Huh, seems like they canceled my order. It never shipped. Oh well, seems like that was kind of lucky.

That’s weird. They are in stock now and have been for a couple days. BO stopped buying them up, so they sit there. I think its funny whoever was in charge of putting these together probably scrambled to get all kinds of packs together and bought thousands of packs because BO was buying these all up. Now BO has stopped buying them and they are stuck now with 1000s of packs that are worthless!

I bet if we wait long enough this will jump to 100 packs for $20!

I ate my 89 Bowman gum this week. No issues!

This one feels more like they're scouring their warehouse to find packs for lots wherever they're putting them together. That said, I have two incoming to see if I land something. We'll see.

I haven't bought any of these but I randomly bought one of the repack boxes from Target a couple years ago. All junk except 1 pack of 2014 Topps Update, which contained a Mookie Betts SSP)

Most of the pictures in this thread are of the packs, but where are the pictures of the good cards being pulled? Where are the base update rookies? Nobody has said they pulled anything good. I'd even take decent.

I've opened about half of my stash of 2 of these and I opened a 2008 Topps Opening Day pack with a Steve Pearce RC so take that lol , but seriously you probably aren't hitting more than a $3 card outta these.

I pulled a few base Trouts in the dollar store packs. Best card (to me) was the 1992 Upper Deck Manny Ramirez RC for the PC, but that's about it. I paid for the nostalgia, not for the hits, and got what I paid for.

Read 'em and weep. Opened up my two orders tonight. I put the best card on top for each set (combined S1/2 Flagships).

Only trading to complete my puzzle sets. PM works best.

I'm starting to wonder how much of the packs and cards are repurchased in lots and get recycled and go through a repack again.

Best card I have hit so far is a Betts rookie debut. This was in the last wave (I think wave 5 of orders). I will tell more about my box later, but in general same as everyone else. Will probably call it quits for awhile on these.

Buzz, were your 2014 updates in a seperate plastic package along with one or two other packs. Probably a junk wax and a 2006 hanger?

Yep. Pretty uneventful packs, too.

The wife and I just finished opening our two orders. It was about 60% dollar store packs from 2014-2017, 15% 80s-90s junk wax, and 25% fun stuff like 07-08 Upper Deck and mid-aughts Topps stuff. Took a few pictures of some of the better stuff.







And who says you can’t get hits out of these?!?!

Haha that’s where this one is going, straight to the PC. It was out of Fleer Ultra 2006. Looks like they can be had for pretty cheap on eBay though.
