My case arrives on Friday...once I open it, I'll know which teams I still need....

If anyone wants to move duplicate pulls of some of the comic cards let me know. I'm looking for Michael Harris, Corbin Carroll and Aaron Judge. I would eBay but it costs $15-20 in shipping per purchase.

Love this stuff. The Dual Autos are my favorite

[JimEd14]

That Yoshida/Ichiro 1/1 is insane. Love that.

From what I've seen on streams, these packs look BRUTAL to physically open.

Anybody know what size the team postcards are? I'm heading to my LCS soon and want to pick up the correct-size sheets....are they 3x5, 4x6, 5x7 or something completely random?

Here's side by side comparison.

What a fun rip.
The highlight was a card that had Corbin Carroll on one side and Michael Harris on the other (and also a regular 1965 Carroll rookie).
My auto was JJ Bleday.

5 1/4 high by a little under 3 3/4 wide.

Thanks....guess that means 4x6 pages/holders....I think it's the same weird size as Heritage Box Toppers.....

I’m looking to add a base Volpe auto to my PC if someone is looking to move one. Willing to trade or buy if the price is reasonable

Funny you say that. Swung by my LCS this evening and grabbed a single Collector’s box…guy just randomly grabbed a box off the shelf for me…

[mfw13]

As was mentioned by someone upthread, my collectors case is also all Clemente tins....opened half the case so far, will open the other tomorrow.

So far, all my team postcards have dinged corners from sliding around in the tins, and quite a few cards also have print lines/soft corners/poor centering.

Not great quality control....

I got a Jackie Robinson Lunchbox. My Postcard, though was slightly dinged on a couple of corners as well, but my base and other cards all looked really good.

Here was my overall Collector’s box break for those interested:

[spmgeaux]

Big bummer on cases being all of the same player. I bought a case of ten to split among my three boys for Christmas, felt like there would at least be enough variety for each to get 2 different lunchboxes. So, I’m sitting on apparently 10 Clemente lunch boxes - if anyone would be up to trade some empty non-Clemente lunchboxes, let me know!

[STLtoMN]

got the same auto twice in my hobby box (tyler stephenson)... ughh...

did well otherwise though with a Jordan Walker Inverted /50

[mfw13]

Finished opening my collector's case, and I'd give it a four on a scale of 1-10.

Big hits were a Chipper Jones/Andruw Jones Doubleheader auto, a Carroll Green Doubleheader #/99, and a Trout Red Foil #/50.

However, seemed to get shorted most of the base card variations (all 1:31)....only 1 white back, 1 inverted, and 0 "1st Year Foil". Should have gotten 9-10 total instead of just 2.

Pulled 14 color parallels total, but there's no odds on those, so I'm not sure whether that's good or bad for a collector's case.

Eight out of the ten autos were Fan Favorites, when the odds dictated that I should have pulled 6-7.

What was the lunchbox breakdown for you ?

Looking at the postcard in the pic. As a Royals fan, very disappointed in the effort by Topps. Apparently they decided 8 of the 11 spots should be made up of the current Royals team that lost a franchise record 106 games???
