My 2nd pack pulled one. Yeah the odds are better than most products. I definitely beat them with an auto and a 1/1. Shame it’s an average player. These cards are beautiful in person. Well done Topps

FWIW (max) print run on this is 9950 boxes.

How many boxes are there? And how does it compare to Sapphire, for example. I’ve seen speculation in this thread- any more certainty. I will say the number of supers surfacing is surprising.

No real rhyme or reason to the selection it seems. Which makes me happy

So we have:

17 Group 1's ... 3 received the email (myself included), 14 did not
1 Group 21 ... 1 received the email

So strange.

If you’re having trouble ordering, make sure you log out completely from Topps and then log back in. This worked for me (ordered from a phone)

What happens if they’re not all sold in 48 hours? Wonder who the extras are sold to.

Seems like more than 20% of people saying they got them. At any rate, I like this so much better. Don't have to waste my day refreshing a broken website just to be left emptyhanded.

On the one hand, I'm thinking to myself that's spurious correlation...but on the other hand...

I'm betting distributors will get their hands on some. Just like Sapphire

Don't give up hope. I was in group 1 but just received the winner email at 4:37 (27 minutes ago). I use GMail, and it was in my Promotions folder.

It's certainly not enough data to settle on a percentage, but it's more than enough to note that not everyone who signed up is going to get boxes (Capt. Obvious here).
