If Topps must release unlicensed stuff, don't just photo shop the name off the jersey. Be selective with the photos, use headshots, use images to hide the logos, there seems to be a lack of effort and makes it seem like a major money grab until they jack the prices up when they have the license.
Seems there’s pretty good return on these. Looks like unlicensed can bring better value. On average. The return can be better on unlicensed products but vary hard to do really well. For example. I only rip baseball. Mostly Topps but every time I open a panini baseball release, the return is better.
Quick story: I was 9 years old, went to a shop that made hockey skates and jerseys and sold equipment, and they happened to sell hockey cards. Saw 95-96 Topps Finest hockey, and it absolutely blew my mind. It was the first sports cards I ever had in my life! I always hated that they removed Finest for Chrome simply because the chrome designs were vanilla/boring back then compared to Finest. So seeing Finest still exist today, even if it doesnt hit the same, it brings a smile to my face and I'll always rip Finest, even if I get nothing great the cards usually look amazing!
What so many people don't seem to get is that if you want guaranteed autographs then the product has to be printed in lower quantity or the autograph checklist has to be expanded dramatically. Lower quantity is unlikely, so that means an expanded checklist which means even though you're getting guaranteed autographs they're probably junk.
I breath around food and gain wait to lol thanks for the video cant wait to see what you pull. That was a nice brunson auto you pulled. I think breakers is the way to go also.
Can we get "Bring Back the Bicep!" trending? Get rid of the air brushed undershirts! Great video RGL! Thanks for keeping up updated on these products~!
Good video and you're not "fat & ugly" you're goodlooking and just pleasantly plumped, we're Americans, we're all pleasantly plumped... Best wishes to you and your little family my dear brother...🙏
If anything it just makes me appreciate how good Leaf is at making unlicensed cards. Also, the rookie 'shield' on topps basketball cards is so ugly that I simply can't look past it. Not excited for topps basketball at all. 🙃
"Saved by the Bell the old tv show" - that is what the design reminds me of. I don't like it... however I couldn't care less about it being licensed or unlicensed. Either are good.
Now I’m all for some self deprecating humor and my boy you are a large fella but you are by no means ugly. You’re a handsome guy with a friendly smile. Real talk!
The digital manipulation for football at least looks passable. What they do to basketball unis is noticeably more... well the only word that comes to mind is disastrous.
I won’t be buying boxes of these. I’ll grab a pc player auto or something but the debut insert is weak looking and so are the others. I grabbed some chrome and cosmic trying to play the unlicensed game..just doesn’t feel the same.
While I love watching the sport, nba cards has been my least favorite by far of any sport Appreciate you demonstrating the products as I am stoked knowing I’ll be happy to never spend a dollar on that shit. lol only people dumber than the ones buying this product are the ones who bet against Mahomes yesterday ;)
I have thrown away every last lebron card ive ever pulled. From base sets to rares and even 1 autograph. That's how much i despise him and his racist flooping crying bull.
Topps is beta testing. These are almost like a preview. Getting ready to hit the ground running once they get the license. The t-shirts might be because they don't have the rights to use any good nba photos of the players and might be using college photos. A lot of players wore t-shirts in college.
What you need to know is these cards are hideous, if you're not licensed then pick better pictures not ones where it looks like they are wearing them old reversible elementary school jerseys, topps is so bad they are gonna RUIN the wwe product
All I needed to see was the first card (Jokic in an all blue jersey with a 15 on it) and I'm like nah, I'm out
it makes it look and feel so awful, I Want to like it but cant until it has logos
That intro was diabolical 🤣
New game - take a shot everytime RGL says "Perfectly fine unlicensed card"

Love yourself 1st! You are a awesome dude, this product for me is not one I want to invest in.
RGL is the most honest real person on TH-cam!
Nah…. George Carlin is by a long shot😂
Those true red are gonna be sick once they get the liscence, and transcendent football gonna be cool too, this new configuration
Packman breathes around a Topps product and gains 5 Wemby gold autos!
Yeah I could open 20 boxes, and hit absolute shit 😢
You win some you lose some but keep trying!!!🎉 Great video RGL!!!🎉
you are def not ugly brother!!! you are the man , have a great day champ
Don’t lie to him
@@SupremeReviews1 shut up bro
@ bro mad
I have the same complaint with this as I did with chrome. If you are going to photoshop the logos out hit the sharpen slider while you are at it.
I'm one of those new subs. Loving the content man. Actually got me back into the hobby a bit. Looking forward to the new WWE this Friday.

the unlicensed stuff looks like they went down to the local rec league and just snapped some shots of random guys

Has anyone seen any Lebron autos yet?
I breath around food and gain wait to lol thanks for the video cant wait to see what you pull. That was a nice brunson auto you pulled. I think breakers is the way to go also.
As a Celtics fan id like that jrue holiday auto. Not that it was a big auto but yea sweet for my PC

Holy crap, goated intro
Bought this after watching your video the other day, hit a wembanyama autograph 17 of 25..
Congrats!!
Love that Larry Johnson
Topps did a great job with Football, almost to the point you didn’t know it was unlicensed, seems like basketball didn’t get the same attention.

Maybe they are picture from practice that's why they have the shirts??? I'm not sure, Mr. James
Cool cards. I'll wait til they have the license. Maybe...
The photos in these are rough
You’re a beautiful human RGL, and we love you❤❤❤
Thanks for helping me to decide whether to buy these or not….my decision…..NOT !! 😂❤ Thx RGL. Good video.
Looking good RGL, despite what you said in the intro. 🤘
Now I’m all for some self deprecating humor and my boy you are a large fella but you are by no means ugly. You’re a handsome guy with a friendly smile. Real talk!
Your not ugly bro 💪
Dont be down on yourself brotha! You're a beautiful man
Topps is pumpin out the same cards with a diffrent name. Chrome, Cosmic, Finest, Finessed.
Happy I passed this is still available lol
Interesting intro 🤣🤣🤣
We in it for the autos nothing else some of the base cards are blah
The call RGL, “Honest Abe”
Professional TH-camr Action 3:01 !!
Just a few card images look good with no logo. Hard for me to feel it tho! RGL makes everything worth a look tho. You’re the man!! 🫡
That Jrue Holliday card was horrendous 💀💀
5:31 what a terrible picture of Booker to put on a card
I can't hit good basketball cards! Says the guy who has pulled alot of sick wemby cards😂 you have better
Luck than most of us average joes.
The digital manipulation for football at least looks passable. What they do to basketball unis is noticeably more... well the only word that comes to mind is disastrous.
How come Panini can't use current players on there unlicensed cards but Topps can?
Different licensing rules.
Better save your money folks. You know , for stuff like EGGS❤😂
Good luck get a wemby auto
not liking the sound of self disrespect rgl even if it is played for a joke
I won’t be buying boxes of these. I’ll grab a pc player auto or something but the debut insert is weak looking and so are the others. I grabbed some chrome and cosmic trying to play the unlicensed game..just doesn’t feel the same.
God there so bad!!
Bought into break this weekend regretted it after seeing 1st card..not a fan
Amazing content as always 😊
RGL ❤
100k for sure
Rgl in da house
Chances of Wemby or LeBron is cool but they don't look good at all lol
Truly the Junk Wax Era….. Unlicensed in 2025 will go down as pure junk….
Still Enjoy your content ! ✌️

Topps needs to hire some of the leaf people to help with design Jesus
Topps feels cheap without the team licensing 😵💫
You’re a handsome man RGL!
Opened 1 box sat. Hit a Victor X a base victor and last auto was a on card auto of Victor So happy 1 and done 😂
This design looks like in focus Chrome design. Its not good
Actually the only thing you need know is don't buy this product and save your money :)
"Topps Mid-Right"
$250 for 60 cards is a joke.
Would you buy it though if it was $60 for 250 cards?
Handsome creator fishing for compliments, I’ll allow it.
ngl, i like topps product even if it’s unlicensed but this is atrocious
its 2025 not 2023
I have thrown away every last lebron card ive ever pulled. From base sets to rares and even 1 autograph. That's how much i despise him and his racist flooping crying bull.

Just save the trees and just print autos and get rid of base. No one will want this crap outside of autos. Landfill dumping coming soon.
What you need to know is these cards are hideous, if you're not licensed then pick better pictures not ones where it looks like they are wearing them old reversible elementary school jerseys, topps is so bad they are gonna RUIN the wwe product
this stuff is just so fugly - like they AI'd the design with absolutely no passion whatsoever to do anything interesting . . ..
Hard pass
They look so bad
