Same story, different product. 12 boxes in a case, 2 will be good, 2 will be mid and the rest will be junk.

How much was this direct from Topps? Waited too long and it sold out...

EDIT saw it was 220ish from Topps UK before shipping, Customs fees ETC

That's always been the case with Star Wars products. If you don't hit a low numbered parallel, sketch or good auto you will lose.

Odds do seem better of getting a good box with this product. Only issue is all the creatures, vehicles and weapons don't help the base or parallel values.

Opened by Monty box. Dedra Meero Auto /50 and Purple foil sketch card. Assume this is a good one but probably one of the lower tier autos on the checklist.

You could say that's always been the case with Topps Chrome (including sports) and it'd still be true.

Always has been quite poor value, even before the pandemic, but chase cards have always kept people ripping.

Unless you get a box like MotorboatJones above, there is almost zero value in these (I do like the look of the base). I've been watching a case on Whatnot and boxes are absolutely brutal.

Ripped my MC box. Nothing too great from the numbered cards but hit an auto and sketch as well. Not the best of characters to hit but whatever. Still better than 4 #d cards and nothing else.

Default My Montgomery Box...

I thought I was special until I saw the previous posts. LOL
I haven't gone over all the inserts but the Mylaya card is a /25. Got a couple of /199s also.

Just realized this is damaged with the paper rolled up into the name. Damn, will Topps do anything?

Got my Monty box, one sketch and 4 high numbered cards. It's maybe a $50 sketch so still not a good value.

I watched a case break that was brutal. I think we'll see box prices plummet on these.

Are sketch cards paper? And are sketches confirmed 1/1?

The box contents might be trash (on average) but the box has a premium look/feel to them lol.

Got my Monty box and opened it. I think I did well which is very unusual from boxes I buy directly from Topps.

4 refractors - common
2 /199 - common
1 /50 - common
1 /25 - Yoda
1 Sketch - Yoda
1 Auto - Grand Admiral Thrawn

Almost all Yoda box. I do like the box.
