[illadelf]

Mine is arriving today. I had no doubt in my mind that I was just going to sell the box but now the gambler in me is debating it...

Rip, list the cards immediately while initial demand is highest, and post the results here.

That's what I would do if Topps weren't delivering mine on horseback (and still trying to acquire the delivery horse from what I hear).

Nothing for me yet. Hopefully today.

Has there been a breakdown to reflect how many boxes there are? Searching through the thread I found 8,000 being the number. I might be off here, but this is how I calculated how many boxes based off of the superfractor base and superfractor autos as well as some speculation regarding how many boxes per "case" even though these are distributed by the box...

Looking at Superfractor Base odds I get 8,400 boxes:
-Superfractor base odds = 1:1006 packs
-that is 1 out of 42 boxes (41.91666)
-200 superfractor base cards x 42 = 8,400 boxes

Looking at Superfractor Auto odds I get 8,800 boxes:
-Superfractor auto odds = 1:19200 packs
-that is 1 out of 800 boxes (exactly 800 boxes)
-11 superfractor auto cards x 800 = 8,800 boxes

Slight variance between the two calculations with the superfractor base at 8,400 boxes and the superfractor auto at 8,800 boxes. Where "speculation" might come into play is not knowing if Topps made these boxes to fit a desired number of cases even though these are not sold by the case. With that in mind...

If we follow Finest Flashback being 6 boxes per case (see the FF thread at post 5377) then we can see that 8,400 boxes is exactly divisible by 6, making an exact 1,400 cases if this were the true box print run. But if we do the same with 8,800 boxes it is not exactly divisible by 6, making it 1,466.666666666667 cases if that were the true box print run.

I'm guessing we have 8,400 boxes perfectly fitting 1,400 cases (again, I know these aren't sold by the case). That post in the Finest Flashbacks thread does show the outer box with 6 boxes/18 packs which is why I speculate the Ben Baller stuff the same way.

Someone opened their box on Twitter.

Yeah 8,400 seems like the right number. I was saying 8,000 previously because we thought there were 10 autos, but it turns out that there are 11.

[NoleinJax]

My lone box is still processing. Now wishing I hadn't paid for overnight shipping.

[metallicalex777]

That box looks like an average box overall from a hits and parallel point of view with the 1 die cut, 2 1985 inserts, but looked like he only hit 5 colored parallels when it is advertised as 6. I'll have to re-watch to see if I missed a card:

1 Die Cut: Ben Harper
2 1985 inserts: Nolan Arenado and Luis Robert
3 Green Refractors /99: I didn't capture who...no big or solid names
1 blue refractor /75: Alex Young
1 red refractor /5: Ramon Laureano
Notable RC base cards: Lewis, Lux, and Yordan

The 1985 Robert and Laureano red refractor will probably sell bonkers I'm sure. Great break overall for having the advertised hits.

Yup! First in last out. I can confidently say I purchased super early in the MC window.

[The Accountant]

I don’t think I’ll be able to resist breaking. Love chrome and these seem cant miss
