Keep that up Topps.

brentandbecca said:no odds for them on packs is frightening, plus i just opened 30 cases and nada...
yet the usa autos have 20 players and the blue autos are /99 and i hit 6
so if the buybacks are /100 but only 8 should have maybe hit 1
plus usa gold autos are /50, that is close to the same as that means 1,000 total compared to 800 of the buybacks,,,hit 3 of those...
so who knows where they are
oh well, they were late addition

Both would make big rippers (like brett/becca) very mad - it would be completely unfair to them.

Just curious as to your thoughts on the product after ripping 30 cases, since everyone else seems to think this product is destined to fail big time.
Hope you did well.

Just like the Strasburgs in A&G.
Here's a little inside info JP.
Topps' rep....LIES.
Not all the time... but enough to cover his companies ass.
That's what representatives do. They lie.

@toppscards <-- there's the magic word. Tell him.
Jaypers said:I am aware that Topps screws up as much as anyone else, as I "fondly" recall when they inserted 125 AFLAC Gold Redemptions into 2004 BDP instead of 50, which was what the print run should have been.
In other words, I'm saying there's a difference between a mistake and an out-and-out lie. Their Twitter guy is a figurehead for the public and is merely repeating what he's told. Nothing malicious about that.
What is a second wave? I thought they were just released. Please edjumacate me.Jaypers said:Just tweeted Topps about this, and their rep assures me they're in there.

Topps prints and packs out and mails the first batch of chrome. Then they go back and print more and package that and send it out.
2nd wave.
When errors are short printed - - they're caught after the first printing and corrected for the 2nd wave.

I did not think it went on anymore either. I thought this was a 80's-90's thing when there was a 100,000 cases madebmc398 said:This doesn't happen anymore...Jeff N. said:Erich said:What is a second wave? I thought they were just released.
