2021/22 Topps Merlin UEFA Chrome First Look - Massive Print Run Changes + New Case Hits

Описание: 2022 Video #9
We're four months away from the 2nd year release of Topps Merlin Chrome UEFA soccer and boy will it be a big one. Big in names, big in hits, but more importantly, big in production. The print run of this product will be unprecedented compared to the inaugural 20/21 product, but that doesn't mean it'll be any worse. In fact, we now have case hits: stained glass inserts and match ball autos, which you will get one of each from a complete full case. This makes the chase a lot more fun because the presence of CR7 and Messi case hits significantly increases their overall presence in the product. Knowing on average you have a 1:6 chance per box of hitting a case hit (which will pay for a good chunk if not the whole box) is really comforting. I'm predicting as of February that the boxes will be around $250 USD each, and that retail blasters will be plentiful although they will resell for 35-40 after things settle a bit. Hope you guys enjoyed my breakdown!

Thanks for watching!
