At least we know they do have oranges now, surprised it took so long for the witt and Julio oranges to surface!

Most of the boxes ordered on Topps site should be landing to the buyers in the next week or so. Will be interesting to see how much is ripped over the next few weeks and listed. I imagine quite a bit more will be ripped now that orange JRod autos are confirmed. At msrp, there will be more gamblers looking to hit those autos.

Will we see more of this being opened now that we know Pena auto is a redemption?

Got a box filled with rookie debut - Witt, Pena, Abrams, Thomas, Melendez, Lodolo. Also added base Suzuki and Greene rookies.



2 colors were Story Green /75 and Rogers Gold /50



And last but not least, a red Thomas auto in the last pack.



Topps has been very kind to me lately. Pulled a red Wander auto on my first Brooklyn box and a Miguel Cabrera /5 auto from my first Ginter X box. Not much point in ripping anymore when you know it’s all down hill from here.

Decided to rip one more for the heck of it.

Best base was a Hunter Greene debut

My two color were: Green Lorenzen /75 and a Purple Perdomo /10


And my bonus 3rd color had me seeing gold:


Common sense tells me stop immediately but man that’s going to be hard to do until I hit a couple bad boxes in a row.

Common sense? The card Gods have blessed you, my son. If you got 2 cases, go for an even 5!

Well, 3 days ago my boxes were in Indy. Now they're in Wisconsin.

I live in Chicago so the FedEx guy probably drove past my house to get to Wisconsin...

Yep. And, again, the auto 1/1s are superfractors, not padparadscha

New Berlin for the win! That's been FedEx's go-to route for all my boxes for the past year.

That's another beauty Clark! I'd be ripping until I hit at least 2 bad boxes in a row. This is where all the fun lives (in the rip)!! For me anyway.

My boxes have also been sitting New Berlin for 2 days and I live about 15 from there. I want to drive and get them!

The JRod orange auto is a much bigger draw than the redemption issue for Pena I think. The surfacing of the orange JRod auto means there are 24 more autos of JRod to be found in this product.

Really good to see that there are orange Julio autos.

That New Berlin facility is the Bermuda Triangle of the Midwest. Any time I have a package go there it either sits for a week+ or bounces between there and another facility for 1-2 weeks. Thankfully none of my stuff lately has been routed there from Chicago.

First off those threads are dumb and fake. Make $100k a day do they? So they’re banking over $200M a year right? The big boys who actually do make that don’t post #@#@#@#@ in forums. Yea I’m sure Cohen or Einhorn are on wsb lmao

And yea it does seem like some ppl on these forums are jealous of breakers, otherwise they wouldn’t be complaining about the money they charge. It doesn’t concern you how much money they’re making off breaks. If ppl are willing to pay up then more power to them. Who the heck cares.

[cj828282]

Three Julio purple 44s have been hit so far. Seems like product is getting opened pretty good. Has there even been one purple hit from 2022 TCS?

Not beyond the realm of possibility for some investors if they're not claiming to do that every day.

Anyway, if you've been reading the forum for a while you'll notice that breakers aren't exactly popular around here. They're basically the boogeyman and blamed for high wax prices. That's not my opinion but it is a common one.

Opened my 2 cases. Was a VERY fun rip but my color was not very strong. Pulled the following..

Best Color

Orange Pena/25
Green Pena/75
Chris Bassitt Padparadscha 1/1
Jake Walsh orange /25 RC
Ethan Roberts Gold /50 RC
Reid Deemers Gold /50 RC
Gabriel Arias Gold /50 RC
McKenzie Gore Gold /50

Pulled 43 hits so +3 on average. No autos.
1 Padparadscha
2 Red- no names
1 purple- no name
6 orange
14 gold
19 green

4 Julio, 2 RC & 2 RD
4 Witt 2 RC & 2 RD
5 Tork 3 RC & 2 RD
2 Pena base RC
Other RC’s on average were the same 3-4 on average.

Another positive, I was able to complete a set.

My QC was all over the board. 70% I would say were pretty good, 80/20 or so while another 30% or so was fairly bad 70/30 or worse.

I guess I should have said the names weren’t very good..

3 boxes had 1. A few had 3 and 1 had 4.

2 Penas? That's a top 3 name in this product. Your color was just fine (not to mention a couple other B-level rookies).

What is everyones favorite color parallel in this product? I think my favorite is gold. I know there are lower numbered colors, but the gold really pops in the sapphire!
