Has anyone seen a Shane McClanahan red ink? It seems odd that I haven’t seen a single one pop up. I only need it, flip stock, and the Superfractor having the rainbow.

FYI, if anyone is looking for the Bo Bichette Image Variation, I have extra. Also have extra 10 Kyle Higashioka SPs and 13 Austin Hays SPs.

Looks pretty close. Checklist to 99. Topps has 6434 boxes listed at 3 per box.

Are the 3D cards actually lenticular, similar to the 2018-2022 on-demand 3D sets? They look pretty dull in pics. I don’t want to drop 3 figures only to end up with a Sportflics card

Sorry, my box number is off, but the odds are on a PDF file on the Topps website. I think the number is much higher now that I looked at it again. Chasing Majors has it as 750,000 packs produced for the WalMart box. With a 99 checklist and 3 per box that seems like +/- 1500 per subject.

This seems a much more accurate number. I would imagine the blue sparkles are a bit higher in print run than the base chrome cards /999.

Maybe a stupid question, but are parallels of the short print cards any rarer than the parallels of the rest of the series, or are there the same # of parallels as the rest?

Same number of parallels as the rest. The SPs are only short printed with respect to other base.

Picked up an “A’s” card in the $1 box - not an “Athletics” - one of the white border cards. How many parallels/variations do that?

Opened 4 hobby packs at the LCS - hit a jersey card and a Curtis Mead image variation rc

Crushed the odds, still didn’t recoup my money lol (I’m not complaining)

And that's the problem with most products these days....even when you do beat the odds, 90% of the time the "hit" you pull is of a mundane player, and the card is worth <$25.

I know somebody who did very well odds-wise on their Heritage case (4 autos, including a Red and a Flashback, a throwback, black & gold chrome refractors, etc.), and because none of them were of top-tier players, the bunch probably wasn't worth 1/3 of the case price.

It is a 100 card chrome checklist. and there is no way to calculate blue sparkle odds because there is no way to know how many mega boxes they printed for walmart....there is no walmart-exclusive #/d parallel. so...no, the 250 number is more likely 1000.

Just saw Topps has finally, officially confirmed Minis! And they appear reasonably priced...

Long time lurker, rare poster. (I spend more time on Net54).

But pulled this from a blaster today. Hard to tell from the pics, but it’s the 3D version. Thought I would share with this crew.

I dont buy much wax (one or two blasters per year). So this is likely my best ever pack pulled card.

Looking at ebay, it seems like only the Esteury Ruiz parallels have this. His regular card has Athletics and all the other Oakland players have Athletics for all their cards as well.

Still, the "A's" card is pretty cool.

Picked up 30 Short Prints for $25 @ LCS yesterday. Wondering how that compares to ebay lot prices? Probably will look for one more lot.

In the last week, I was still selling them for about $2 each in lots. Think I had a lot of 57 that sold for $115 and another smaller lot that was still the same per card. You did well.

Agreed, in lots they are fetching about $2 for me also, individual need cards are getting $2.50-$3. Pace has slowed quite a bit now though.

Thanks. My LCS prices to move. Always seems like they end up below $1 on COMC by the time I ever send in a couple. But this year…
