2025 Topps Chrome Star Wars Superbox Break

Leave a comment

At a time when hobby releases are skyrocketing due to the ongoing breaker culture, it’s worth noting when an almost reasonable configuration presents itself. The Super Box is one of these. The full base set consists of 200 cards, plus various inserts.

Unlike the more expensive boxes, there are not guarantees for hits with these. You can count on base, a few parallels, and a handful of insert cards. Is it worth the price? Well, I guess that would depend on your goals. You’re not going to get rich with a big hit from these, but they do help you build a set at a lesser price, if that’s your goal.

A box contains 12 packs of 5 cards each, plus an additional 3 packs of 5 special image variant cards per pack. I wouldn’t exactly call it a hit, but each box also advertises one oversized Die Cut Head card.

2023 Topps Star Wars Super Box Break

Leave a comment

This release came as a bit of a surprise, showing up for preorder on the Topps site before any retailers had even been aware of it coming. It’s an unusual release, as Star Wars go. It is being marketed as a “Flagship”, but rather than covering the entire universe, it largely focuses on Disney+ shows. For a 100 card base set, there are many interesting subject choices made. It’s not clear if that means there will be more series this year, or a continuation in future years.

We also see a unique presentation for the so called Super Box. It’s unclear if these were intended to be a retail release, but these also went to hobby stores. It has a familiar configuration with 24 packs containing 7 cards each. Each box also includes one Widevision card. The base set has quite a few parallels, as well as a handful of inserts available. There are also some autographs available, but they are not guaranteed in a box, and have very difficult odds.

Wave 4 brings the conclusion of the 206 Star Wars run for 2022. This wave has a print run of 11097 packs. Once again, we see the same parallels, as well as short prints involving image variations and home worlds. New to this wave is the inclusion of a small insert set featuring Crests.

A box advertises ten cards, which includes two parallels.

2022 Topps 206 Star Wars Wave 3 Hobby Box Break

Leave a comment

Wave 3 arrives for the Topps 206 Star Wars release, but I can’t help feeling like it’s missing a bit of the charm of the baseball release. Rather than having different advertising backs, which would change between waves, these features a fixed set of different border colors, along with one alternative back design. Each wave also features ten alternate image short prints, along with ten variations showing the subject’s home world.

The wave had a print run of 13318 packs, which is down a little bit from wave 2 and just over half as much as wave 1. Each box contains ten cards, which is eight base along with two parallels.
