I hope this means we will see better accessibility to cards, the Upper Deck cards look amazing but we NEVER have them in stock in this country and if we do import them they are ridiculously expensive and out of reach for many fans let alone kids.
I love this. It's going to be hard to get a hold of these cards. I bought some Marvel Chrome and they were crazy expensive. BEAUTIFUL cards, though. They are very very good quality, the artwork is amazing and the cards are quite valuable. Im glad to hear they are having a release here in the US.
@EmmanuelYesudasanwae Yeah they have... I had an Human Torch parallel card of daredevil, numbered 38/39, and when I initially pulled it, thought I could sell it for at least $200 because of the trend of sales on eBay and other platforms but held onto it for a bit... When I went to sell it on eBay, it sold for $50... I was shocked by that.
Only if they start over printing. Then boxes will be cheaper but then people will be mad they can’t sell their over printed cards. Finding the balance has been difficult for these companies. I just think they should really focus on making retail packs widely available for the budget sensitive collector and make the hobby boxes special for the adult hobbyist collector and risk taker. The over printing and over charging for hobby boxes and not making retail boxes available is terrible
Well, I hope they don't let us down.. UD was at a level with it they understood the Marvel card collector and know exactly what we want to see in and on our cards, if they want our money.. I'm sure the folks at Topps think Marvel card collectors will collect anything with a Marvel character on it, and that it doesnt matter the how, when or by who the image was created by, and just that so long as an image of Spidey is on it we'll buy it.. The latest Topps chrome says it all, pretend auto's?.. Upper Deck would never...
👋 Justin How long is this license agreement for? In 5 or 10 or 15 years, could we see the license change hands again? If you get to speak with or interview a product biggie from Topps, please ask them to be VERY specific in terms of the type of product they have goals to produce. Will they be producing the type of high end premium cards that we saw with UD? What about sets that includes even higher premium cards than anything UD ever produced? After all, we should never be satisfied with stagnation of technology in this space. So thinking outside the box, like what about ultra high relief , super premium "sculpted relief" cards....... think alto relievo or bas relievo done by hand or with 3D printing with special resins and then hand painted. We need outside the box thinking and ultra premium chase card types never before seen (or at least not by a relative newbie like me).
If it’s anything like the UK cards , I’m done with marvel cards. I think the TOPPS UK cards are horrible and so plain and basic. I’m a marvel fan but I’m holding off and really excited about the DC upper deck metal releases! Topps better really step up there Marvel product or they will loose big time! They have the holy grail of marvel in their hands right now hopefully they don’t scree it up like these UK cards!
I hope you know they had like 3 months from info they are getting the license, till official announcement and release. Give them some time and I'm pretty sure they will surpass your expectations 🎉 UD had license for last 13 years and I bet early products were similar to Topps Chrome.
Pretty bummed out to hear this. I just got back into collecting after about 25 years and I've really been enjoying the Masterpieces and Fleer Ultra releases. Gorgeous art and the card designs are really well done. I've yet to see any Topps set that has the appeal that any of those do. I agree with a previous commenter that the design of the new Chrome set is very basic. Also being a sports fan, I don't really have much faith in anything that has to do with Fanatics. They charge premium prices for subpar products and their customer service is bottom of the barrel. If upper deck continues the work that they're doing with Marvel on the DC license and we get some DC masterpieces that could totally rock. Of course I hope that I'm completely wrong but my hopes aren't high 🤞
I wonder if it’s even possible for them to continue some of the past UD sets in some way…? What about pmgs? Is that it for those?! It’s a lot of unknowns I guess!
I collected sports cards in 90s when multiple brands competed with each other...its no wonder why the creativity and design was far superior then compared to what has been produced when there is little to no competition...i scratched my head for a long time when i got back in the hobby during pandemic n saw the panini sports card designs that were the most sought after. I have stuff from mid 90s that you'd think is from 50 years in the future compared to that s***
It was not out for sell. This product was only available through the raffle. I tried on my and my wife account just to get 2 boxes (maximum per entry) and we were not selected. I hope next time we'll get more luck 💪
If they can release sets of quality original art that don’t go for $1000 a hobby box then I’m for it. I just don’t associate Topps with anything other that sports cards
Why??? These cards are freaking gorgeous, and they are extremely high quality. I've bought several packs/boxes. The artwork is also incredible. You're missing out.
Too many Topps products rely on numbered rainbow parallels to drive demand which I think is incredible boring. Losing sets like masterpieces, metal, and flair may just put me off collecting any further. I don't think UD will sell those properties.
Happy to see Topps getting license. UD was limited to US all world was just looking at these decent products getting Panini kid products. Now Topps need to hire proper people (probably from UD), start making money and deliver awesome products wordwide... yes, worldwide so everyone can enjoy gorgeous Marvel cards. Like it or not but this train will departure even without you. Let the whole world enjoy our hobby.
I really hope this doesn’t tank the sketch card artists creativity like they did for Star Wars
I don't think I've heard you mention it yet, but don't forget, there's supposed to be a Magic: The Gathering Marvel set release in 2025, as well.
I hope this means we will see better accessibility to cards, the Upper Deck cards look amazing but we NEVER have them in stock in this country and if we do import them they are ridiculously expensive and out of reach for many fans let alone kids.
What are your impressions of 2024 Topps Chrome? No doubt will miss all the Marvel Metals and Masterpieces!
Not a major fan of what I’ve seen so far but we are opening a case tonight at 11:15 cst on the channel. I’ll get a closer look then
I love this. It's going to be hard to get a hold of these cards.

@@Fadingmypictures how's the value holding up some people have said some of the numbered parallels have fallen?
@EmmanuelYesudasanwae Yeah they have...

I want Topps to provide a similar service of Epacks easy trade and storage
If they bring down the INSANE prices for boxes / cases, I’ll be happy. But I HIGHLY doubt that’ll actually happen. Probably charge even more. 😢
Only if they start over printing. Then boxes will be cheaper but then people will be mad they can’t sell their over printed cards. Finding the balance has been difficult for these companies.

So, Topps is going to be the EXCLUSIVE licensee for Marvel?
This will make the old UD stuff more valuable now :)
Fully agree.

You meant to say Fanatics
Fanatics owns Topps and they are producing Marvel Cards via Topps per their announcement
Fanatics will ruin this like they are ruining sports cards...gonna be rough.
At long last we, here in Europe, will have all the marvel cards! No more paying expensive shipping and import taxes! 🥲🫡😁

same.
Hey mate, your discord link isn't working, do you still have one?
Message me on instagram and I’ll share there
I wonder if it’s even possible for them to continue some of the past UD sets in some way…? What about pmgs? Is that it for those?! It’s a lot of unknowns I guess!
why wouldnt topps continue the marvel masterpiece cards? was that not part of the license?
Star Wars finest is a very good product so hopefully they do Marvel the same

I missed out on the Topps chrome marvel in the UK as it sold out but not original art
It was not out for sell. This product was only available through the raffle. I tried on my and my wife account just to get 2 boxes (maximum per entry) and we were not selected. I hope next time we'll get more luck 💪
we all knew this was coming, but this is terrible news tbh.
So is this an exclusive license, or will they be making cards along with upper deck?
I'm happy to hear that, Topps will take Marvel to the next level.
thanks Justin!
Wow, can't wait to see what comes of it!
This is big big news
I'm hopeful that the Marvel equivalent of Star Wars Galaxy cards are gonna look good
People are already opening Topps chrome marvel
The beginning of the end. 💀
Topps cards are no match to Upper Deck
X-men '97 set ...there goes all my money. LOL
Aww yea. time for a 1st Bowman James Howlett Adamantium Refractor.
Topps makes terrible cards.
If they can release sets of quality original art that don’t go for $1000 a hobby box then I’m for it. I just don’t associate Topps with anything other that sports cards
They have been making Garbage Pail Kids and Star Wars cards since the 80’s
I will not be buying any of the Topps Marvel ever.
Why??? These cards are freaking gorgeous, and they are extremely high quality. I've bought several packs/boxes. The artwork is also incredible. You're missing out.

Global distribution is important
