You want to 10x the hobby???? Make hobby wax more affordable. I can’t for the life of me what idiots are paying $800-$1000 plus for a box of Football cards. I’m a long time collector with disposable income but not a sucker. It can’t be affordable for only breakers.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous these prices , in 2005 I would buy a whole case of playoff contenders when it was actually good back then and it would cost like 1800 but for the whole case.
Oh ....GEOOOOOFFFF WILL tell you anything the way the wind blows. You believe this con-man Grifter?! He collects Tom Tebow .....shouldn't that yell you everything you need to know? He is bought by TOPPS with his "Influencer" card. Read between the lines. He is merely a voice box of Topps using him as a tool.
This whole video is effectively an ad. It should be tagged as such. They’ve taken you to their hq, and likely paid you for a video. It’s entirely biased content.
@@xdabeast6002 didn’t say bad or wrong. But the information you speak of isn’t impartial. And if it’s not impartial then it’s not accurate. Now no one is entirely impartial on almost anything, but this content was made in a way that made it so overtly obvious that it had been paid for; any curtain of faux neutrality was whisked away in less than 60 seconds. So wrong? No. Ad? Yes.
@@SportsCardInvestor😂😂😂translation-"im a paid shill" Glad so many viewers are calling you out on your bs. Guess your gonna start promoting leaf and sportkings too, right?
This will kill over 50% of the small shops. Theres not enough revenue and people flow to force a shop to keep adding junk products that Topps has overproduced. (True end goal for Topps). This will be great for breakers though
The hobby shop bad experience is because people go in to get cards and realize the card packs/boxes are so high they can't afford then I don't go in to just see how clean the shop is
Leaf has had crazy combo autos with curry/durant/etc/etc for a while on high quality cards. They’ve had all game used memorabilia cards of crazy players. The only knock has always been no license. But Topps gets a pass? I get wemby, Lebron, Levis, and stroud who are exclusive. But I don’t see why this is getting so much excitement when people have been trash talking leaf forever.
Signatures, just signatures without pictures, are worth money if they are the right names. And no, i'm not talking, just sports stars. I'm talking musicians. Presidents, foreign ambassadors, actors, the list goes on.
Card shop 2.0 means raising prices for everyone. This entire industry is in a massive money grab. That's it. They don't care about the everyday collector.
Smart thing to do would probably be granting licenses to a limited number of companies (maybe around 5-6) and then limiting the number of cards (of a player) produced in a year
We can say they are doing better however they sent my 2022 Topps heritage J-Rod red ink auto to the wrong address. Topps admitted they were in the wrong and 5 months later I’m still waiting for a resolution. I call every two weeks and get the run around.
My local card shop is trash. Fanfare in Kalamazoo MI. No negotiating and way over priced. Tried to sell me a raw 88 jordan for $200 and it was way off center. Shops like this kill it for me
I don't understand how a 2023 product can be released at the end of 2024. It's getting ridiculous! Why don't they just release a 1951 set with mantle rookie cards?
Redemptions are terrible. Autos change over the years, and can be noticeably different year to year. This will affect values. Not to mention the possibilities of death, injury, or other circumstances to affect the athletes ability to fulfill the autograph.
Topps has been known to over produce and flood the market.. down grading the hobby.. I think, unless they can limit topps production, this is a mistake.
While I get the desire of fanatics to be professional or whatever, i do hate the barrier to entry this creates and following from that the inevitable markup that needs to add. Feels like while theyre doing it for collectors, theyll be hurting actual collectors. Whats the number one gripe of people these days? wax prices and here they are pushing it higher. They can ease my concerns by offering wax direct at a cost price + x% type thing. I dont want to pay for your fancy stores, I want to be able to rip and collect
I have 2 different card shops near my house. One tries to sell $70 more on hobby boxes than normal. The other one is normally spot on. Crazy to me. I have never bought a single card from a card shop because they are like $60 over what the should be. That's why I was hoping to have cards HQ in AZ
Is there any talk of a 2024 Topps Bob Ross set? That was a huge W in 2023. If it is a stand alone it is even more valuable versus running it year after year.
Killing small market card shops...that's not good. Fanatics is looking to shrink the card ship market for their efficiency benefit. Don't sugar coat it.
Remember folks, you don't have to buy the overpriced modern trash cards. Plenty of cards from past years, especially prior to the Monopoly era, to buy. You don't have to piss away your money on this new crap from Fanatics, although so many are absolutely addicted to it.
Once I saw Panini dutch auctioning hobby boxes on their website for like $10k, I knew they were done. Hopefully Topps brings the heat and sports cards can get back to being worth buying
Not sure how contracts for autos work, but I feel like if a young guy gets HUGE, it's not worth his time to stop and sign a bunch of autos. Maybe they can make it a sliding scale. If 2 years later he hasn't signed, but the cards are worth TONS OF MONEY now, he should have to supplement that cost if he doesn't sign?? Some guys get so big, they would probably rather give back the $25,000 or whatever they would get paid to sign 1,000 autos on their day off.....
The fact they didn’t release any photos to the public of the new F1 sets is kind of a slap in the face to the dedicated die-hard fans that collect F1. It’s a small community as it is and just seems like a mistake not to share any pics. Apparently they showed off some pics at the conference but no one show them for some reason??? Meanwhile we got the stroud and victor photos.
I think it means that whoever wins the license bidding (which is Panini at the moment), they get to have the logo of the teams on the image of the card. In this case, since Panini has the license, Topps can’t use the NBA team logo on their products.
No way dual autos that’s gotta be a first time in history holy shit or is topps copying what leaf does with the dual autos which is smart but don’t act like no one else does this.
I’m not sure why many of you guys are saying this is “unlicensed”. Fanatics has the card rights for the NBA/NFL player associations in the next 2 years
Fanatics is making a mistake. Topps chrome is garbage. Even back then Topps chrome would have players in their combine gear. Absolute trash. The design sucks
@@johnwayne9828 not since a kid in 2002-2009 just came back a year ago. In this past year easily one of the most exciting times for me Topps chrome basketball is my favorite an what I remember as a kid. Thank you for sharing your opinion god bless!
The real question is why are 2023 panini products selling so high with no big RC autos? Not to mention that spectra, immaculate massive let downs this yr not even vets have player worn patches massive L, and box prices and break spots haven’t reflected the inferior product
I'm sure it's wonderful news to all the small, hometown shops out there that cases of cards have been/are GIVEN to them. Yes, we all need more WMarts around. Smh

Jeff you told us not to invest in unlicensed product...🤔
That's because they cant hold his allocation to his hobby store like Topps can. Either with us or against us.
It's the first NBA/NFL Topps products in like 10 years, let's simmer down
They will be licensed next year
@@MeRestoration But that doesn't help worth them being unlicensed this year.
Oh ....GEOOOOOFFFF WILL tell you anything the way the wind blows. You believe this con-man Grifter?!
He collects Tom Tebow .....shouldn't that yell you everything you need to know?
He is bought by TOPPS with his "Influencer" card. Read between the lines. He is merely a voice box of Topps using him as a tool.
I hope you start pumping Panini and Leaf unlicensed products in the future.
I always had fun with Panini Prizm Baseball
Cant do the unlicensed. Feels fake/cheap
Facts the esthetic is just not exciting cards with the backs of your players lol
Feels illegal
Topps will have the license next year
But but but it’s unlicensed, I thought we weren’t supposed to like unlicensed cards 🤣🤣
He getting paid this whole vid a ad
What do you expect from old mate Joffrey Willstrom swings like the wind.
I'm really looking forward to this. Haven't seen Topps chrome basketball since 2010 it feels like.
It’s like he is being paid by topps
Not a fan of unlicensed sport cards & the RC logo has to go.
Rc logo needs to stay. That’s how you know it’s a rc
@@hotjoe817 Talking about the design looks awful

Didn't take long for Fanatics to go after the giant unlicensed cash grab. This will be the beginning of the end. Junk wax era 2.0. Buckle up.
What are they saying at you have to do what they want?
So what's the difference now from Topps and leaf!?!? I'd see bowman u as more valuable. Then unlicensed product.
The main difference is influencer are pumping Topps/Fanatics products and dumping on leaf to ensure they stay in the big boys good graces.
Exactly Bowman U especially for football is underrated massively such a good product
I thought you were against unlicensed cards???
Generally I don’t love them, but since Topps has all the top exclusive autographs in these products, they will do really well.
And because Topps probably sponsors some things or you get some benefits from Topps 😉 If that’s the case just say so we don’t care.
@@SportsCardInvestor😂😂😂translation-"im a paid shill"
Glad so many viewers are calling you out on your bs.
Guess your gonna start promoting leaf and sportkings too, right?
Fanatics SIMPING ain’t easy but it sure is fun.
The card market has gotten so watered down how does anyone buy new products. The prices are crazy
This will kill over 50% of the small shops. Theres not enough revenue and people flow to force a shop to keep adding junk products that Topps has overproduced. (True end goal for Topps). This will be great for breakers though
The hobby shop bad experience is because people go in to get cards and realize the card packs/boxes are so high they can't afford then I don't go in to just see how clean the shop is
Facts. The only reason to go to a shop is to open product. I want singles, I go to ebay.
Leaf has had crazy combo autos with curry/durant/etc/etc for a while on high quality cards. They’ve had all game used memorabilia cards of crazy players. The only knock has always been no license. But Topps gets a pass? I get wemby, Lebron, Levis, and stroud who are exclusive. But I don’t see why this is getting so much excitement when people have been trash talking leaf forever.
Because all these pump and dump influencers are paid shills.
i hate unlicensed products
I do too but I'll mess wit topps if they got crazy autos
Signatures, just signatures without pictures, are worth money if they are the right names. And no, i'm not talking, just sports stars. I'm talking musicians. Presidents, foreign ambassadors, actors, the list goes on.
Base cards will be almost worthless unless you pull an auto. Not having the names on the uniforms hurts the product
Didn’t stop Panini baseball from doing big numbers, and Topps is a much better manufacturer
Also, that’s a temporary situation.
basically fanatics doesn't care about the actual hobby of collecting cards , they only care about how much money they can make
Right Tpot said it... They will Give Product to Whoever they Choose... and give them whatever they Choose... Makes me Want to Do the EXACT OPPOSITE 💯
Sounds like the end of Ye Old Card shop
Card shop 2.0 means raising prices for everyone. This entire industry is in a massive money grab. That's it. They don't care about the everyday collector.
Geoff jerked of Rubin and priomised to pump his unlicensed cards.

You are basically trying to sell us a leaf product with a topps sticker on it.
Love Topps football thank God it's back
Why is Carter staring at the camera like that during Geoff’s intro 😂😂😂 that boy cheesing
The bottom scroll of hot cards distract from the video and without a visual of the actual card it’s useless for the video. 😢
Not a fan of unlicensed cards so I won’t be buying the product until the licensing kicks in.
Topps has been known to over produce and flood the market.. down grading the hobby.. I think, unless they can limit topps production, this is a mistake.
We need another hockey brand, too, please other than UD. Competition is a very good thing for sports cad collecting.
Upper Deck is a really good card company compared to fools like Fanatics and Poonini
When did collecting sports cards get monopolies

I been waiting years for Topps football again in football.
💯 agree lfg
@jaredsandoval1941 I wish it was licensed but if they turn thier helmets sideways it won't look bad
@@zachc3246 especially If the league ends up having to wear the stupid halo helmets shape like bee hives
Didnt fanatics get the licensing. Idk i like paninis football cards prizm select mosaic wtc are all nice
Curry is with panini aint he
The Modern Junk Wax Era has been going on since Covid.. Stop paying the high prices on wax.. Over produced
Never trust a grown man that uses “super” to describe everything.
😂😂😂I didnt even need to hear him speak, his cringey ass thumbnails said it all.
Unlicensed products have no long term value
But you don't like non licensed cards?
😂😂😂he likes that money from topps to shill.
No license is key word trash
Composite football sounds like Chronicles…which is a fun product.
Right?...Right?......Right?...Right?...Right?......Right?.Right?...Right?......Right?.
How can they guarantee 100% redemptions get redeemed years down the road? It sounds great but isn't guaranteed
Also ive got so much mint Pogs from sports to cartoon cola
Lower the Prices so lower to middle class can afford it
What it means for collectors is that they will waste their money on more modern crap!

I dont Care if it 10xs cuz im already STACKED UP SO LET IT 10X... 🤪 AND ILL KEEP MY CARDS THE WAY I WANT THEM NOT HOW SOME CEO OF TOPPS WANTS ME TO.
I live in Houston, Texas and there is only 1 card shop in the entire city. Someone please open another one nearby!!
It may be unlicensed but its the only spot youre getting a wemby auto

😂 I definitely don’t think he hates Topps! But baseball isn’t his favorite.
Doug's the man but he acts like my wife when it comes to topps
Instead we have ole boy who says “Right?” after every sentence. Doug was missed
Score cards? Topps and panini already screwing normal folks now our local hobby stores gonna screw them too.
Not a fan of them doing this with topps chrome. Im sure it cheapens future releases. Topps paper would have been better
bring back SP Authentic

LOVE LOVE LOVE Topps! 👍🇺🇸
Too bad average collectors probably wont be able to afford it since Topps is all about the breakers now and hiw much money they can bank
I hate redemptions!! They made less?? Due away with redemption please!! 😂
Hey guys, I’m trying to understand what it means by unlicensed? How does that work?
I think it means that whoever wins the license bidding (which is Panini at the moment), they get to have the logo of the teams on the image of the card. In this case, since Panini has the license, Topps can’t use the NBA team logo on their products.
Right? No left
Unlicensed? No thank you

😂😂😂dual autos been a thing since the early 90s when score had a musial/mantle autos.
Lol. "Rough experience" at a hobby shop. How about the experience of people getting skunked in $100 breaks... This is all laughable at this point.
Hello, I am new to this. I am a collector, but I feel that I don't have a chance to make, money feel they already monopoly, the cards
If your concern is making money, you arent a collector.
I have redemptions from

Not a fan, feels like black market cards
I’m not sure why many of you guys are saying this is “unlicensed”. Fanatics has the card rights for the NBA/NFL player associations in the next 2 years
