FYI. The new releases have been thin since the beginning of this year. My old source has stopped releasing many new products. I have found a new resource and that is why all the new releases are posted today. I beleive I have all Topps products up through 10/26/2023. There are more begiining on the 27th. So more will be coming. There is one high priced product that I did not include.
 
I hope they have some good rookies included. Dave
Not as many as in 2022 Topps Update! Last year...had Julio Rodriguez and Witt Jr.....both of their Gold cards in the $200.00 range....only have the Witt Jr......got it early for only $71.00 Buy it now. Still need Rodriguez gold and about 8 other gold cards to finish the 330 gold set. Best regards, David PS not get any of the Bowman Draft this year...so around Dec I should have the funds for one of Rodriguez Gold (my Christmas gift to myself).
 
Alert.....hobby boxes will only have 12 cards per pack and the cost will be same as last year hobby boxes (Last year Hobby boxes has 24 pack and 14 cards per pack).....Best regards, David PS Last year hobby boxes 24 packs and 14 cards=336 cards. This year 24 packs and 12 cards= 288 cards.

That is brutal - no chance of completing 2 sets by opening only 2 boxes.
 
Grip & Rip.....on youtube....claims only 20 packs per hobby box? But on ebay....one seller has 24 pack and 12 cards per pack....

Totally confused at this point. Based on the Hobby Box write up from Anglinomics - it says 20 packs/12 cards, and than basically in the same paragraph says 24 packs:

Configuration:

12 cards per pack.
20 packs + 1 silver pack per box.
Look for 1 autograph or relic card per box on average.

Every 24-pack Hobby Box contains one autograph or relic card.
 
Grip and Rip on utube yesterday....also saids 20 pack and 12 cards per pack for the hobby boxes. So be careful....Fanatics/Topps causing mass problems for collectors and hobby shops....

At this point, I an inclined to believe the 20 pack/12 card layout - so only 240 cards per box. Probably a maximum of 220 base, once inserts are taken into consideration. To build 2 - 330 card sets, would need PERFECT collation out of 3 hobby boxes. Who said math isn't fun!

Looks like I will be doing some trading on October 12th!!
 
240 cards....Like I said...nobody knew about this until yesterday. So the one hobby box on ebay...has incorrect 24 packs....should be 20 packs.....plus its the same cost as last year ...but fewer cards....Best regards, David
 
My source still says 20 packs of 12 cards per hobby box. The jumbo is 10 packs of 46 cards per pack. I found this on Cardboard Connection:
Hobby Box Configuration: 12 cards per pack, 20 packs per box, 12 boxes per case
Hobby Jumbo Box Configuration: 46 cards per pack, 10 packs per box, 6 boxes per case
Retail Box Configuration: 14 cards per pack, 20 packs per box, 12 boxes per case
Hanger Pack Configuration: 59 cards per pack, 64 packs per box, 8 boxes per case
Blaster Box Configuration: 12 cards per pack, 7 packs per box, 40 boxes per case
