First Buzz: 2018 Topps Star Wars The Last Jedi Series 2 - Page 6

deeceman · 06-19-2018, 07:15 PM

Ok so I just finished the case.

It contained:

1 auto patch numbered 1/1
2 patches numbered /25
4 patches unnumbered
1 print plate numbered 1/1
1 costume relic numbered /99
7 unnumbered autos
2 autos numbered /99
1 auto numbered /25
1 auto numbered /10
6 sketches (one box had 2 of them but not stuck together they were in separate packs)

There were also 17 numbered insert cards ranging from /10 to /99 and 54 numbered base parallels ranging from /10 to /199

Still feel like a decent case by the end of it? Interested to know who the signed patch was.

A lot of people (including me) like the parallels to the base sets, but no one seems terribly interested in the parallels to the inserts....

jdhaugh11 · 06-19-2018, 07:27 PM

Wow you got 71 serial numbered parallel cards!
That is some added value as well.

deeceman · 06-19-2018, 07:37 PM

Am I allowed to post the case even though it’s early. It’s never happened to me before so I don’t know the etiquette and protocol lol.

I vote yes. I think your ok as long as not trying to sell yet. What say everyone else?

ForceChange77 · 06-19-2018, 07:42 PM

Sure you can post

Archifou · 06-19-2018, 07:46 PM

There are already a few cards on eBay

deeceman · 06-19-2018, 07:59 PM

Ok well as I’m trying to collate everything and have a lot of work ahead of me I’ll just write out the results in text form and I don’t have time to scan this second.

Costume Relic Captain Peavey 6/99
Yellow plate card #52 1/1
Sketches by Truong, Stevlic, Siong, Giles, Sobol, and what looks like Jonarton but I might be reading it wrong.
Regular patches of c3po, Paige, C’ai, Stormtrooper
Gold patches /25 of Poe and Ackbar
Regular autos:
Amanda Lawrence
Veronica Ngo
Jimmy Vee
Hermione Corfield
Tim Rose
Ian Whyte
Dave Chapman

Red autos /99:
Veronica Ngo
Ian Whyte

Silver Auto /25:
Joonas Suotamo

Gold Auto /10:
Adam Driver

Auto Patch Black 1/1:
Tim Rose

deeceman · 06-19-2018, 08:01 PM

Also pretty sure the Adam Driver is a photo variation because all the rest of the autos are A-x while his is AV- AD

PoPCulture · 06-19-2018, 08:05 PM

Looks like a nice case. Looking forward to the morning now. Jonarton does nice sketch cards. They usually look better in person than in photos.

deeceman · 06-19-2018, 08:09 PM

Quick observation: only 1 master is possible per case because of the odds on the stickers. I got a total of 18.

How was the collation? Knowing Topps, even with it being just a 10-card set, getting 18 is no guarantee you can actually make a complete set.

deeceman · 06-19-2018, 08:43 PM

K here’s my insert collation:

Items and Artifacts: 14 complete sets of 20, 8 towards a 15th set

Resistance: 14 complete sets of 10, 4 towards a 15th set

First Order: 7 complete sets of 10, 2 towards an 8th set

Vehicles: 3 complete sets of 10, 6 towards a 4th set

Stickers: 1 complete set of 10, 8 towards a 2nd set

Rey continuity: 2 complete sets of 5, 2 towards a 3rd set

Posters: 2 complete sets of 6

So collation at least in this case was perfect.

deeceman · 06-19-2018, 09:32 PM

OK- so I collated the blue parallels and I have a complete set of 100 but I also have 62 dupes for a total of 162 blues. By the odds of 1:2 packs I should only have 144 so 18 extra blues there. I have 72 different purple parallels which is spot on as those are 1:4 packs.

For reds (serial numbered to 199) the stated odds are 1:9 packs so by odds you should get 32 which I did so spot on once again.

For bronzes (serial numbered to 99) the stated odds are 1:19 packs so by odds you should get 15.15. I got 16.

For silvers (serial numbered to 25) stated odds are 1:72 so you should get 4 which I did.

Golds (serial numbered to 10) stated odds are 1:179 so you should get 1.6- I got 2.

I have to say that once again they made the card numbering super hard to read- the font is incredibly frustrating and slows collating down tremendously.

OK now I know you're just making things up.

Pay no attention to this imposter people!! He has obviously never opened Topps product!!

deeceman · 06-19-2018, 09:38 PM

I know that the 2nd case will likely be complete garbage but for once things seemed to line up

aschade · 06-19-2018, 09:41 PM

Nice another Driver Patch Auto #/5 was posted on FB. Product looks good but got to see more breaks first

What especially surprises me is the complete set of blue parallels. I think Topps had to have changed their printing and packaging methods to get a complete 100-card set from only 162 cards.

Hmm I wonder the parallel levels on those. We know there’s /5 and /1 so far...

What #/5 was it?

Odds say you get 4-5 sketches, 4 or medallions and maybe one or two boxes with two autos.

Good news for Hobby Dealers...

This is a Hobby Only product. None at retail.

So it looks like a small print run set, which is a good thing.

MarciaDye · 06-20-2018, 06:26 AM

Some of my sketch cards:

And my artist proofs, with prices. All are available. Please message me if interested

If this is true, the patch set will be insane to put together (if anyone cares). 1:67 odd and 51 Base patches...that’s about 12 cases for a set. If we assume 625 cases, that’s a print run of 52 each (if no short prints). Glad I got out of the patch thing with 40th...

Vargaman · 06-20-2018, 09:29 AM

Dear God Topps is lazy. That or Disney said you get one image to use for Finn and that's it.

Maybe the variant will be him upside down? Lol. Or maybe him in the bacta suit?
