i hope youre right! there are no LCS's or WalMarts here, just one Target that is local, so i hope they get enough stock to pick some up. Sadly, ordering it from Target.com or Walmart.com is not good, since they do not know how to package shipments properly

Wasn't going to buy but it's crazy how fast that went compared to the products that are still up.

I think there will be plenty of retail topps baseball being printed. The "chase for base" amongst the sneakrcrowd is mostly done.

Still looking for the following base cards from the AllStar Rookie Cup set if anybody is up for trading:

12 - Albert Pujols
20 - Kolten Wong
28 - Ryan Mountcastle
45 - Ryne Sandberg
68 - Yordan Alvarez
70 - Alex Kirilloff
79 - Xander Bogaerts

Also, redemptions do finally be starting to work as others mentioned. My Orange Jazz finally went through this morning. I also second everybody else's comments about a credit card being much safer for scratching than a coin. I destroyed my last 2 redemptions doing it as lightly as possible with a coin. Going light with the credit card worked nicely though.

For scratching redemption, I started using an exacto knife and lightly scratching the surface, seems to work well but have to do it slowly. coins failing on them for me recently.

The parallel treatments on those rookie recreates look fantastic. Lots of great looking cards in the set overall, but those really stand out for me. Has me a little more excited for Platinum Anniversary too and what greats they include there (with 8,000 parallel treatments).

Card didn't work for me--used the dime again and was super careful, got better results this time but that print is small so go slow

The issue seems to be with the "finished" version versus the "last minute" (like the India above). The last minute version is using the old style of larger code and I had zero issues with it.

When your 20-box break produces so many hits that you decide to only highlight supers, reds, and oranges...

TROUT IMAGE VARIATION 1/1!!!!!
Acuna Orange Auto 1/25!!!
Ryne /5
Judge Image Variation Orange /25
And the others...

Well, guess I am selling my ASRC boxes! Have not received 1 yet and the Trout super is pulled. Kidding. Here is a look at the set 5 Trout:
