I also bought 2 cases on 11/17. Paid for slowest shipping. My cases also both sit in Sacramento.

After all the repeat comments about how it doesn't matter which you pay for, I won't pay for anything more than I have to because this seems to always happen. And FedEx is a big part of the problem.

If anyone opens up a Schwarber Wave or Red parallel, hit me up and we can work something out.

My first of two shipments from Topps, ordered 11/17 and sent FedEx was originally scheduled for Thanksgiving, 11/25. Then it got pushed to 11/29. Now it's 12/2. Has been stuck in Sacramento since 11/25. Second order got to Sac on 11/28. No movement either.

FedEx is truly a mess right now.

My case finally showed up yesterday - it was not sealed as they opened it to put the invoice inside.

BUT more importantly you ordered 16 and got an actual case, yes? That's what I'm hoping for.

The exterior box showed a case, so I assume there wasn't any box juggling.

Man there have been barely any 1991 autos that have shown up so far. These things are rare. Wonder if they'll be highly collectable down the road? I'm still hoping to score a Lou Rob, but so far I've only seen 2 reds, that's it. I wonder if he has a base auto #/15

I've opened 33 boxes now - no 1991 autos. Did hit some nice ones - Adell Red /5, Ripken Star Signings /25, Juan Soto /25, Judge Beam Team /15, Nelson Cruz Red /5

One of the nicest looking sets all year.

I see the ones that have popped up are /15.
I was going off the actual Topps sell sheet where it says “numbered to 10 or less”.

Ya I wonder if that has changed? So far I see that Trout, Alonso and Soto are #/15. I haven't seen an Acuna or Lou Rob yet. Forget who else is in the set. Either way that Griffey is going to be sickkkk

Judge might be a redemption - his Beam Team is.

So.

I pulled this in box one, before the Griffey:


So far, after that, a Whitlock auto, and the Griffey '91 Auto, I'm thinking, doing pretty well and this case definitely is a full win no matter what. I stopped after box 6 for awhile then picked up the break again.

Ho hum for a while, nothing great. Got a Gerrit Cole VR red /5 in there. Pretty good, as a Yankee fan.

Then in box 13, this happened:



I think, without hyperbole, this might be the best SC Chrome case out there.

Wonder what happens in the last 3 boxes! And do I even bother opening the next case when it arrives??
