My guess is release day. I asked Topps today for a checklist for Finest which hits streets tomorrow. ToppsTwitter said they would have it tomorrow on street.
Kind of sad

That's why any hobby boxes over $60 are overpriced. No color, over production, crappy auto and useless base = waste of money.

Lots of assumptions about the product, especially the checklist. While I don't know any more details than you do, I've got a hunch that the crop isn't nearly as substandard as the so-called experts make it out to be. It's certainly not 2011-worthy, but it's better than you might think.

I wonder what jumbo prices will settle at on eBay

I guess that means no Draft jumbos up north here...again. Either Topps honors the US requests first, or the distributor holds them back here (my guess).
Also, with that allocation Hobby boxes should be dirt cheap. Does $40-$45 a box sound out of the question?

I'm not bumping this thread to re-hash the jumbo prices or allocation of jumbo's, rather what affect will not having any Retail product have on this "Hobby Only" release. Meaning, since large retailers (Walmart/Target/TRU etc) will no longer be an outlet for those who normally buy from them what will the impact be on the hobby side?

It'll alienate the kids to some extent, no doubt. But the local brick-and-mortar shops will help pick up the slack.

Now all we need is confirmation of Almora and Zunino autos and my busting will be worthwhile.

Someone explain something to me: why would anyone want the Jumbos' 3 chrome autos at $200+ when 3 boxes is cheaper?

Because the belief is that one of the "Jumbo" box Auto's will be a color auto? Thereby the presumption of better odds.

Yeah, but don't the overall odds mean that 1-in-3 boxes will anyway? Jumbos used to offer a better price/chrome auto at the case size. With prices exploding and starting high, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
Maybe I'm missing something.

The vibe I've been getting is without a retail product for draft this year, hobby boxes will be more watered down than ever, causing a perceived notion that Jumbo will offer better odds for parallels.... whatever
