@AustinTani And prismatic umbreon is sitting at 1.5k+ raw and 5k PSA 10 right now so it supports the idea that AH SIR can still climb. And AH take up 3 of the top 5 spots in highest card value. The demand will be there

who’s bag holding round 3

@AustinTani Hard disagree. The only 2 cards shown in your examples that matches the appeal of AH top chase SIR are: -Mega Charizard - Umbreon But, - Mega Charizard has a MUCH easier pull rate than AH’s SIR chase - Zard has a pop of 15k+ - no one considers Prism umbreon their goat card

2025 Topps Chrome NFL Analysis & Deep Dive With NFL Chrome being one of the most hyped releases of the year, I figure there might be a few more eyeballs than usual on this one. So maybe we tone it down a bit. Be professional. Show some class. Talk about all the things we appreciate about this long-awaited, masterful Chrome release. Keep it clean. Keep it polished. Ease people into the Squatch experience. Yeah…that sounds like the responsible thing to do. And that's precisely why...…we’re not doing that. We’re cranking the spice all the way up. Because after all this time, Chrome Football is finally here. And there's a lot going on with this monstrosity. Some of it could even be called good. But there’s also a whole lot in this product that’s got the Squatch's butt hole puckering. So grab a Snickers. This one's massive. And may have a surprise or two. Welcome to 2025 Topps Chrome NFL. If you need more product breakdowns like this in your life, please consider following me on Substack, where I have my entire archive of 100+ product breakdowns in a much more navigable format. @slabsquatch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@slabsquatch Total cards in the product: 97,218,332 Let's compare this to its two closest Chrome cousins: 2025 Topps Chrome MLB- 67,711,000 total cards 2025/26 Topps Chrome NBA- 89,850,600 total cards To absolutely no one's surprise, this one beats them both. NBA Chrome broke the printing presses for a Chrome release. This one ran over them with a bulldozer. Somehow, I don't think this surprises too many people. You want to know something that will? Even though Topps squeezed over 7 million (8.2%) more cards into NFL Chrome than NBA, there are fewer base cards in the NFL release. A LOT fewer. Let's compare. Production by card type: 2026/26 NBA Chrome: Total Inserts- 7,317,126 Total Parallels- 8.929,624 Total Autos- 405,410 Total Base- 73,198,440 Base cards per player (299 card CL)- 244,811 2025 Topps Chrome NFL: Total Inserts- 11,858,048 (+62%) Total Parallels- 25,960,373 (+190.7%) Total Autos- 441,420 (+8.9%) Total Base- 58,958,491 (-19.5%) Base cards per player (300 card CL)- 157,683 Base Rookies per player (100 card CL)- 116,535 If there's one thing you take away from this breakdown, this should be it. Topps is attempting to make this massive product feel loaded. That's why you see a litany of all new parallels, most of them garbage, of the high-numbered or unnumbered variety. In some products, more parallels actually made the product better (Bowman's Best, Bowman Chrome). In others, they absolutely nuked all the value (2025 Topps Chrome MLB). With the preposterous prices you'll have to pay to acquire hobby formats, this product needs all the help it can get. Unfortunately, this ain't it. We need more than a massive watered-down checklist and list of parallels resembling a CVS receipt to make that happen. Total production by format: Since we all have NBA Chrome fresh on our mind, I will add how each of these compares to its production in parentheses. Hobby- 103,754 boxes <8,646 cases> (-0.7%) Jumbo- 32,036 boxes <4,005 cases> (-7.5%) Jumbo First Day Issue- 1,248 boxes <156 cases> (N/A) Breaker's Delight- 37,870 boxes <6,312 cases> (+20.7%) Value- 1,376,019 boxes <34,400 cases> (+18.2%) Mega- 691,539 boxes <34,577 cases> (+12.8%) Hangers- 917,076 <14,329 cases> (+81.3%) Fanatics Megas- 30,068 boxes <1,503 cases> (0%) As you can see, among Hobby formats, Breaker's Delight is the only one that spiked...because of course it did. Retail formats crept up slightly, aside from Hangers, which exploded. Anyone else remember that all-too-short moment in time where we all went ape on those freaking glorious NBA Chrome Hangers? Might want to take a seat and prepare yourself for disappointment. More on that momentarily. Also, there is a Sapphire SKU which I will address in the future as it gets closer to release. Hit Rates: For some reason, Topps has been overly descriptive with these. Their stated expectations generally line up with the odds, but there are some exceptions. Hobby- 1 Auto, 12 parallels, 13.6 inserts, 3.6 numbered cards. (The math shows less parallels than Topps says, but more numbered cards than the stated 2. Overall we're really close, though.) Jumbo- 2 Autos, 21.5 parallels, 18.5 inserts, 6.6 numbered cards (Again, I'm showing slightly fewer overall parallels than the stated 23, but more numbered cards. Overall numbers match though.) Breaker's- 2 Autos, 9 parallels, 1 insert per 5 boxes, 3 numbered cards Value boxes- 1 Auto per 18.25 boxes (2.2/case), 8 parallels 2.7 inserts, 3.5 boxes per numbered card Megas- 1 Auto per 8.9 boxes (2.25/case), 14 parallels, 5.3 inserts, 1.75 boxes per numbered card Hangers- 1 Auto per 29 boxes (2.2/case), 4 parallels, 2.6 inserts, 6.8 boxes per numbered card Fanatics Mega- 1 Auto per 5.4 boxes (3.7/case), 17 parallels, 5.1 inserts, 1.6 boxes per numbered card Value Map: Pricing on this one is messy. If I base Hobby SKUs on drop pricing, it doesn’t help much- we all know our chances of actually landing an EQL win are basically zero. But using secondary prices isn’t much better since the secondary market is wild. On top of that, Jumbo pricing is still a bit of a mystery. We know Hobby is jumping $50 per box from pre-order, but Topps hasn’t clarified what Jumbo will land at on the drop. So here’s where I’m landing: Hobby at expected drop pricing, $400. Jumbo at $700 (pre-order was $650). Fanatics Megas at $80. Retail formats at standard pricing for Value, Mega, and Hangers. Breaker's Delight won't be included in this format. It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest baseline we’ve got right now. I will be attaching an editable spreadsheet to my Substack if you'd like to keep up with values as prices change. $/card: 1) Hangers- $1.00 2) Value boxes- $1.43 3) Megas- $1.67 4) Fanatics Megas- $1.90 $/parallel: 1) Fanatics Megas- $4.71 Tie- 2) Value- $5.00 2) Mega- $5.00 2) Hanger- $5.00 $/auto: 1) Jumbo- $350 2) Hobby- $400 3) Fanatics Mega- $432 4) Hangers- $580 $/# card: 1) Jumbo- $106.06 2) Hobby- $110.80 3) Megas- $122.50 4) Fanatics Megas- $128 Best formats: At drop pricing, for autos Jumbo is a clear winner, followed by Hobby. Once those reach $800+ for Hobby & $1,400+ for Jumbo, as in about 5 minutes after they drop, then Fanatics Megas end up being the cheapest way to pull autos. Unfortunately, the most desirable autos are only in Hobby formats, and as I mentioned earlier, so are the best inserts. However, it's not all doom and gloom. Even at drop pricing, Megas are the best format across the board for parallels, including Rookies and Image Variations. As we saw with NBA Chrome, even retail formats can catch fire eventually. But since these are actually cheaper than those, they'll likely disappear from shelves quicker. If I'm ranking retail formats for overall value, it's: 1) Fanatics Megas 2) Megas 3) Hangers 4) Value Boxes For all my Hanger die hards who are in denial like me, allow me to include one more metric to drive home the fact that hangers are not the bangers they were with NBA Chrome. For NBA Chrome Hangers, I created a little metric I like to call "Quality Hits". It involved evaluating the density of lower numbered parallels, inserts, and autos. A detailed description can be found on my end-of-year analysis from January. What this did is allowed me to measure the strength of "Quality Hits" in a format in relation to the spend. For context, with NBA Chrome Hangers, you could expect a Quality Hit to fall 1 in every 6.75 Hangers. In NFL Chrome, that number is 1 in 22.1 Hangers. Meaning you have to rip 3× as many to get a low-numbered quality hit. If you're ripping, Megas are a safer play than Hangers. Hobby vs. Retail: Since secondary pricing is already absurd for Hobby formats, it's very valid to analyze what can actually be pulled from retail. I've already seen many comments that nothing of value can be pulled from retail. However, I have to disagree with that to an extent. Here are desirable chases that CAN ONLY be pulled from Hobby formats- Team Camo Variation, Game Genies, Tecmo Inserts or Autos, Kaiju, Radiating Rookies, Chrome Etch Variation, 1990 Topps Autos, Chromographs, Future Stars Autos, Legends Autos, Hall of Chrome Autos, Dual Autos, Rookie Patch Autos These can be pulled from BOTH Hobby & Retail formats- Helix, Let's Go!, Ultraviolet, Lightning Leaders, Shadow Etch, Rookie Variation Autos, Base Variation Autos And these can ONLY be pulled from Retail formats- Lightboard Logo, Fanatical, Urban Legends, Retail Rookie Autos, First Year Fabric, Rookie Relics Retail is definitely going to be a tougher path to massive hits. My favorite new addition, Kaiju (think old-school Japanese monsters like Godzilla & Mothra), is going to be wildly popular. Naturally, you won’t find them in retail. Same story with Tecmo, which already has a cult following. Hobby formats only. The Bo Jackson auto in that subset is going to slap. That said, retail isn’t a wasteland by any stretch. There are still plenty of desirable inserts and parallels to chase. And if you’re accustomed to Panini retail, just know Topps tends to run laps around that experience. What's Missing? Curiously, this absolute unit of an odds sheet left out a couple of pivotal subsets. The 5-card NFL Honors Gold Shield Autos and the 98-subject Rookie Premiere Patch Autos. You know…just the biggest chases in the entire product. This is usually where I break down how many of those land in each format. Normally, that means a heavy concentration in Breaker’s, Hobby, and Jumbo, with a few scraps tossed into retail. Not this time. Unless Topps decides to update the odds sheet, there’s nothing to break down, which is frustrating. One more omission that everyone probably expected, but still stings. No Mahomes autos. As a Chiefs season ticket holder, that one hurts. Panini still has him locked up. We’ve got roughly 745 signers in this product, and somehow the one I actually want isn’t one of them. Hopefully that changes soon. Because the Panini products that do include him? One is priced higher than an actual rookie auto, and the other is a dumpster fire that advertises autos, but not really. What Would the Squatch Do? Is this stuff overpriced? Absolutely. Does that matter? Not really. We currently have way worse recent Panini NFL products going for more than what these will in early secondary pricing. That will correct sooner than later though. If you somehow dodge the odds and land Hobby or Jumbo through EQL, that’s free money. I’ll be right there with you, submitting my entry and preparing to take the usual L. If you hit, it’s an easy flip. Or better yet, stash it and let time do the work. As for ripping it? Not for me. Lighting money on fire does not give me joy. But if that's you, no judgment. Hobby how you hobby. Just understand what you’re signing up for. A lot of these boxes are going to hurt. Especially if you’re paying secondary market prices. As for retail, I learned my lesson from NBA Chrome. As much as I hated the pricing, I should have bought every box I saw in the wild, and there were thousands of them. With this, if I see it, I’m buying it. For me, the plan is simple. Accumulate. Marinate. Re-evaluate when the supply tightens. I definitely want to be part of the circus. You just won't catch me ripping any of it. All sealed and singles for me.
