I don't think Topps did these. I was a Total junkie back in the day and don't recall ever seeing them this way.
Someone may have done this aftermarket (Excel, Fairfield or ANCO maybe) but I don't think Topps released them that way.
Brent had 99 in 45 cases.
I think he had some auto relics and multiple sigs, but only a handful - basically 2 per box - anything more than that is a bonus from what I see.
I cracked one and am sitting not he other - haven't had time and haven't decided course of action yet.
That was my thought - with Auerelio Rodriguez, many didn't know the difference. Doing it with a marquee player makes it less desirable in my mind.
Looks like $150-200 these days.
The second round!

Already better cards than the best 4 on my 600 HR break.
The other 6 will have to wait a bit!
In the spring I picked up a few hangar boxes of Heritage at Target - they had a coupon for a free pack of Flagship Series 1 - In one of those I pulled a Benintendi 30th Anniversary Auto.
Yesterday we did a Target run, I stopped by the card section and they had some TC value packs (blissfully...
I share your feelings about AT&T - it's amazing how bad the ballparks are in The LA area. Petco is better but the Padres are beyond awful (although they are still a few game set up on the Giants).
He also attends a bunch of NBA games with his Marlins short. In the old days (2014 - when the Giants were still a mlb team), he was at a bunch of games in SF and KC. I remember stories then that stated he bought all of his tickets.
Now that we are seeing some sets with both an auto and a parallel explains the excess of duds. It doesn't explain why no multiple buyer has seen such a set yet.
If they look clean enough I reuse them - I'm in California - we recycle everything!
I'll reuse any thing that is still clean. Packing tape renders top loaders unusable, but much of it is clean - why not?
High value stuff gets new clean supplies - but that is usually the way I stop it, not...
Topps has never confirmed the checklist - it is not unusual for them to issue a skip numbered set in the mega boxes.
We assume it is 100 cards because no one has ever seen the others and the fact that we are at a round number of 100 seems reasonable.
The complete set is only 100 cards - the Otani card is the only card on your list that you still need.
Not the card you want to be missing to complete this set.
I walked away from a deal recently, because the third time he asked about condition I realized I couldn't make it work. Antything that didn't come back PSA10 or BGS 9.5 was gonna get returned anyway. And like above he was wanting this level of scrutiny for below eBay raw price.
