Topps logistics algorithms don't appear to exist, they don't have Amazon like capabilities as of today

Wonder if BO will be getting the same allotment as in years past.

Right, which is why they need to keep thing as simple as possible.

So this morning, I received tracking info for my initial Monty set. This, after securing the bonus set, less than 13 hrs. prior to Set #1, shipping. Why wouldn't Topps just...."consolidate", and ship BOTH SETS, via one, FedEx package? While they're a corporate client and surely have an adjusted shipping-rate, still; wouldn't it behove them to ship BOTH sets in ONE package, if for nothing more than, well; logistical purposes, on both ends...?

Am I missing something, here?

well, 2 sets would cost more to ship and how many people paid shipping for the extra set?
So they got $10 for the 2nd set, what if it cost them $5 a package to ship out 1 set, We just paid them to ship both...

This is Fanatics now, not just Topps. Given in the last few weeks I've only gotten about 50% of "Your order has shipped" emails I should get, I can infer their technical prowess isn't getting better.

My initial set arrived today. Packed very well; however, the cards inside are pretty bad. Four bonus cards are all damaged - one the paper is separated and other base cards are damaged, one looks like it was held by a toddler. I will upload pictures later after I go through the complete set. This is just a warning for those who are keeping these sealed or selling sealed.

yeah 2 of my RC bonus cards had dinged corners. they packed them loose along the long edge of the box, rather than in a row with the other cards, is that how yours came?

Given that they put the extra rookies in the box itself this year, I'm guessing not.

Ah, I haven't opened one, I didn't know that. Will be interesting to see if they do that then.

Good lord, did someone carry that Acuna around in their pocket before putting it in the set?

I joked to my wife that it looks like my 16 month old daughter was playing with it. Cards do not come in numerical order but the Acuna was first in line.

Montgomery club is now just a guarantee to get sapphire without going through EQL and this worthless complete set. Last year's set sold for $40 on eBay...embarrassingly enough, the last Montgomery Club Gunnar that sold was a PSA 9 Gunnar...for $14.99. It'd be something so small but yet simple of them to do, considering they charge $200 or so for Montgomery Club...At least with my Costco membership, I get cheaper gas plus free samples ..

Why add something to an add on!

Since it appears that there's a lot of QC issues in these sets, that topps made a whole nother run of sets and decided to let the bad ones go to market anyway?
