2 boxes nothing of note except a Steve Garvey autograph. Good reminder that Ginter is a brutal rip by the box

Yikes. Yep, always so torn between a product that is cost effective for personal boxes (i.e. Ginter, Flagship) where it is so easy to get skunked vs. high end stuff where you are more likely but not promised some modicum of value (Gilded, Sapphire stuff etc).

Flagship and Ginter >>>>> higher end stuff, but only if you buy by the case

Pretty much everything is a brutal rip these days given where box prices are.....

At least you pulled an auto.

Tim Robinson autographs already under $400

product is toast on release day

People need to give up on the dream of making money breaking boxes

Or rather, maybe a better statement is that how good a product is should not be solely dictated by each pack/box/case's ROI

[Triggwildcat]

Grabbed a couple boxes for fun. Best hits were a Tim Raines auto, Mickey Mantle refractor, and a scratch the itch mini. Don't think I'm going to end up finishing the set so if anyone needs, base, mini, etc, send me a pm

That is what fanatics has turned the industry into. A giant casino.

I haven't opened any wax this year except for a handful of blasters.

My case was ok. But I love Ginter so it’s not really about the ROI. I go into it I’m losing 75%. I just enjoy having it be a starter for building my sets, etc. BUT My case yielded the following autos: Darryl Strawberry /25, Fergie Jenkins, Basabe, Ivan Rodriguez, Scott Rolen, Alex Sarr (2nd overall pick in NBA draft?), and that Bee keeper girl. Seven autos is pretty decent. I keep the non MLB autos so selling the others. I got the usual the case hits etc

[notfast]

Any idea what the non baseball “framed mini silver frame black” would be numbered too?

Assume these look like ginter X and will be to 25?

Correct those 1-2 dollar relic cards always hurt especially when 75 percent of hits are them

Only way to save yourself is rip and list ALL cards within a week


Once hype dies down so does comps by like 50 percent t

Oh man, my second and final box did not disappoint! My first hit - Danielle Fishel, aka Topanga Lawrence, autograph




Second hit, always sweet to get a Hall of Famer relic




And lastly, a bonus hit in the pack I saved for last - Jackson Holliday silk /10!

Hit this. Pretty happy because I just wanted the oddball cheaper stuff.

[patchgenie]

I got an auto, Cody Bellinger rip card /199, David Ortiz relic, skenes mini rc, 4 x-ray cards. this is from a silver foil hot box.

should I rip the Cody?

[timber63401]

Just busted my case. Fun rip as usual. Id say it will be a above average case probably just a small loser which Ill take everyday of the week. Most the numbered stuff was of wrong people. I think the Chrome cards really add value and on negative side Topps QC could use some help. Several of my minis were mangled and 1 of my rip cards was scuffed up on the front. Have a ton to go back thru to see what I missed but here are the hits.

(7) Autos:

Owen White /25
Torii Hunter /25
Nicky Cass
Paul O'Neil
Colton Cowser
Nico Hoerner
Larry Walker

Other Big Hits

Framed Original Allen Ginter Flags of All Nations 1/1
Top Loader Rip Card Ernie Banks
Devers Silk /10
Stained Glass Gelof
Mark McGwire Rip /199
Gavin Williams Rop /199

Best Relics

Framed Rutschman Bat
Framed Harper Bat
Framed Betts Jersey
Betts Jersey
Freeman Jersey

I think you got 2 "A" cases, congrats!

Snagged a Probst auto which was my number one wanted Ginter auto. So thrilled they finally made it. I'm trying to think of who my new number one is for my Ginter wishlist. Carey Elwes and Many Patinkin are probably the right answer though.
