Online sellers preparing for upcoming Baseball Card releases
As the calendar moves into the months of fall, the sports world will also start to heat up. College Football is already kicking off, and the NFL season will not be far behind it. NBA and NHL seasons start in October, and playoff Baseball is will also be right around the corner. This is also the time of year when some key sports card products get released as well. Already, breakers on platforms like eBay Live are scheduling their shows in advance, grabbing timeslots on what could be major release days.
While the release date is not yet known on some of the major products released every year, some are. For example, at the time of writing, Panini Impeccable Baseball is current slated to release on August 29th. This is a high end product, and collectors have the ability to obtain some really special cards from the product. While unlicensed, major autographs of MLB stars will be in the product. For example, Paul Skenes will have autographs in the product, as was released in some of the preview images. Before long, breakers will start to advertise specific shows for this product, so collectors should keep an eye out as it pushes closer to the release date.
Other major products that usually get released around the fall months include other major releases a variety of Topps Baseball releases, such as Topps Pristine, Topps Allen and Ginter, and Topps Update. Panini also tends to put out some Baseball releases toward the end of the season as well, with it's aforementioned Impeccable Brand. Football traditionally sees most of it's releases during the Fall, with Donruss, Panini Immaculate, Prizm Draft Picks, and Panini Flawless. In the case of Flawless, it is as high end as it gets when it comes to Football releases. October will also see Topps taking over the Basketball license. Collectors will surely be interested to see what products Topps releases out of the gate, and breakers online will be at the ready to meet demand.
Collectors have much to look forward to in the hobby, and the traditional fall releases are a perfect snapshot of why. While release dates are not known yet for a majority of these products, collectors should stay tuned for more information. If collectors are into live breaks and auctions, they can continue to look at scheduled shows on eBay Live to see what products are being broken each night, and by what seller. Without a doubt, the upcoming months in the hobby could be very special for everyone involved.
