I opened my 10 from target and very rarely pulled a dupe.

I’m in the same boat as everyone else. My had a scheduled delivery of last Saturday and now it is Monday and they are back to pending delivery.

I'm about an hour from Orlando. Delivery date keeps getting moved back. Departure and arrival scans every day in Orlando since the 4th.

My 2 Lite Boxes said shipped on Friday via overnight but no tracking info was available at all over the weekend- they arrived today so I ripped them both. Results:

-Tanner Houck Black/White Diamond Auto
-9 B/W diamond parallels- Keibert Ruiz RC, Bogaerts, Albies, Rizzo, Syndergaard, Senzel, Eugenio Suarez, Cain and Snell
-Pache SP Variation
-Keuchel Green /99

Almost ten days hanging around local Fedex facilities is pretty bad. Normally it's 4-5 days but two weeks is not unheard of.

Whats up with the 2021 Topps Chrome Black and White Mini Diamond? I just picked up a Hader to work on a rainbow, but its the first time I've heard of this parallel.

TruBlueBrewCrew · 09-13-2021, 06:21 PM

To everyone still waiting on their hobby boxes for Topps.

Mine sat in shipping purgatory for 10 days. No updates. No USPS tracking number after supposedly initiation the fedex to USPS exchange.

Finally called topps today and waited on hold for 40 minutes before having the guy start a claim with FedEx.

And then the box got delivered today. I hope you're all on the same pathway to receiving your boxes, ha.

slogue2 · 09-13-2021, 07:04 PM

Opened my two lite boxes. Soto B&W mini-diamond parallel in the first (score!). Second had a Daulton Jefferies B&W mini-diamond auto. One box had a blue refractor. The other had a purple refractor. Not much else to write home about.

Just to be clear, I ordered these 10 blasters from Topps.com (all on same order); and not Walmart/Target/B&N/HL/DSG/etc.

Also, the little hologram serial# on each one is way different than the other. When I used to see blasters galore in stores, I'd always check the serial# to see how many were from the same "batch" (i.e. connecting serial#s) and how many had various other s#'s.

Not sure there's much to what I'm saying but maybe...

Call Fedex directly next time this happens. Occasionally Fedex packages in particular, even when they're not smartpost, get stuck at a local facility and don't seem to move again unless you ask for a trace.

MTBRM · 09-14-2021, 08:43 AM

I usually get mine next day or the day after when they ship from PA. It's now been 7 days and stuck at "Pending" and I honestly don't even care anymore just due to how long in total it's been to get this stupid Lite box lol.

This is great advice, the only downfall with FedEx SmartPost is that the trace must be started by the sender which means waiting on hold whatever the current wait time at Topps is.

It says pending. Is it saying that FedEx is awaiting the package or has it shown that it has been picked up? I have an order of 6 hobby and 10 blasters ordered on 8/20 that had a label created on 8/31 but still shows pending and awaiting package from Topps.

Mine is Pending on USPS' end at the moment. FedEx has sent the info to them but they haven't received as of yet.

Unbelievable. Mine are stuck in PA, "operational delay", says FedEx. I pay for Overnight shipping, and they don't come overnight. What in the actual.

Josie27 · 09-14-2021, 09:32 AM

Do you know approximately how many #’d (on average) come out of a Hobby and Jumbo? Last year it felt like there were more autos in jumbo than color (usual 4x base and 1x color auto).

Ordered hobby 25 days ago and still yet to arrive. It’s not just FedEx/USPS (SmartPost). Topps fullfilment is only getting worse, too. I placed an order on Sept 1st and it doesn’t even have a tracking # yet, 2 weeks later. Crazy.

I can only speak on hobby but I got 2#’d in one and 1 in the other.

I’ve ripped 2 hobby boxes, and about 10 blasters and gotten basically nothing of value.

Kyle Cody auto x 2 (base and 499 refractor)
Casey mize base auto
Nivaldo Rodriguez auto
Lourdes Gurriel green wave /99
Evan Longoria blue wave /150
David peterson purple /250
Javier Baez purple /250
Kebryan pink x2
Kirilloff sepia

The worst product that I’ve ripped personally. Would not buy a hobby box again unless it was like $120. Blasters, I’d pay $20 for.

Howie7107 · 09-14-2021, 10:21 AM

Was pretty fortunate with my Lite boxes (that ended up showing up yesterday after saying there a delay. 2/2 on autos (Apostel and Zuber), no RC on mini diamonds but decent names, and hit a Dalbec Gold /50.

RaceDog · 09-14-2021, 10:28 AM

Very nice, congrats!

Howie7107 · 09-14-2021, 11:44 AM

Awesome Adell hit!

Anyone know the estimated PR on the mini diamond autos? Trying to comp out the Apostel and Zuber I pulled for a forum member to buy, but not really sure where to start as neither have sales on 130Point yet.
