Thursday, April 3rd
2024-25 Bowman Chrome University Basketball
features all ac+ve NCAA players with both men’s and women’s standouts being featured. Among them is
Cooper Flagg, one of the top names projected for the 2025 NBA DraE. This is the first mainstream collegiate
card for the Fana+cs-exclusive athlete, although he was previously in 2024 Topps Chrome McDonald’s All
American Basketball (discussed on the episode released February 15th). All 100 cards have more than two
dozen different Refractor parallels. Stealth versions are only in “breaker’s delight” boxes while mega boxes
have exclusive Shimmer Refractors. Wave Refractors can only be found in blasters. The main set also acts as
the founda+on for the Base Prospect Autographs. All 100 players have signatures in the product including even
more Refractors here.
Set Size: 100
4 Cards per Pack | 24 Packs Per Box
Each Hobby Box has; 2 Autographs
Cost: $300
Verdict: Better Get My Donuts 2/5
 
 
Friday, April 4th
2024 Panini Select Baseball
puts some addi+onal shine on a broad mix of players, primarily from the past and with eyes for the future. The
product s+cks with the Select formula, which includes a +ered base set, large rainbows and lots of inserts.
Autographs land two per hobby box. They’re joined by one memorabilia card. All cards, no maXer the +er,
have an assortment of parallels as well, some of which go into mul+-color paXerns. Tie-Dye, Zebra and one-of-
one Gold Vinyl are among those to watch for. The 10-card Color Wheel is among the toughest chases in the
product. Autos appear to be s+cker. Checklist consists primarily of re+red stars and prospects. A very small
number of ac+on veterans also make their way into the product. There’s a card of Willie Mays that I really like.
Set Size: 300
5 Cards per Pack | 12 Packs Per Box
Each Hobby Box has; 2 Autographs, 1 Memorabilia Card, 9 Inserts, and 12 Parallels
Cost: $180
Verdict: Bases Loaded 4/5

2024 Topps Inception Football
sees another one of the company’s modern brands return to the gridiron. Like its original run that debuted late
in Topps’ run with the NFL license before Panini’s exclusive, designs are as colorful and abstract as ever. Like
Topps’ other 2024 football products, most of the checklist is split between re+red greats and rookies. A couple
of veterans have snuck in as well, but not many. First-year players account for 50 cards in the base set. ShiEing
into the premium content, the checklist has four different themes for autographed memorabilia: Dual Rookie
Relic Autographs, Franchise Founda+on Relic Autographs, Provenance Patch Autographs, and Rookie Jumbo
Relic Autographs.
Autographs: Appear to be ON CARD
Set Size:TBA
7 Cards per Pack | 1 Packs Per Box
Each Hobby Box has; 2 Autographs, 1 Memorabilia Card, 2 Parallels, 2 Base Cards
Cost: $250
Verdict: That is some high quality H20
