He's ripping two now. Nothing, few refractors and a base Wander.

A little after midnight here in Tempe, AZ. Still no ESP J-Rod on eBay. I'm going to have the lol of all lolz when it turns out Topps didn't even put the ESP in the Silver Pack.

There are four J-Rod Logofractors listed right now. That's probably because more of those boxes are being opened today, but what if one or two of them came from a Silver Pack?

They exist. Just not on ebay yet.

IMO the logofractor picture is way better.

Is this the infamous card #222?

They went from “what’s a Logofractor?” to Collector favorite within a few weeks. I think they’re awesome ( as I’ve not been shy with sharing )

Agreed, this photo looks like he's being intentionally walked, where the logofractor image looks like he's about to increase his SLG%

The Witt was pulled as well:

Was anyone else surprised that the ESPs coming from the silver packs were Refractors? Not sure what that means, but something still seems a little off to me about the fact that we still haven’t seen a ‘base’ ESP…

It’s starting to look like a base ssp doesn’t exist.

Thus, these ssp rookies don’t belong to the complete set of 220, as they are more inserts than base cards.

Not surprised. I’ve said from the jump that these were probably refractor finishes with no parallels. This is what Topps frequently does with extended base.

Edit - never mind.

Hmmm... not sure I am catching the celery notes. Do you scrape off the coating and snort it or just try to sniff the card?

Was on the fence before and when I decided to buy a box it just sold out. But they do look cool for sure. Wonder if they will do something like that (a film) on the paper cards next year for Flagship.

jrubbo23 · 10-06-2022, 09:03 AM

All SP's are refractors. At least they were in last year's Chrome.

Weeks? It didn't even take one.

SupermanBrandon · 10-06-2022, 09:43 AM

Honestly...is anyone even opening TC at this point? At the current price point and nearly zero percent of hitting something worthy...plus the new shine of Silver Packs, LogoFractors and Sonic The Hedgehog...TC is a complete flop. I would think...if there's a parallel of a vet or something you need for the PC, that's not a base...you need to pick up the first one you can find. The odds are not in anyone's favor.

Gotta get like a fat stack of them together for the olfactory goodness to hit.

I'm sure somebody is. Like those Japanese soldiers still stranded on remote Pacific islands who don't know WWII is over.

If ya didn't, ya should've listened
