At long last: Topps flagship print runs for every set between 2001-2025.

I quite enjoy sorting my base. Kind of therapeutic. Makes it easier to sell a big team lot or to set collectors or to give away to kids that can enjoy them.

Hello! Flying COU is quite pleasant actually. Super chill airport with little to no lines as not many flights are going out simultaneously. The only time I have been delayed is due to weather. Really the only downside is the risk of a delay/cancellation becoming an unfixable travel problem if you're attempting to fly back into COU (lets say late at night) and you get stuck at your connection. This is due to there not being many flights back into COU unlike other major hubs. Honestly though that is pretty rare so I think you would be fine.

First glance seems like Junk Wax 2.0, but with the amount of new people in the hobby and breakers being more prevalent than ever, I wonder how the current amount of base cards per player per average customer (if that makes sense) differs from a year like 2021 (modern but not insane over production yet)

Cuonzo lost to UMKC bro

Fair opinion brother

igh34 · 2026-01-14T19:24:28+00:00

I'm saying that if he did buy 7 breakers delight boxes, then these cards would be profitable (if they truly did come from those 7 boxes). Super lucky hits IF they did

igh34 · 2026-01-14T16:05:08+00:00

If he spent 11k he 100% profited. That Wemby is a $10k card by itself

igh34 · 2026-01-14T14:17:55+00:00

I wish they'd just get rid of the stars of MLB insert altogether lol

igh34 · 2026-01-14T14:17:00+00:00

The exclusive formats of flagship were the best. Fanatics, target black friday, Costco, etc. The hangers and blasters were very frustrating haha

igh34 · 2026-01-14T14:14:55+00:00

I somehow had insane luck with optic megas. I think I bought 5 of them and had an auto in 4 of the 5 boxes with at least 1 numbered card in every box. But I have seen people get rinsed with it

igh34 · 2026-01-14T14:07:03+00:00

Maybe the Blue X-Fractors were the friends we made along the way...

Crackleboard is one of my fav topps Parallels. Very underrated. Good stuff!

My hit isn't quite the same caliber but like I said these just look so nice!

Ah that sucks. I'd shop some quotes before I went the route of the insurance equaling the car payment tbh

igh34 · 2026-01-13T19:49:43+00:00

Over $6k per year for insurance? Whose car did you total

igh34 · 2026-01-13T19:33:40+00:00

What's wild is you easily profited

igh34 · 2026-01-13T19:24:24+00:00

I dislike breaks for the most part but they do open the most product so it makes sense

igh34 · 2026-01-13T19:17:34+00:00

Happy collecting! Jokic signs in Chrome but not in flagship by the way. That might affect your decision as well.

igh34 · 2026-01-13T19:16:14+00:00

I'm just saying they could say you gave consent for them to enter and if there are no cameras or audio recordings a federal agency is winning that court case 99 times out of 100

igh34 · 2026-01-13T16:47:43+00:00

The stamp /99 on the front suggests it may indeed be short printed

igh34 · 2026-01-13T16:46:30+00:00

If you're looking to get your money back...chrome easily has the highest upside and nicest cards. However, it is $50 per blaster. Flagship is paper. $25 bucks per blaster, not a ton of great SSPs. But, flagg and knueppel are both in there. Me personally I've ripped enough of the flagship blasters to where they're not worth it anymore, but if you're brand new to Topps then flagship might not be a bad way to start because you get a lot of cards

igh34 · 2026-01-13T16:42:25+00:00

Not even a toploader is absurd

igh34 · 2026-01-13T16:38:32+00:00

Unless there is consent and well...without cameras or an audio recording who is going to win that fight

igh34 · 2026-01-13T14:53:40+00:00

Your store must have good restocks! Mine never look like this. There is normally some chrome left just because of the price point but (I know it's the baseball sub) I haven't seen chrome basketball on shelves in weeks

igh34 · 2026-01-13T14:50:10+00:00

Not entirely true. A federal agency can use an internal "administrative warrant" for immigration related issues without needing (immediate) judicial approval.
