| Card Sets Coming in 2025 | Login/Join |

I see that Upper Deck has a card set coming for the 2021 James Bond film "No Time to Die" Does Topps have anything coming this year in terms of Star Wars? I don't see anything listed. What was the last SW set that Topps released? Something in mid 2024 maybe? | ||

From a Friendly Dealer's™  Newsletter:
Lots of stuff coming. You won't see many additions for Topps, because they limit what they sell and primarily sell direct now. The last Star Wars release was last week: 2024 Star Wars High Tek. Again, you don't hear about them unless you pay attention. Sold out in a few minutes on Topps' website. Topps has Finest Marvel X-Men '97 coming end of the month. Again, not on the list because it's primarily a direct product. I'm not aware of what's next for Topps Star Wars, I'm sure they have something in the works.

So dealers can't get Topps' Star Wars anymore ? You can only get the cards from the Topps website ? | |||

Thanks for the update Ed! It’s unfortunate that Topps isn’t giving any long term advance notice on their new products. Looks like they ended the Throwback Thursday Star Wars product. Their direct sales approach to the hobby isn’t good for anyone long term as it limits exposure to new products that may take some time to sell through. | |||

Dealers have to have a Brick and Mortar store open 40 hours or more a week to buy wholesale from Topps now, if they approve you. They no longer use any wholesalers, it's all handled by Topps. Either meet their criteria for a dealer or buy at retail. Ed ____________________ I may be going to hell in a bucket, but at least I'm enjoying the ride. -"Touch of Grey" by The Greatful Dead | |||

Two Bond sets! I guess with Marvel going away UD can refocus. Looking over the Puppet Master release, I think I am glad I picked up the product from ATTIC cards over Dynamite. I definitely prefer my Evil Bong autograph card of Charles Band! Another Wicker Man set? Don't get me wrong, I love the movie but seems a bit faded from the view of the modern card collector. Not much left in the autograph department. Certainly don't want to see any more cut cards from Unstoppable. Is this title still big in the UK? Looking forward to Twin Peaks and still have my fingers crossed for What We Do In the Shadows. A bit sad there are only a couple of fresh titles but I get it. ____________________ Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's valuable. | |||

I haven't bought a lot of UD stuff lately but what would the James Bond Black Diamond set suggest? A mix of the Bond movies or some manufactured type of cards, like the gems gimmick? | |||

Black Diamond is a copy of their Hockey sets of the same name. And yes, imbedded gems is part of the gimmick. High End product though. 6 cards per box. Impossible to put a base set together without spending a fortune.

Thanks, Ed. Oh, that does sound pricy. I have a lot of Bond cards from RA, thankfully, but I always like to see what's being made that might be new. That set will probably be one to watch from afar and not get involved with. | |||

I collected all of the Bond card sets from Rittenhouse but stopped when UD took over. I think UD has done 3 sets so far. Endless levels of chase cards that no one can reasonably complete. Many autos limited to 25 or less. When you can't make a set, the fun ends. Take a look at the checklist for the Villains and Henchmen set. This would make most collectors PASS on the cards ! https://www.cardboardconnectio...nchmen-trading-cards | |||

Same here but I still keep an eye out for new autographs. ____________________ Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's valuable. | |||
