Either they're in a "second wave" of cases just now shipping, or Topps pulled a fast one on us.

Keep that up Topps. :oops:

How many players are there?

The odds of pulling 1 particular player are 1:91 cases

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

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.

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

They should be used to it by now.

not the strongest checklist obviously, and the odds are tougher than any bowman ever, so that sucks as you are lucky if you get 1 blue auto in the case, BUT still fun, great price
but not as bad as it seems, just market is soft now & everyone is dumping for money needed

topps produced way too much of course, but oh well....
update was totally awesome and helped me dig out of a topps chrome hole 7 hopefully this one won't be as big

topps did help me out big time with chrome though, so was very pleased

Anywhere Delta goes.
Something is definently up with these. There should be 800 of them and not one has been listed while out of 500 Strasburg autos a bunch are listed.

Just tweeted Topps about this, and their rep assures me they're in there.

Second wave, I'm thinking.

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.

I don't ****.

What do I need to tell him? Just ask Brent how up front Topps is.

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.

I agree with you. He's a company man, spreading the company word. There's another group of people who were doing what they were told. . . they were called NAZIs...

:)

Funny, I was thinking about the 2004 AFLAC mess. While there were 125 gold redemptions, what is completely lost on the hobby is that there were only 50 xfractor redemptions.

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 made
