Obviously in this instance because of the gambling aspect. You spend a smaller amount for a change to get a higher value item. I'm definitely not arguing that it's a smart thing to do, but even people who don't make the best decisions should be protected from mistakes like this.

You and I are probably largely in agreement about group breaking and the wisdom of it both from a personal standpoint and from the standpoint of the overall health of the hobby.

And the guy who hit the Baty auto? The guy who bought a "chance" at a card and actually won his gamble? His reward is to get the Baty shipped back to Topps because other people cried about losing their gamble?

You can play the "what if" game until the conversation turns into a hypothetical web that won't ever get back on track, but who's to say that had each box delivered what was advertised, he wouldn't have gotten another Baty auto? He potentially could have been as much of a victim of the error than the other breakers. But since the entire break was advertised as having a change at each different team autos, the only solution that would be equitable (in my mind) to the majority of the buyers would be to refund and return.

Now, it could be possible that Topps wouldn't require all the contents be returned to them to be able to get another case, and if that was the case (pun intended), then the breakers should send out all the cards won by each buyer, including the Bety. They would still all be refunded in this instance.

Again, that's just how I would handle the situation.
