How we rate boxes, and why this one has no verdict yet →

NOT YET RATED — real release, no assessment. Topps has not published an odds sheet this catalog has transcribed and no cards have been priced here, so there is no basis for an EV or a verdict; the app says 'Not Yet Rated' rather than guessing. FACTS CORRECTED 2026-08-10 against Topps, Beckett and Sports Collectors Daily — but SECOND-HAND: those sites are unreachable from the build environment, so the figures come from search-engine summaries of them, not from the pages themselves. needs_verification stays TRUE until a human opens sources[] and confirms. Same posture digital-packs.json takes when operator sites are unreachable. This entry began life as an ILLUSTRATIVE placeholder and every headline figure in it was invented: it was named '2025-26 Topps Update Basketball' (the product is Topps CHROME UPDATES), dated 2026-08-19 (it released 2026-08-06 at 12pm ET), priced at $290 (release-day hobby was $549.99), listed at 8 packs (it is 20), sold via Fanatics (Hobby and Jumbo went through Topps EQL), and credited with 2 guaranteed autographs (there is 1). Drop Radar was counting down to a box that had already shipped, at half its real price — and the drop-data audit passed it clean, because every field was internally consistent. Shape checks cannot catch invented facts. The id slug still says 'topps-update' — deliberately not renamed, because cdf_product_price_history is keyed on product_id and a rename would orphan that history for no display benefit. TO RATE IT: transcribe hit_table from the official Topps odds sheet, set price from real sold comps rather than release-day MSRP, and delete `unrated` — ledger capture resumes from that point, with a verdict somebody actually made.
