Huh. I ordered some of the new $100 rookie set in the same cart. Maybe that's why I got free shipping?

The more I look at the product, it seems like a really fun rip at $100. Lots of color.

There are 7 refractors per box.

Base refractors are /199

Total print run per player of all non base refractors is 260 per player

I now think the pre-sell on Tuesday never got close to selling out. They pulled it because of the Yordan printing error so they could evaluate the situation and figure out how to proceed. This created a false sense of the appeal of the product and led to a bunch of folks buying that originally probably wouldn't of (I'm guilty of this). That's okay though, these exclusive products don't rarely lose value. Worst case I should be able to re-sell and recoup my money.

These numbers probably change some with moving some of the players from the MLB set to the MiLB set I'd imagine?

Does anyone have a screenshot of the original checklist with Yordan listed as a Rookie?

Even the Black & White Parallel 1:3 packs have print run of only 266 copies per player.

Topps hasn't produced a Bowman product with a print run of less than 700 cases in over 15 years.

I can't even remember the last product I opened that had over 84 #d Refractors per 12 box case.

Pre sale window reopened for members who didn’t get to get into Bowman Heritage.
Nice move out of Topps.
Never going to make everyone happy but credit where credit is due

Heritage should be pretty solid then I am guessing? Surprisingly, I am getting more Heritage this year from my dist than I have the past 4 I think.

Because they can't make them in 3-4 weeks and repack the whole thing.

Someone screwed up big time. Probably the brand manager for Tatis X

The updated checklist shows Yordan Alvarez, Zack Collins, & Logan Allen as Base Prospects but not in the Chrome Prospects portion.

Gave in and bought 3 even though I’m not convinced it’s worth the price. I’ve spent more on worse things though so whatever

These are very good signs for these boxes.

It certainly appears they're reprinting this, if the new checklist is correct.

The old checklist was 121 vets and 129 prospects.

There are now 118 vets and 132 prospects. On the prospect side, Yordan, Allen, and Collins are 130, 131, and 132, which didn't exist before.

And unless they were the last three of the original Vets checklist (they weren't) then all of those cards have different numbers now as well... because the vets are now numbered sequentially to 118.

(Costello is still in this, and was also in Draft, so it looks like they can print his stuff.)

Crazy.

Apologies for quoting myself, but now my question is...

How long until the backdoored wrong-numbered cards hit the market?!?!

If you don't see a bonfire at Topps HQ over the next couple of days, they'll appear some day.....

I actually got a refund by being polite, pointing out why i was mad. It was 20 boxes because I love Tatis. I didnt need to chargeback. Sure it took them forever to respond, but they did.
