Topps NBL 23/24

[graymice]

Haven't noticed any posts yet about the 23/24 Topps NBL set. Details from Beckett as follows"

2023-24 Topps NBL Basketball Checklist Overview​

The 100-card base set is a modest one. But with only 10 teams to cover, there’s not a lot of room to get much bigger.

Hobby packs have 10 different parallels:

• Opal – 1 per pack
• Blue – 1:11 packs
• Golden Wattle – /175
• Aqua – /125
• Green – /99
• Fuchsia – /75
• Gold – /50
• Orange – /25
• Red – /5
• Sun Ray – 1/1

Every hobby box should have cards from four different insert sets: Coast to Coast (1:5 packs), 1971 Topps Basketball (1:6 packs), Big City Ballers (1:6 packs), and Down Under (1:8 packs). These all have Opal, Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Red (/5) and Sun Ray (1/1) parallels.

The 2023-24 Topps NBL checklist has a pair of scarce short print inserts as well with NBL All-NBL (1:288 packs) and Next Stars (1:325 packs).

NBL Autographs are also randomly inserted, although they’re not guaranteed in every box.

Cards per pack: Hobby – 6
Packs per box: Hobby – 20
Boxes per case: Hobby – 12
Set size: 100 cards

Excited! Will be even more so if Chrome gets another release also.

Surprised the NBL hasn't trumpeted this next release yet, given they blast everything else marketing-wise.

Will be chasing Rocco Zikarsky, if anyone pulls him and cares to offload.

Golden Wattle parallel, eech!

Pre-orders available on Blowout. US$55 per box, $600 per case.

I'll probably jump on it, but staying away from chrome. Shocking collation.

[benny.collects]

Tough odds again to pull something decent.

Base parallels:

• Opal – (1:2 packs)
• Blue – (1:11 packs)
• Golden Wattle – /175 (1:32 packs)
• Aqua – /125 (1:44 packs)
• Green – /99 (1:56 packs)
• Fuchsia – /75 (1:74 packs)
• Gold – /50 (1:110 packs)
• Orange – /25 (1:220 packs)
• Red – /5 (1:1,095 packs)
• Sun Ray – 1/1 (1:5,407 packs)

Autos are 1:334.

All-NBL inserts are 1:288.

Next Stars inserts 1:324.

Chasing Rocco, if anyone hits him.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

My son is collecting AJ Johnson if anyone hits any please lmk

 

[P-Dawg]

Got some today, will list tomorrow

Let’s just say extremely difficult to get anything decent

 

[benny.collects]

Anyone seen an auto yet? I've seen one listed on ebay and looks like it's on-card. I could be wrong though.

 

[P-Dawg]

Grabbed a case...and no auto. In fact, no All-NBL or Next Stars case hits

I don't mind the set...though at the price should be an auto 1:3 boxes at least

I'll put up a sale / trade thread though my best hits were

Bobi Klintman Coast to Coast RED 4/5
1 x ORANGE / 25
5 x GOLD / 50 (incl Cadee Big Ballers, Delany Down Under, Tahjere McCall 71 Variations and Jordan Usher 71 Variations #01/50)
3 x PINK / 75
many other coloured parallels

All up does hurt not to get a case hit

 

[benny.collects]

Thanks for sharing m8. Bummer you didn't get a fantastic hit but.

Agree that autos should be more prevalent, literally how difficult would it be to have a few more players sign 50+ cards each and beef up the hit rate a little.

Decent product that's affordable and would be attractive to young collectors. Shitty that good hits (parallel + autos) are few and far between.

 

[Dean.W.]

Sounds like autos are hard to hit. I got lucky out of a couple boxes, managed to hit a next stars.
Does anyone know if they're doing Chrome again this year or just the one release?

Which Next Stars you hit ?

Regarding chrome, I believe so

 

[Dean.W.]

Oh OK, haven't seen a release date for it yet.

Got Mantas Rubstavicius. The cards aren't as impressive as I'd hoped for such a rare card.

 

[JAMMIN]

Hi guys, has anyone opened any yet?

 

[P-Dawg]

Yes I have

 

[benny.collects]

Hi guys, has anyone opened any yet?

P-Dawg details his case break five posts above yours.

 

[JAMMIN]

Thanks but pdawg and I are both Melbourne collectors, so nothing there for me haha

 

[graymice]

I'm making up for other people's bad luck for a change. Two boxes opened - 2 hits
Alex Toohey Next Stars (meh, but it's a hard to hit card)
Mitch Creek Auto (Creek's one of the players I collect, so super-excited at this one. Yes, they're on-card autos, not stickers)

 

[Jonathand]

No jasper rentoy for the kings so not getting box anymore

 

[Leopold09]

Anyone got a Sydney Kings base set or common’s available?
