Yep. Base cards are the same team/image as in paper Update (so pre-trade), but the auto cards reflect the Soto/Abrams+Gore(+other guys not in the set) trade.

Thank you all! As I was ripping these I was happy I wasn’t getting many duplicates, but the color the first 9 boxes was killing me. I’ll take that to end it any day that ends in Y!

We have a small sample size, but it feels like all the cases have 1 big hit. Interested to know if anyone has opened a case and gotten skunked???

Congrats on your Witt auto! Glad you were able to open all 10 boxes and not sell half.

- Orange /25 - Luplow, Jarren Duran RD, Brosseau
- Gold /50 - Hillard, Kris Bryant, Jose Iglesias, Japan Legends, Sears, Paddack
- Green /99 - Pujols, Last Dance, Eduardo Rodriguez, Paddack, Rivalry Love, Stott RD, Olson, Lugo, Walsh RC, Familia
- Base - JRod, JRod Debut. Witt x 2, Pena x2, Witt RD, Suzuki, Franco RD, etc, etc.

Overall, probably would have broken even or better without the Witt Auto /10, but that clearly crrushed it. Image again just because....

I’ve thought this, too. My case should arrive tomorrow, so I might just break it to see

I saw earlier in the morning that Fedex changed the status to out for delivery. While I was out, Fedex status changed to "Pending". That's not good... Anyway, when I got home the packages did arrive.

Box 1 was not that great but it also was not the worst. It had 3 colors. But QC on these cards were pretty bad. Most were like warped...

Base: S. Suzuki RD
Green: L Jackson
Gold: C Correa
Orange: White Sox Combo Rookie

No sightings of Jrod, B Witt, Autos...

This guy opened a 10-box case and pulled a superfractor, a seiya suzuki green /75, and a red Abrams auto /5

And this one pulled a Peña orange /25

I can't believe that each box is progressively getting worst.

Absolutely no notable rookies in the base
Green - A Faedo
Orange - H Ramos

Almost a case - 9 boxes. It was supposed to be one order that ended up being 3 different orders due to Topps website.

Box 4 was little bit better than box 3.

Base - J Duran RD
Green: Pujos - 9th all time
Purple - J Pederson

Still no sighting of JRod/B Witt/auto at all.

Box 5 was better with the base but crappy colors.
Base - Finally J Rod and S Kwan in the same box. Another MVP Caliber.
Green - R Urias
Gold: H Ramos. Now I have Orange/Gold. Hopefully he will become good player even though he plays for giants...

I just opened the 8 boxes I ordered. No autos, but I think I did pretty decent.



Got 3 purples in total in the 8 boxes, and 1 orange. Two of the boxes had 3 hits.

1x Julio base
3x Witt base
2x Pena base
2x Wander
1x Kwan base

I didn't get any rookie debuts of the big 3, which is fine since I got a lot of the base cards. Also didn't get a single Torkelson or Hunter Greene. (In the last box I saw an orange, slow rolled it to see a Reds logo, and slow rolled it to see the name Hunter. I was like "Hell yes! Hunter Greene orange!". Nope, Hunter Strickland.)

And so it starts…..

I sent the card off to eBay authenticators, I should be in the clear right? eBay’s tightened up with buyers remorse purchases I’ve heard.
