IF I were Fanatics, I could really put on a good show by doing a "live" online drawing for all of the autos and parallels..the Durants, the Currys, and then the biggest of them all, the triple..

Do it live on YouTube, print out tickets with everyone's name/account on them that ordered the cards..draw the tickets out like local lotteries do for the pick 3/pick 4 numbers on TV. Start with the parallels numbered out of 199, work your way down to the 1/1 parallel, then draw for the autos /10, /5, /1..they could go Durant cards first, then Curry cards, then the triple card. It would take a few hours, but it would be more fun on a Saturday night than watching someone break boxes of Pro Debut baseball. The viewership would be huge.
No way they would do this. It makes too much sense.

'the tallied numbers don't compute'

'are we sure the parallels aren't being withheld in the Smithsonian?'
'what if the hit packs are sonically resealed using alien vaporware tech?'


The hobby reaching RFK levels of 'Natics distrust and we ain't even halfway to Passover.


The offseason regular season we need; but don't deserve.

Hey I tried to get a summer thread about actual important games and players going, got one random comment about a Spurs game not in the compilation. Should have probably done a thread called Wemby Gone Wild.

While everyone is salivating over $1,800 Select football boxes I'm buying up key Nesmith rookie sparkle for $30 all in. Just saw the Jalen Smith Origins 1/1 booklet RPA go for $150. So much value if you take an ecosystem approach to collecting. People used to pay $200 for a Suns spot in an Origins break and are still doing the same with today's equivalent rookies.

Did the people who received their triple base, do you get tracking or did it just show up?

That’s not a good thing.

Also distinguishing a parallel card from a redemption card without opening the pack may be possible as well.

I’m guessing topps is doing this so they won’t be accused of playing favorites. Then again, they will still know who they are sending the one special pack to.
I am hopeful that any card in a pack is already in their single card plastic case.

I would sure think they would be smart enough to put a couple filler pieces in the foil packs

probably similiar to the Wemby alien card.... none of the early shipments had any... then a second wave of shipments went out and they flooded.

Someone just posted a Curry/James/Durant pack on a FB group. It was opened and contained a Cracked Ice parallel.

I think I'll watch the social medias for the next couple days and see if anybody pulls it. Build the anxiety...you know, like a sicko.

Now's the time to rip and list (unless you hit the 1/1).

If you don't hit the 1/1, you'll get an early premium sale.

And no point in flipping it sealed unless you're getting a 4-figure offer IMO, even then, hard to pass up the opportunity of possibly hitting a $500k+ card.

On a side note, I wonder how many packs were created. Probably hard to deduce if they added some non-numbered) parallels.

You're making too much sense, LOL. Stay tuned, I'll post whatever is inside. Unless it's the 1/1 and then I will go into hiding.

Hahaha! At least that's what I've told myself if I'm lucky enough to receive a pack (even if I miss out on the early listing premiums).

I hope you hit a nice card but don't hit the 1/1 (unless I don't get a pack, then hit whatever lol)! :P

Well, I hope you get a pack and it has something amazing in it. 1/1 still live…

Gonna stash this away in the PC.

Hahaha, odds are very unlikely that I'll get a pack. If I do though, I'll rip and share results on the thread.

Congrats on the nice PC addition, those rainbow foils are sexy.

The image variation looks way nicer than the base where each player has a border
