Did Fanatics Ruin Topps Finest?

people can like whatever they want. I will never own an unlicensed card without an on card auto.

I have that Toys R Us Bo Jackson rookie card that @baseballcardaddict almost mentioned lol

The finest changes seems like they are Beta testing the format concept for when they take over football.

400 for 60 cards lololol for a mid product smh fanatics is going all in on breakers only // to make the 300 card set you need to buy 5 boxes at 400(if no doubles ) 2k set lolol smfh they expect kids to get into this? way to 10x the hobby rubin smfh

More cards, more sales for Fanatics. More greed. Yay.

There is 1 box, no mini boxes.

cactus jack will be available only at Fanatics Fest

Topps should put a mini box inside a mini box that is then inside another mini box with 60 packs inside. Let the excitement build. lol.

It says the topps cactus jacks is cosmic chrome x cactus jack, will we still be getting normal cosmic?

You mean "The 3 Jackson's" right Phil? Merrill is the best Jackson, so no disrespect will be tolerated. :)

I was planning on picking up a box of finest based on last year’s price, but with the massive price increase, I’m out.

“Another pointless card?” If someone likes it and cherishes it, it’s not pointless. So what if it’s not “investment” material?

My dogs, lil negative today....why so serious? ( joker voice) let's count our blessings, good things 2 come, nobody cares about finest anymore anyway, it's almost as relative as bowmans best.....all good

Another set I'll never touch unless it happens to be in a subscription box. Which is also doubtful because I get cheap sub boxes. Not too long ago it was around 100 for a hobby box of Topps Finest. Again pre-COOF times.

I really don't get the parallels at all...seems like green refractors are /75 for common, /35 for uncommon and /25 for rare. It's so confusing. Ultimately that will decrease the collectabilty of the product.

There’s a crazy amount of over printing going on now. They’ve created a far bigger bubble than the wax era and when it pops a lot of modern collectors are going to lose their shirts.

When I hear the name Cactus Jack I don't think of Travis Scott. Bang, Bang!

I agree with Scott. Finest looks and feels like something straight out of Panini.

Unlicensed garbage.

We opened two last night. It was fun. Got nice autos. Yount gold auto, Holliday to 50 , and noice looking Ellys

Tier are great for set builders. It's just that the price per box is too expensive to actually chase and build sets.

They have oil spills and then numbered oil spills. I'm so happy I didn't buy cards anymore...it's just throwing money away opening packs.

Cactus Jack is the new lamer Aoki or Ben Baller garbage

finest is copying prizm baseball. Prizm baseball literally says tier 1 11 111 on the back

Agree on TF - watered down (check list 3x) and too costly.

The product is overpriced and the cards don’t look good once again can’t Fans/Topps be creative.

I will pass. Price isn't worth it. Maybe I will buy singles that I find attractive.

Those Messi Cards look amazing, Aint gonna lie!

Travis Scott killed a bunch of people at his concert? Seriously, this was an irresponsible take. I imagine he's probably not a big fan of yours either "T-Pott".

Nothing is off limits, even Caldor came up hahaha love it!

Fanatics has absolutely ruined the hobby for collectors. For gamblers, breakers and sneaker bois, Fanatics has been great. I bought a case of 2024 Topps Chrome to rip. I pulled some great cards but lost $2000. I'm done buying boxes/cases and will now just focus on my two PC players. Oh well. We all have to adjust.

My two cents is that I absolutely love products that do the tier system RIGHT. court kings does it right. 1. You need to have each tier be very unique and easily identified, especially at first glance before learning the set. 2. Each tier can’t have every parallel they should only be on the rare tier or have it so the most common parallels go with the common and the most rare parallels go with the rare.

After seeing the product Topps failed miserably at both of these. The tiers all look identical and they all have the same 900 parallels. So this product is a major swing and a miss however it has the potential to be awesome.

Again I love Court Kings for my basketball PC and to stick with panini examples i despise Select more than any product ever made (only a slight hyperbole)

T pot showing no issues with fanatics anything. Pretty apparent he has to be careful with the cards hq partnership with fanatics

Nope cactus jack has been and will always be Mick Foley

So they can make a million more boxes its a rort

The K-Mart card set comp was Spot On!

Super fun product for breakers - tough rip as a single box for collectors.

Hate the Finest design this year. Couldnt afford it as a kid, still cant now. Passing

Fanatics has a new slogan: May the odds never be in your favor!! : ( Hunger games!

The guy Topps collaborated with is a devil worshiper. Topps knows that. What are they thinking. Has everyone sold their soul?

Oil spill refractor😂😂😂…How about an acne refractor or an AIDS refractor…euthanasia refractor? WW3 refractor. I need to apply I got a thousand of these gems.

TOPPS SELECT BEST

As a collector i would say without hesitation, hell yes to all of topps products! ,They are just another greedy company that has come into a buisness where they don't belong.Shame on topps for letting the transaction to take place!

The cactus 🌵 jack cards already the most valuable cards at the funatics Nycc show you guys are way off his shoes alone resell for 1,500 and retail at 220 maybe 🤔 try doing some product knowledge before making a video about it

I don't collect it at all, but man those Dynasty soccer cards are incredible looking

“They are copying Select”that’s exactly it 😂

T-Pot almost single handedly started the Dynasty craze earlier this year. And it hasn’t slowed down

Personally I think cards will IMPROVE under Fanatics ownership.
Btw for Finest they should have SPs parallels w/the plastic protective covering that they had when we were kids ala ‘95 Finest.
I wonder what the gimmick in ‘25 Flagship Series 1 will be? Freddie Freeman SPs - one for every record-setting World Series HR? That would stretch across multiple seasons/teams!

Minor Correction: Jackson Merrill is not included in the “Uncommon” checklist. Just Common and Rare.

Also, no Mini Boxes this year. 6 packs with 10 cards each.
