Well, hell, I didn't know that! Shoot, maybe I won a raffle in the past and didn't know because I never got an email and just assumed I wasn't chosen.

Hopefully, someone posts a link when it populates, so I can try.

Yes, I will do that if I somehow win. Others should do this as well.

Thank you - I've been looking for the "rules" since I signed up; once you enter they go poof.

theshowandme · 06-24-2021, 04:17 PM

If they do a filter that parses users by the number of times we clicked “Pay Now” yesterday I’m 100% getting a ticket

When do they run the results of the raffle? generally how long after the close?

cypher · 06-24-2021, 05:05 PM

I "won" a spot last raffle they had and I didn't see the link in my email for an hour or two. Clicked on the link and they were sold out. Would be nice to have a few hours to purchase if the winning emails are sent at a random time.

JRX · 06-24-2021, 05:14 PM

I've never won one of these. Often times the winners can't even buy it so its kind of pointless.

Check this thread and the 582 Montgomery Club thread. Someone will post a link. I typically leave my browser open on the last page of the thread and when I refresh, I can tell it's active if 2-3 pages are added to it.

I wonder if those of us that have ordered boxes will get selected

My guess is they will have some sort of filtering in place. I have no evidence to support this, but yesterday was pretty bad. So many of us got through the queue system and were able to cart multiple times without orders going through.

Anyone have trouble in past raffles of being picked BUT not being able to buy them? Because of site trouble, etc. And only to see they sold out?

IlliniBear · 06-24-2021, 08:11 PM

Thanks OP.

Schocktown · 06-24-2021, 08:22 PM

Thanks OP, finally at least a chance at something.

tomingo0711 · 06-24-2021, 08:24 PM

I was lucky enough to get through yesterday and purchase a few boxes. They still haven’t shipped though. Anyone have their order from the first public sale ship?

If I am getting those boxes I don’t need any more so won’t enter the raffle. I just worry they could be cancelled

I got 3 boxes yesterday and am wondering the same thing as well. My thought is I might as well enter the lotto and see what happens.

What is the print run on 2021 Bowman sapphire? There are 327 listings on eBay with most having 2-3 available, some more. That’s a freaking ton, I hope they didn’t Jack the print run up to 10k or more, I believe sapphire is usually 4-5k???

JoeKellyFan · 06-25-2021, 08:26 AM

Anyone hear anything? Think the raffle closed at 9 right?

10k or more? It was already over 20k last year I believe. 48k is the calculated print on boxes this year. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but printing is up substantially from your estimate

I really don’t think many were left over for the raffle

bustsomewax · 06-25-2021, 08:45 AM

Would be nice if Topps sent emails if you werent selected.

Wow, that can’t be right, 2020 Baller and 2020 Flashbacks had a print run of 4000. Is 48k the # of boxes or the # of each card produced?

EDIT - 48,000 boxes seems plausible, with 32 cards per box and 150 cards in the set that give you a 10k print run.

Here are the odds... Do your math thing.

Edit - screwed up the math… 1:2598 1/1 padpa’s with 150 cards in the set / 8 packs per box = 48712.5 boxes… 29 base sapphire cards per box (1 is an auto, 2 should be parallels) * 48712.5 = 1.412M cards / 150 cards in the set = 9417.75 print run, or thereabouts
