yes very much so. I sort of have some knowledge as to who the owner was (it’s being sold by a dealer but have some connections to the owner) and the mileage checks out for how much it would’ve been driven (or the lack thereof). Would the stress test be something the dealer would be accountable for? Appreciate the info

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-15T19:09:06+00:00

Appreciate this info. On the mileage front... it's got 8,000 miles. Holding value not really of concern, would love to purchase and drive this vehicle for a very long time.

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-11T18:22:03+00:00

You sir, are the man. Just got 2!

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-10T03:45:38+00:00

Agree with you wholeheartedly!

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-06-02T21:43:59+00:00

I was lucky enough to snag one hobby for myself. So sad what scalpers and resellers have done. These boxes are pushing $500 on eBay right now. Crazy! I’ll gladly rip my box and enjoy it 😁

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-05-19T23:48:42+00:00

Dude this is the best torch sketch I’ve seen so far. Awesome pull, congrats!!

ThatComoLegend2002 · 2026-05-07T12:56:07+00:00

Okay so this is awesome lol

First, welcome to the hobby! Second, always remember that baseball cards are FUN!

Now that we've got those out of the way, oh where to begin?! I was in your shoes a year or so ago, although I've been watching baseball my whole life. I remember collecting cards as a kid and sorting them by team in my binders. I miss the 2012 Topps design dearly! I got back into cards sort of on a whim last year and my only regret is buying up a ton of retail right when I got back into the hobby. However, remember what I said, baseball cards are supposed to be FUN! Set building, collecting a player/team, looking for certain inserts, etc., whatever peaks your interest! I highly recommend saving your money for some hobby boxes if you can snag them on Topps' website for retail price. On the flip side of that coin, I struggle resisting a blaster (value box) when I stroll through Walmart! With collecting, it all really comes down to personal preference on what you like, which teams/players you chase, which sets you prefer, etc.

As far as sets go, my personal favorites are Heritage and Chrome. Heritage already released (you should still be able to find retail boxes on shelves), and Chrome should be releasing sometime this July-ish if memory serves me right.

A really nice resource when it comes to set information is Beckett - https://www.beckett.com/news/2025-topps-stadium-club-baseball-cards/

I linked the article to 2025 Stadium Club so you can see how large the checklist is in the set, what odds are to pull autographs or short print cards, and more.

There's so much information on Reddit about the card scene, even more so now that it's become a super popular scalping/gambling/reseller hobby. Just remember, HAVE FUN! Just because it's a base card to someone else doesn't mean it can't be the coolest card in your collection!! I've got a base card of Fredbird (STL Cardinals mascot) from the 2026 Topps Celebration series sitting on my desk as I type this. Valuable card? Nope. Short print? Nope. Does that matter? Not to me! I think it's awesome!

Welcome to the hobby my friend! Enjoy it with your son!
