Went looking for Topps Chrome retail and Chronicles BKB but showed up 5 minutes to late. According to the Excell rep, "the locusts already swarmed me and took all the basketball and Chrome." Was a very nice woman, enjoyed having a few minute conversation with her even though everything was gone.
So I went over to the LCS to try some TC Jumbo. $430 a box is steep but was jonesing for some. Started with 1 box.
Only 1 color and 4 pitcher autos and 1 26 year old utility rookie, bleh.
Jeff Samardzja Purple #d/250
Bryan Abreu RC Auto
Robert Dugger RC Auto
Colin Poche RC Auto
Michael Brosseau RC Auto
Josh Staumont Orange Wave RC Auto #d/25
Best card was probably the Luis Robert 1985 Refractor Insert.
I couldn't end on that note so why not try the open box with 4 packs left.
First pack pulled Danny Mendick RC Auto, meh I guess. See Michael Brosseau, lol.
Next pack Gold Wave, slow roll and Oscar Mercado #d/50 :doh:
Last 2 packs things started getting better. Mike Trout Refractor, Luis Robert Base RC and a Luis Robert Prism Refractor RC.

Maybe things are turning around so I dive into the next fresh box.
First pack, Auto Austin Nola RC. Ok a little better but still no wow factor.
Next pack - nada.
Next pack - thick card?
Didn't know these were in here. Rookie Reprint Jersey Auto Jose Altuve #d/75

About the 5 auto of this dude I've pulled this year. Very cool card but maybe only name worse on the checklist is Texiera.
So there has to be some color in there right?
Next pack - nada again.
Ok maybe one more trying to find color....
So this is why I do this!
Purple Luis Robert Auto #d/250 :D

Didn't realize he had live autos in this. Know purple isn't the most coveted of colors but still stoked about it.
Thanks for the look and good luck to everyone else on this stuff!
