The.....Upper Deck has delayed the release of this product for the N'teenth time thread

Seriously tho if you go to some online retailers websites you can get an idea when a product is coming out

https://www.dacardworld.com/
https://breakawaysc.com/
https://niagarasc.com/
https://www.blowoutcards.com/

If you go to this website and type in the name of the product you will get a release date and an idea of when a product may or may not come out. It is inconsistent tho

I'm still waiting for a Topps redemption card that I had redeemed over 3 years ago. This after contacting the company on at least three separate times.

That's a different kettle of fish entirely. Redemption issues have plagued the hobby long before the backlog in product releases, and aren't handled by the same staff.

Series 1 tins and fat packs are starting to come out onto the market

I don't collect this, but apparently Skybox is coming out this Wednesday.

2022-23 Artifacts is out. I don't know if this is a new thing but now they have retail boxes ($90ish)

I never bought retail blaster boxes in the past because they suck. Maybe they did a better job with the larger retail boxes?

I would be taking a good long look at the odds for any hits. I remember waaay back in 07-08 doing a few Artifacts blasters because you had pretty good odds of a rookie redemption or a solid hit. In recent years, though, it really degenerated into "you'll be lucky to get anything better than a #'d /599 parallel"

Yeah, Artifacts is probably the worst retail configuration I'd say. Maybe a numbered parallel but that's it.

I'd say hobby is the only way to go when looking at Artifacts.
