Those Acunas are going to keep rising. That is for sure.

So far I'd say that the condition of the 1985s are better than years best. Not as easily damaged when placing in sleeve. But centering is definitely an issue.

[LittleJimmies]

Opened my 5. Nothing very good, but a fun time none the less. Condition does look much better this year, and the cards have more gloss. Got 1/1's in my first 2 packs, Kurt Suzuki and Ryan Zimmerman. So if any Nats fans are looking to build the platinum team set, I'm your guy!

And if anyone is trying to build the set, let me know and I can send all my base your way for cheap.

That would mean 81 whites, 25 pinks, and 1 gray for each 1985 subject, or a ratio of roughly three whites per pink. Yet looking at EBay listings, it appears as if there are far more pinks than whites, which would be in line with past years.

Can someone who has opened a large enough sample size post their ratio of pink 85's to white 85's?

Opened 10 packs.

18 whites and no pinks.

FedEx delivered mine somewhere other than my home. Have a feeling this won't end well. Never good when shows delivered and never was.

I've had that happen to me before and it arrived the following day. I was sweating it out pretty hard but it showed up the next day.

May just be an overzealous driver trying to maintain his numbers or something. I don't know.

My neighbor actually brought it over today, I was beyond grateful. 3rd time since Xmas FedEx has delivered a package of mine to the neighbors(3 different houses). They stink ALMOST as bad as USPS has lately.

They are using contractors for many residential deliveries these days. Whatever map tools they use really suck.

[Brian S]

Anyone want to move some base or pinks cheap please shoot me a DM

I only got one pack this year and pulled a Harper pink. Nothing else worth mentioning.

Is your house number obvious? Might need it on your mailbox or larger/lights on it then

[oldgoldy97]

This week my folks redelivered a FedEx package that was left at their house to someone a couple miles away on a totally different street.

[mwheeler27]

A few months ago, my wife and I traveled 20 miles to pick up a FedEx package left at someone’s house with a completely different name than ours in a completely different town. That home owner recognized my wife on FB and reached out to her letting us know she had our package. That was after first contacting FedEx, and they weren’t going to do anything about it, supposedly.

Now tell me how THAT happened.

[13CardinalsFan]

Got my order of 25 packs of mini's in today. What a fun break. Here is the breakdown:

Auto-Toro
Platinum 1/1- Paddack, Willi Castro rookie, 1985 Devers
Reds numbered to /5 we got 6. Nothing of note
Blues numbered to /10 we got 16. 2 different Molina's, Freeman, Fried and Kim rookie
Pinks numbered to /25 we got 50. May RC, Hillard RC, 8-1985 inserts including Alvarez and Tatis.
Shorts prints:Trout #1, Ozzie x2, Brock, Ripken were the highlights.
Super Short Prints: Bichette RC #78, Aaron #482, Ruth #U-52
Regular 1985's we got 40.

Again very fun rip. We did get lot of multiple of the same cards though. Collation on the singles was poor.

Large reflective numbers on the box. Also printed on the street for emergency purposes. They have no excuse.

[bbteamw]

Has anyone seen a checklist for the SPs/SSPs?

Thanks.

[mfw13]

Centering on the 85's seems to be pretty poor...

[no10pin]

Opened my 20 tonight, nothing major of note really except for some photo variations.

I see prices are pretty decent on them, but I have no idea how rare they are. I have 4 different codes in the 8 SPs that I have. I know it's been asked before, but has anyone been able to make heads or tails on how rare any of the codes are? I have a Harper that I don't see any other copies of on eBay yet, that one is code 037285.

The codes on the mini's match whichever series they are from. Check the codes from each of the 3 and your sp's and ssp's will match those.

Example I got the Bichette #78 SSP. The code on the mini is the same as the Series 1 card.

Gotcha, thank you!

Thank you. There's absolutely no way I ever would have figured that out.

Interested in Kevin Cron and Adam Engel cards if anyone gets any.
