Where my comment about how to save paying the upcharge...I came back to see if anyone engaged with my helpful advice but I can't seem to find it anywhere....
I believe ya I even gave ya a like and subscribed as an act of good faith...thanks for the info...my kids both wanted a "guarantee auto box" but I didn't really wanna get knockout or midnight x2...so this set is solid for that...I like how the checklist seems to stay with known fighters, I got them each a "Striking signatures" box and we just didn't see anything worth getting excited about...at least this set has a fairly respectable list
@@goble_ufc_cards What metrics are you using to calculate overprinting compared to previous products? This is something I’ve been wanting to figure out. Thanks so much guys, appreciate y’all’s support from the beginning 🫡
@boxalarmtrading ... it's takes a bit of time to figure out the exact number of cases, haven't had the time to put into it. BUT... everyone compares this to Panini Donruss and based upon the checklist and the numbering, adding watching a case break... Topps has produced a set with 3X-4X the number of cases as Donruss. This is a HUGE release... shame on Topps in a struggling singles market.
Select would be a more proper comparison based on the 300 base set In my opinion. But the cards do feel more similar to chronicles or Donruss. If you ever do figure out an equation to get a good estimate(Panini era and Topps) please let me know as that’s something that I think is missing but is important.
Great video, Z. I personally appreciate your contributions to the UFC card hobby. I don't collect anything else. At first glance, I was going to pass on this product and wait for Topps Finest.... but your video has convinced me to take a risk and grab a few boxes just for the experience. Gračias amigo.
Thanks for the support man I appreciate that and I’m glad you’re getting some value from the vids! It’s a risky endeavor but the price point is pretty decent. Hope you have fun and get some bangers 🤙
I pre-ordered one but the dang post office is on strike in Canada. 129.99 American turns out to be 296.00$ Canadian after shipping plus 66.00 duty tax. Anything here is such a stupid price. Thanks for bringing the inside scoop bud. You're my go to! Not excited about a Kayla auto but they look awesome. I want that MVP RC ! Gold splatter 🔥 Thanks for sharing. Have a good week!
Dude this is INSANE! Hope the postal workers get it figured out, I know their wages are pretty low here as well so something maybe we could also see in the future.
great vid. love when u break down the odds on hits. i wasnt excited for this release...but kinda itching to do a break and this is low cost. question- would you do this or knockout based on price point and odds of hits
Glad you're getting something from the odds breakdown I know it helps put things in perspective for me! Hmmm tough question here, design and visual preference aside I think the best way to put it would be Knockout has a lower floor because of the entry price, but a higher ceiling because of the on-card potential hits. Gold Label has a higher floor because of entry price and potential value recoup but a lower ceiling because of stickers and lower quality card-stock. 🤷hopefully that can help your decision.
Congrats on the well earned 1K! I picked up one box to rip for a video. Was debating about grabbing a second since it’s a lower pricepoint, but the designs and checklist both aren’t super appealing to me. I like SSPs but don’t feel that there needs to be more than one or two per set.
@@AlbinoManateeNation Nice, good luck on the rip, I’m happy the prices are continuing to fall. If this was $125.99 pre-order from the big distributors that would be solid. Haven’t thought too long or hard on the ideal amount for me but I think two would be a sweet spot, we’ll see how this product feels with 3.
hmm thanks for the preview. I'm not sure how I feel about the design. I like the price, which is definitely needed; UFC card boxes need to be a lot cheaper than other sports to help grow the collector community, especially when even low-numbered cards will go for $15-20. I think I'll just get one of these. I'm not too crazy about it based on what I've seen, which is a shame because it's a decent price!
Shara Magomedov has his first auto in Topps now on his last print run from October 26th as a random insert when you bought the base card...they made 41 of them all /25 or less . Will be interesting to see which one gets labelled his first auto since that one was already sold.
Ya the early up charge for presale seems to be a theme but I know with my luck I wouldn’t be able to get one if they sell out. 12 box’s is crazy good luck!
@ yeah I like Harrison being on the checklist A LOT. I just bought her “sports illustrated for kids” amateur judo card (she was 14 at time of photo. Sells for, like, $5!). Can’t get a “truer rookie” than that! You seen those cards? They came in magazine-page-sized perforated sheets. Oh…I COMPLETELY agree with your panini vs topps take. 2023 was so. much. more. fun (particularly with nickel and pereira in most releases) than this year
technically SSP has not gone anywhere...the technical definition of an SP is /99 or less (nothing else higher is considered SP) and SSP is /49 or lower. Simple enough. The terms has been thrown around VERY loosely on eBay and moprhed into some crazy high print runs. Those are the OG (and ones I still use) definitions for them.
You can cling to whatever semantic argument you want if the manufacturer is calling them SSP’s then that’s what they are🤷♂️. But agreed with SP, SSP, case hit all meaning some form of the same thing it can get confusing. Which is why Im glad they at least have the odds sheet now.
I am gonna say this carefully. The price is spot on for Topps Gold Label. Even if you get it at $150. It's worth it. $125ish is the right number though.
@@The047SportsTCGCards Agreed. $125 is the cheapest UFC Hobby we’ve ever seen! Seems right about for where you’ve been wanting the price this year. Hoping the product looks good in person and this price is a sign for next years releases (I would expect Finest and Royalty to be much more pricey 😅)
Hard pass on this set for me, I will wait until they are going for 80-90 a box...wont take long. Feels like a Donruss set but less pretty. Harrison already has a rookie card back in 2012 Topps.. I would rather have that one. All sticker autos paper stock, nah im good. I will wait until the price drops, grab a few boxes and throw them in the closet and never look at them again for 20 years LOL>
For Harrison are you talking about her Judo card? That’s a cool one but I would imagine her first licensed UFC Rookie card will be the one people will want long term (Especially if she becomes champ). Has any hobby in recent memory hit $80? That seems unlikely but would be good value if it does!
Awesome checklist rundown, thanks for the shout out! Looking forward to ripping a couple boxes! 💪🏽👊🏽

@ I think it’s a great product for the little ones as the buy in price is fairly low. Good choice, and hope you guys hit the cards you want!
Need to secure one of these! 😬 Love the SPP odds comparisons with other inserts we’re familiar with. Congrats on 1K brother! 🔥🔥🔥
@@ufc_card_fiend Hopefully you can get in on the Topps drop. $125.99 is awesome!
@ yes really gonna try for that! Already signed up for the notification 🤞🏼 did you preorder?
They overprinted. Huge number of cases. Extremely watered down. And makes the case hits far much less rare than people think.
Congratulations on 1k!

Great addition, I forgot about this one! Agreed only time will tell on what the people want.
Sold out online in 3 days
I'm excited getting 12 boxes, the only thing I hate is how late they announce upcoming releases & the price gouging on all the retailers.
Ya the early up charge for presale seems to be a theme but I know with my luck I wouldn’t be able to get one if they sell out. 12 box’s is crazy good luck!
We need DooHo Choi to be a rookie in 2025, just putting that out there 😂
He looked great against Nate the train!
I was legitimately hoping Payton Talbott would make a release
@@modofatak Ya they may be keeping him for 2025 at this point! But happy we got Harrison and MVP in this one.

Absolutely no way they sell for $80. Like never. Have you seen what other sports charge for hobby boxes?!
