These are now posted on the Topps site, for anyone interested. Ten cards, one black and white parallel and one autograph per box at $25 per box. I liked these last year and ordered 7 of this year's.

I liked these last year and ordered 7 of this year's.

I like them too (among my favorite Topps releases) and I also ordered 7 of them thanks to Topps' crappy coalition. you get the same 10 base cards per box so you can open 2 boxes, get 10 cards for the set, 10 duplicates but you have good odds of the auto being different in those 2 duplicate boxes. I hate how it takes the perfect 5 boxes to get a full set without having dups.

Last year got a Judge redemption auto (thankfully redeemed in January) and I hope I can land my first Trout auto this year.

looks cool but not one Phillies in there.

Phillies are not a killer on the choice for me. I'm shocked at least Kingery wasn't in there because I'm guessing giving him a solid deal before the season started shows the confidence the phillies have in his ability to be a star. I'm glad no Nola's because I have pulled enough autos of his from snapshot in the past. ;)

Well, I collect Nola so I would of loved a Nola in there. Also I would of expected Hoskins. Kingey was a result of Phillies and how they treat there rookies. Play here and there and every other position.

I changed my mind on Kingery. I found an article that he was the second MLB player to sign a multiyear deal before his MLB debut and the othe was -- Jon Singleton. I hope Kingery ends up better than Singleton but not a good comparison right now! Singleton has been suspended multiple times and the Astros released him.

I looked at a team checklist for Archives Snapshots since my last posting. Philliies are one of multiple teams without a player in the set and of course we all know the team with the most players in the set -- Yankees. I think Topps needs to move their headquarters to Omaha or Wichita or even Albuquerque where the nearest MLB club is 8 hours by car or an hour by plane so they aren't so full of Yankees/Mets/Red Sox BS.

EDIT: teams without a representative in the set: White Sox, Tigers, Royals, Rays, Rangers, Dbacks, Brewers (!!!!!), Phillies, Pirates, and Padres.

Twins lone rep (Brian Dozier) is out of date (he's been a Dodger for awhile now).

Topps doesn't know MLB much if it isn't going on in NY or Boston.

yep, hate the collation that you can't find all 5 different boxes in a 7-box order! I guess you did good with the better demand prospects in the release.

Mine haven't arrived yet so I have no first box break to post yet.

I highly advise all to take the 200 you will spend opening this garbage and buy 4 gleyber snapshot autos instead lol.

$175 and I'm a collector, not a die-hard flipper. I enjoy opening this product for the cards even if all I get in 7 boxes will be $5 autos. The only unenjoyable thing is that I may not complete the 50 card set in 7 boxes because of their constant base card collation and not random base card collation.

Came to 200 with shipping. I break boxes expecting a loss, but 95 percent of these things are just brutal. Wish i was able to get a box of topps sapphire, that looked like a fun break

Maybe we can look to trade here to complete sets!

Boxes arrived! First box of 7 yielded a Judge black and white parallel and Ryan McMahon unnumbered auto

Going to do a box a week so the joy lasts longer and that the final box gets opened around Christmas.

opened and cataloged the second box tonight. Andrew Stevenson (Nationals) auto, mike trout black and white parallel and pulled a gold parallel of lin, numbered 3/10

didi gregorius the only base duplicate in two boxes (with 19 base cards in 2 boxes and 50 cards total in the set, there shouldn't have been any yet, IMHO).

five more to go.

If you were expecting to get a Black Friday deal on 2018 Archives Snapshots, too bad. "Out of Stock" icon is showing on the product on topps.com.

I wonder if they made fewer sets this year or people went wild buying it up upon release.

box three just ripped and had a Paul DeJong gold auto (2/10) and a jose altuve black and white. No base dups from the previous two boxes so that was good, too, to get 10 new base cards on my way to trying to complete the set.
