$349, 1 auto guaranteed
Compared to last year:
$279 —> $349 = $70 increase
If you’re not familiar with Sapphire, it’s basically Chrome, but cracked ice variants. Last year included some extremely rare autos of top names but was genuinely regarded as a bad buy. There were no inserts, all base. 3 numbered cards per box last year, not sure about this year.

If you've never done an EQL lottery style drop before, it's pretty simple. The pre-orders are live for 60 minutes. Get what you want, add it to cart, check out. They'll then select "winners" a few hours after the drop ends at 1pm est. If you are chosen, your card is charged and you'll receive a confirmation e-mail. If you're not, you won't be charged.
Cosmic Chrome is 20 cards per box, 4 cards per pack.
Autographs ARE NOT guaranteed in each hobby box. Remember what I've always taught.. if it says "look for", it's not guaranteed.
I'm gonna repeat that three more times so nobody misses it.
Autographs ARE NOT guaranteed in each hobby box.

I don't know of the rate that autos do fall and I imagine it won't be revealed until well after the product releases, but if it's anything like Cactus Jack, we can expect just 3-4 per case.
I'll have my guide out when the checklist rolls out.
I think the big chase insert in this set are the planetary pursuit cards. Each wrestler has a planet variant, and the further away you are from the sun, the rarer the card is. So if you pull a Sun CM Punk, it's common, but Pluto CM Punk would be more rare.
Topps just unveiled the Royalty price and details
Friday, 1pm est NOTE: THIS IS A RELEASE DATE EQL DROP, THERE ARE NO PRE-ORDERS
EQL style release
$749.99 (which is cheaper than I expected)
1 pack per box, 10 cards per pack
6 autos or auto relics guaranteed per box
We knew a lot of this, but the big question mark was the price. I expected higher since this is the set that has last year’s Wrestlemania 1/1 patches in it. Third party prices will be $1k+, easy
How are you feeling about it?
