Yes. They are detailed on the sell sheet

Anyone's M&N boxes (from Topps' website/release) actually ship yet? My shipping label was created yesterday, but FedEx is not in possession of them as of yet? Curiously enough, however, my regular A&G boxes from preorder, shipped out @ 12.27 CST, yesterday,...and are already Out For Delivery, here in NJ!?

My info has M&N boxes delivered Thursday.

baseballguy350 · 12-02-2025, 10:45 AM

M&N still live, but Topps cancelling any orders beyond the 5 box limit. I tried to add a couple more.

Sealed cases were available from their other retailers, only Topps site directly limiting to 5

Yeah, figured so. It's just that the limit 5 to the general public seems strangely low if sellers getting tons for less through other channels are just going to throw them on eBay hoping to net MSRP.

mikejones · 12-02-2025, 01:26 PM

I got tracking last night. Now says out for delivery when it was scanned in Texas around 2 pm yesterday. That's pretty fast for fedex standards.

jgolf1 · 12-02-2025, 01:31 PM

Just opened my first box and got a James Wood /199 rip card, Judge mem card and a Ozzie Smith Orange /25. Happy so far

Hollywood42 · 12-02-2025, 01:37 PM

My 2 boxes arrived! Won't have time to open them until tonight. But I already love this year's packaging. The last several felt super cheap with flimsy cardboard and none of the care that was put into the earlier year's boxes. This year's is a huge step back in the right direction again and honestly makes a difference to me

Where did you see sealed cases? MN and Topps are the only places I even saw it for sale and neither had cases available.

cjraleigh · 12-02-2025, 02:48 PM

Here's a tin type. Looks great.

I swear Topps juices the first wave of every product.

Stryker pulls a Yamamoto auto /25 in his second pack. You can't make this sh!t up!

Not really indicative of anything. First off, Stryker was pulling from the bottom of the stack. Actually because of the way he pulled the packs, it was third from the bottom on one of the sides.

I've already seen other postings where pretty nice cards were pulled out of only a few boxes, including a blue framed Sandberg auto and one box with two autos AND a Daguero or whatever its called redemption. These were normal collectors, not breakers. Its not juiced, just the way things happen. Odds and variance is all.

Understood, it’s just annoying watching boxes opened while I still don’t have tracking.

AJNICK23 · 12-02-2025, 04:05 PM

Has anyone seen someone pull the Al Pacino? Really curious to see how it looks and if the auto is actually live rather than an redemption

PoPCulture · 12-02-2025, 04:20 PM

Mine shipped yesterday and somehow delivered today. I have never received anything next day from Texas from Topps. Anyway, the last box had a redemption for a base card Draguerreotype variation. I see them on the checklist but or course odds haven’t been posted yet. Does anyone know what this is? Similar to a tin type maybe?

njsportscardguy · 12-02-2025, 04:21 PM

I think that I just received a..."certified, game used DNA sample" of FF5! I'm virtually certain that it's not dirt/clay, so unless there was some sort of chemical reaction between the adhesive & the fabric, I'm pretty sure this blood!

I attempted to sharpen-up the second image, but not too sure that I did it any justice...? In person, it DEFINITELY appears to present as [possibly] blood.
