I'm imagining some random dude hitting the Skenes Debut Patch in a break just as he opens today's mail and also gets his Curry/Lebron/Durant triple auto

(In related news, does anyone want to buy any of these 1988 Donruss Gregg Jefferies cards I've been hoarding?)

Hey #baseballcards folks, quick question - have any of the really big Topps Debut Patch cards been pulled yet? Skenes, Elly, Chourio, Holliday, Shota, Yamamoto?

Another one for Filthbomb Breaks - this time not a redemption, but the actual Debut Patch card!

Aaaand as of 12:46, only hobby boxes are left. Hurry !

As of 12:30, cases of Chrome Update are already sold out on the Topps website ... still Mega Boxes ($50), hobby boxes ($200) and jumbo boxes ($420) available ... www.topps.com/pages/topps-...

The Ben Brown Debut Patch was pulled a little while ago by Filthbomb Breaks

I am seeing that the first Debut Patch from Topps Chrome Update has surfaced from Backyard Breaks ... Bryce Jarvis of the Diamondbacks, as a redemption card

Anyone else seeing any yet?

2024 Topps Chrome Update: MLB Prospects, Rookie Cards We’re Hunting & MLB Debut Patch Chase We break down the upcoming Topps Chrome Update release, including players to hunt and where to buy collectors' boxes.

What you need to know for tomorrow's Topps Chrome Update release.

One thing I learned: you'll want to grab the Cubs and Athletics in your online breaks.

Oh, and also that Paul Skenes guy.

The NL rookie class was CRAZY good this year.

And this doesn't even include Yamamoto or Imanaga ...

My vote is for Skenes ... the smart money is on Merrill ... and I still think Chourio's the best long-term investment.
