I've seen similar merry-go-rounds, even with regular Fedex, too but never so bad. Good luck to anyone ordering from Topps especially closer to the holidays

I'm actually just waiting on a couple cards to come in ... one of them from Canada, going on 4 weeks now. :/

My box consisted of these mini diamonds:
Hiura, Yelich, Sonny Gray, and Giolito.

Also pulled a Tanner Houck Mini Diamond Auto.

Would anyone want to swap any of the parallels for a Pujols one? Or any Cardinals honestly.

I had a shipment for replacement cards several months back that was sent from Ohio and supposed to go to Scranton, PA. Ended up managing to get onto a truck headed to Sarasota or somewhere thereabouts, bounced over to some other facility in FL, and then finally back up north and over to PA after 2 weeks or so. Come to think of it, I think that was USPS, but lots of fun tracking that one in any case. Ah, those good ol' package (mis)handlers...

Probably sometime this month but Baller chrome could come out before TCS. Really curious if Topps keeps the price at $300.

I got another 3 blasters from Target that arrived today. The first one was horrible and didn't have a single rookie card! Not even a base card of a rookie pitcher I've never heard of. It was all veteran base, veteran common parallels, and inserts.

The second one was average with a handful of base rookies, a veteran negative refractor, and inserts of Trout & Ohtani.

I almost put the third one in my closet with my sealed wax, but decided to go ahead and rip it and I'm glad I did! That one had a Yordan Alvarez gold refractor /50, Xander Bogarts magenta refractor /399, Jazz Chisholm sepia refractor, and Joey Bart prism refractor! I've seen hobby boxes with less color than that.

[eastbayak]

Just ripped 1 lite box.

Honestly didn't expect to hit a serial-numbered card but ended up with 4 (if you count the printing plate of Jazz). The bottom row are numbered (Acuna /99, Pujols /199, Tejeda /350).

It was a pretty fun break too!

Kelenic autos being shipped out. Just got notification for mine

[Minelayer]

Although sold out the Megas are listed on the Walmart site. Does anyone know if they ever went live?

I have seen the megas in stock by third party sellers. The picture currently used does not look like a picture WM would use for the product. Sure it is from another vendor.

Does the price point at least seem correct? Doesnt seem too far off considering Bowman Platinum Megas are going for the same price.

[ItsMeJordanD]

I haven't tried looking for mega boxes on Walmart's site, but I bought one in-store and the price was around $56 or something like that.

I found a couple at Walmart a few weeks back, and I think they were $59 each.

[trouts2]

Just wanted to show off a mail day. I really wish his SP base card surfaced but I guess it was never created. Both of these are off at PSA.

For what it’s worth, and if it hasn’t been mentioned already, Chrome is back in stock at Target online and they have a 25% off promotion for Toys which covers cards if you search the wallet feature in the app and filter it to collectible trading cards and then by MLB.

The promo wont show up at check-out because of a bug, so you’ll have to call or chat with CS and provide them with the order number to receive the discount. Just placed an order and got my refund confirmation email.

What’s print run on sp’s?

[Mister2Bits]

Snagged this out of a 5 pack rip yesterday. I've read the threads on both chrome and chrome lite and come to the consensus that its definitely a SP but was there ever a determination of the print run on the mini diamond refractor autos? /25? /50?



I could only see one sale on eBay in the $400 range.

Apologies if it's been discussed, I did read through but didnt see anything.
