Sports card collector, numbers nerd, and wax ripper, in that order. I enjoy chopping it up about conspiracies and analyzing Topps odds sheets in my spare time.

Would anyone actually watch a YouTube channel where a Neanderthal screen-shares spreadsheets and breaks down odds, print runs, and production numbers? Or is that just too much excitement for one place? #thehobby #SlabSquatchAnalytics

2025-26 Topps Basketball Breakdown (this is a long one, sorry) This one took some time as it appears Topps is taking their new basketball license seriously. 17 formats and over 350 distinct variations later, and I'm finally able to post some final numbers that I feel fairly

2025 Bowman's Best University Football It seems Topps is getting more lackadaisical than ever with odds sheets lately, especially for baseball. We’re still waiting on releases that have been out for weeks (Pro Debut), plus two huge ones right around the corner (Topps Chrome

As much as I despise some things Topps does, it will never come close to how much I despise pretty much everything that Panini ever did.

Topps Chrome NBA just dropped...... Hobby- $370/box Jumbo- $700/box 😲😲😲 I take back everything I said about these boxes being flippable. This is absolute lunacy.

2025-26 Topps NBA Flagship: New info regarding box dynamics Costco Super Boxes for NBA Flagship have 15 packs as opposed to the typical 10 packs of super boxes. This changes their hit dynamics considerably and makes them a sneaky good play, and right up there with Fanatics

We finally have clearer details on the Black Friday Target Value Boxes. When I first broke these down, I had to make assumptions- standard value-box structure (12 packs of 7 cards) and the usual $25 price point. Turns out the real configuration is 11 packs of 10 cards for $35,

Anyone who spent even five minutes on Snype this week could see it was nowhere near ready for a live auction- yet here we are. Hands-down the worst auction experience I’ve ever had. I had 200–300 listings lined up I would’ve happily bought, but instead got treated to this comedy

I have to point out an error I made on two of the entries on this breakdown. When entering the data, I pulled the wrong numbers from my spreadsheet for two different parallels, Base Refractors & X-Fractors. The proper print runs for those should be: Base Prospects Refractors-

I’m definitely more of a Topps guy than Panini (you know… odds are life). But credit where it’s due- when a product is seems to be scarce, offers solid value, and looks primed for a price jump, I’m not blind to it. The 2025 Revolution Premium Football boxes at Walmart for $130

As much as I like to rail on Topps for being lazy with their odds sheets, we don't need an odds sheet or print runs to know Pro Debut is an excellent product. One of the best value products of the year. And somehow it's still available on the website, even though it's going for

It appears neither Golden Mirror Autos or Heavy Lumber Auto Relics are numbered as I had assumed they would be. They both have a print run of 25 copies ea.
