@colum26@CardPurchaser This was true back then with Panini. When Fanatics bought out Topps they began squeezing out the middleman. Shops still get allocations but they have squeezed that profit margin. This is more on Fanatics than anyone else
@DadVibesCards@ricanking6 IMO it’s a mix of a bunch of factors. Strong rookie class, lots of case hits, scarcity of products out right now, and playoffs just around the corner.
@AMCTheatres we went to watch Toy Story 5 at 2 pm today with 3 adults and 4 kids and you guys already ran out of Buzz promo cards by then. Employees probably back doored them. Pretty wack!
We would like to provide clarity regarding the 2025–26 Topps Chrome Basketball Mega Boxes and recent questions about the packaging language.
The Mega Box packaging says “Chase Exclusive Blue X-Fractors,” but it should have said “Chase Exclusive Silver X-Fractors.” This copy on the box was the result of an unintentional error.
For 2025–26 Topps Chrome Basketball, the product includes exclusive Silver X-Fractors rather than Blue X-Fractors. Silver X-Fractors were inserted correctly at a rate of 10 per box, which is the same insertion rate used for the blue basketball parallel in the prior year.
We understand that the typographical error on the packaging led to some confusion; we believe that the product delivers a comparable value and the configuration described in the official odds and checklist.
We apologize for this error and appreciate your continued passion for the hobby.
@TopNotchCardz@cardrestocks Yup. Target, walmart, topps, fanatics, best buy, scheels are all sold out. Only site that has it at retail is gamestop but you’re gonna overpay with shipping unless you’re a pro member.
