How about the slow roll of pulling a Matt Thaiss auto ? Angel whose signature is basically a copy of trouts . That’d be tough to see

Circling back on this regarding the hanger boxes, but they're going (and selling) for $20 on eBay, which is stupid. Also, out of stock on Walmart.com as of today. Missed that bus...

Hello everyone, first ever post. I was wondering if anybody else has had this issue. I bought a case of S2 hobby and opened the first 2 boxes and received a pack of two chrome Decades Best cards in each box. No silver pack. My understanding was hobby got the silver pack and jumbo got one of each. I've read this entire thread and no one else has mentioned this so I'm thinking I'm the only one with this issue or I'm missing something in the writeups for S2 hobby. Any thoughts/info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sold at auction for $360 last night. Unbelievable. As a Cutch collector that’s great And I love this card but also as a Cutch collector Thats horrible. I know that’s like a $15-$20 card at best but the hype machine is going to kill it as an affordable card.

Yeah.. Topps screwed up.

So far you’re the only person I’ve heard of with this problem

Great, I feel special.

I appreciate the response. Thanks!

Just opened 1 jumbo and 2 hobby (that's all I was allocated from an order of a case of each... first time I've ever been allocated on S1/S2).

I pulled ZERO Roberts base across all 3 boxes. Did pull 1x 1985 insert and 1x Silver pack.

My jumbo box had 2 silver packs + 1 Decade's best chrome pack. The chrome pack yielded a Gold Refractor /50 Killebrew.

Best hit was for sure a Reverance Auto Patch /10 of Lindor. I love the look of these each year. Call me crazy, but IMHO they rival Dynasty for appearance.

Is this showing up at retail yet?

To follow up on our Hobby Case. We had from 4-22 copies of the 350 cards. As stated earlier only 5 Robert. Over 1/3 of the list we only have 5 or less copies. So the best I can do is 5 sets. Up until last year I could count on 10 sets from a Hobby case with a master set included. None of the copies with 18-22 cards are rookies or star cards.

Hopefully Topps can get their act together in the future, But it would be a surprise if they do.

Brent is reporting major pack out issues.

RaceDog · 06-28-2020, 10:18 AM

Collation was terrible on my 2 Jumbo cases. At least my Robert #'s were normal...I ended up with 15 or so over the 2 cases.

I apologize for my lingo ignorance. Does "pack out issues" mean defects or collation, or both?

Collation in this case

Tampa Joe · 06-28-2020, 12:31 PM

Oddly enough, when I opened my jumbo, I missed the autograph card by mistake as it was in the 1985 insert spot whereas the SP Josh Hader was flipped backwards in the middle of the pack. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't understand how this SP is selling this high lol. Did Brent get paid for his auction?

Well people are paying stupid money for the Luis Robert SSP so who knows.

arod305 · 06-28-2020, 12:49 PM

Whats the verdict? Jumbo cases for $800 good buy or no? Yes, I know what the major retailers are selling them for

Between the collation issues, pack out issues on hits and parallels, and weak checklist, I don't know if I'd touch it at 600, let alone 800.

Hit a silver pack red refractor.

Slow rolled and saw it was White Sox... then saw it was an auto....

Eloy Jimenez. Still a good hit, but not the one I wanted

Stech36 · 06-28-2020, 04:05 PM

Apparently this is the SSSSSSP

Both of the cards or just the one with Luis alone?

The Rookie Stars is the SSSP. The Luis is his regular SP.
