Let's keep an eye on the Rochester-packs vs. the other places...

Good info to know if deciding on future purchases.

I opened 100 packs from Rochester today. There wasn't a ton of junk wax (outside of the packs in the middle of those cubes). Lots of dollar store Topps packs as posted earlier, a couple of 2008 Bowman Chrome packs, 2008 UD Series 2, (2) 2008 UD Masterpieces, and a pack of 2008 SP Authentic. Notable hits:

2005 Topps Bazooka Harold Baines Game Used Bat
2007 TriStar Prospects PLUS Anthony Rizzo
2013 Topps Mike Trout
2013 Topps Bryce Harper
2008 UD Derek Jeter StarQuest Uncommon
2004 Topps Dan Haren Gold /2004
2010 Topps Vicente Padilla Gold /2010
2010 Topps Micah Owings Gold /2010
1991 Upper Deck Sammy Sosa RC
1991 Upper Deck Rookie Threats Jeff Bagwell, Luis Gonzalez, Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes

I also got (2) 1989 Bowman packs (no Griffey) and about 6 or so 1991 Fleer Ultra packs that were packed in with the dollar store Topps packs. Not a bad break for $40!

I got my two orders from Rochester today. Out of my 100 packs, I got about 16 packs of interesting stuff like ‘07 Upper Deck and mid-aughts Topps flagship and opening day. The rest was made up of dollar store packs and Fleer/Score/Donruss wax packs.

Some of the better RCs:
Starlin Castro
Kyle Schwarber
Kris Bryant
Ryan Zimmerman
Jon Papelbon x 2
Deion Sanders
Al Leiter x 2
Jorge Soler
Hisashi Iwakuma
Orlando Arcia
Jesus Aguilar
David Dahl
Trey Mancini
Adam Greenberg aka Moonlight Graham

And then this shiny fella from Tristar Projections



Overall, my wife and I had fun, but probably not as much fun as those folks that pulled Griffey rookies.

Yes, like having someone from the West coast order for us and then send it out to us! LOL

That’s not bad for $40. I would not be that upset about it, especially when you hit a HOF Relic. May still only be a $3 Relic, but still HOF. The only upsetting part is what west coast is getting compared to east coast .

I’m in Champaign and mine was Rochester so I’d assume so.

Has anyone gotten any of the 2012 Topps Chrome or 2012 Bowman packs from Rochester? I don't believe so but wanted to double check.

Yes, my 2 box order was from Rochester and had 2 2012 Topps Chrome packs. We'll see what the other 2 Jones have tomorrow, which are also from Rochester

Ordered two which arrived today (from Rochester). No 2012 Bowman or Chrome. Nothing spectacular pack wise but hit a couple decent rookies. Unfortunately edge wear was an issue on some. Below are the packs and the best cards.

I received my 2 today. Label says it came from Bentonville. I only had 30 loose packs. 3 each of the following:
2015 Topps Series 1, Series 2, Update
2016 Topps Series 1, Series 2
2017 Topps Series 1, Series 2, Update
2015 Topps Archives
1991 Fleer Ultra

The rest were blisters with 1-3 packs and 3 10-pack boxes. There were 5 packs of 2012 Bowman, 1 3-card pack of 2008 Bowman Chrome, 2 7-card pack of 2007 Bowman draft Picks & Prospects, 1 8-card pack of a mix of 2008 Topps Update and Highlights (2 cards) and Heritage High Number (6 cards), 1 12-card pack of 2007 Topps Update, 2 12-card packs of 2008 Topps Update, and a mix of other stuff. I'll problem open most this weekend with a few packs here and there until then.

Same my last order looked exactly like that, which is why I haven't gone back to the well.

2008 Topps Steve Pearce RC and an Obama Insert
2006 Topps Ryan Zimmerman RC

Just got my two from Rochester delivered, not as good as the previous 2, a lot more junk wax, no chrome packs, but still looks like it'll be fun, and could get some nice rookies. The 4 boxes look to all contain junk wax, but one of them is a multisport chase box, which I wasn't expecting.

Yep, LOTS more wax this go around. Wife and I will try to open everything tonight, and I'll try to list all the packs, but it took awhile last time, so we'll see.

What a random assortment from the chase box. Actually looks a lot of fun to me BECAUSE it's so random and covers multiple sports. Anyone see anything good?
