Regardless, congrats on the monster!!

Lol (only) 3 autos! This is indeed an insert auto: #VW-6 1957-58 Topps design with art by Angel Aviles. Red #4/5.

I think you should submit a ticket to Topps because you ONLY hit 3 autos.

Haha, congratulations once again! What about the rest of the box too?

A member theorized that the EQL boxes are likelier to be loaded and I'm actually starting to believe him.

One member hit a dual Wemby/Shaq auto /10 (3 autos in the box).

A second member hit a Wemby black chrome refractor auto /10.

A third member hit a red insert auto /5 (3 autos in the box).

Only the ones he scanned.

That's even more of a reason these are bad buys for the average Joe. These can so easily be scanned. Rich get richer. Buy 40 boxes, get them scanned, and sell off the dud boxes.

100% what is happening with the people flaunting off bulk boxes.

Sadly, it's more (maybe much more) likely this is happening than it is not.

StevieScheffler · 10-16-2024, 12:01 AM

LOL, if you think these are getting scanned, then I hope you know that NT and Flawless will be scanned even more. With Mercury you at least get a miserable/minimum 50% return on your box no matter what's in it. Good luck on a five figure NT box with an average return of 10%.

What's that stuff they put over your face so the x-ray doesnt penetrate your tissue? We need that.

SteigerWRX · 10-16-2024, 02:57 AM

The sell sheet info indicates that the French language cards are supposed to be numbered to either 45 or 75, but there seems to be several listed that arent numbered at all? Glaring Topps error? Or am I missing something?

Haha oh boy, looks like they didn't stamp it. I see a couple other examples on ebay now.

There are a bunch that are stamped though, thats the weird part. Wonder if its another huge QC error and a bunch got out that should have had the english back OR if a bunch didnt get stamped and there are really /45 and /75 or each (even if there arent that many stamped).

crdbored · 10-16-2024, 11:18 AM

Wow, these are likely "base cards" that came out of the base slot BUT I see both English and French backs so why would they have both if it does come out the base slot.

Funny enough, this is the same card #20 with the NBA Logos on the /15 Specimen parallel.

Topps QC at its finest.

Bob Ross · 10-16-2024, 11:20 AM

Why would they waste the time to QC an $8000 box?
