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.

[@CarlosPerez-2023]

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.

I hope you start pumping Panini and Leaf unlicensed products in the future.

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.

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.

[@spspcards1]

It’s just info ….rather know than not know ….and it’s a business for SCI and HQ so why wouldn’t they try to toot their own horn ? SMDH

[@xdabeast6002]

Hey man, I'm just here for the information, not the intent behind the information. It's business, bud. There's nothing wrong here.

[@chrismoore9889]

@@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.

[@roycordova6636]

So what's the difference now from Topps and leaf!?!? I'd see bowman u as more valuable. Then unlicensed product.

[@kevinhayes7967]

The main difference is influencer are pumping Topps/Fanatics products and dumping on leaf to ensure they stay in the big boys good graces.

[@dpara9739]

Exactly Bowman U especially for football is underrated massively such a good product

[@user-fs4lj3nt2x]

The card market has gotten so watered down how does anyone buy new products. The prices are crazy

[@heavyhitterz9276]

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.

[@davidmesa9656]

Not a fan of unlicensed cards so I won’t be buying the product until the licensing kicks in.

[@The3dbowmaster]

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

[@shanewhitaker8768]

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.

[@johnwayne9828]

Because all these pump and dump influencers are paid shills.

[@mitchellrainer6901]

i hate unlicensed products

[@chrismitchell457]

I do too but I'll mess wit topps if they got crazy autos

[@pton5351]

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.

[@qpNapTimeqp]

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

[@johnwayne9828]

Facts. The only reason to go to a shop is to open product. I want singles, I go to ebay.

[@TheLegendofBrettMorrison]

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 💯

[@youngpup2028]

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.

[@thedistanttraveler6561]

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

[@keithmcfarland8948]

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.

[@bubblesnz1059]

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

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.

[@ramonoquendo4383]

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

[@pear8head118]

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.....

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.
