TURKEY RED Disappoints Big Time - 25 box break

[BowmanChromeAddict]

Unbelievable duplication. 43 Possible Autos to hit. Out of 25 boxes you'd think you'd get some variety. Not so much.

6 Scott Diamond Autos /689
5 Mike Fiers Autos /689
4 Andrew Carnigan Autos /620
3 Chris Archer autos /689
2 Steve Chishek auto /689
1 Drew Hutchinson auto /389
1 Jeff Niemann auto /48
1 Joe Saunders auto /20
1 Wily Peralta auto /20
1 Andrew Carnigan brown border auto /10

1 Ian Kennedy Plate

The 249 Base cards yielded 1 complete set. Second set was missing 13 cards.

sorry this happened to you Brother.

Am I wrong to be really perturbed by that? I mean that duplication is insane isn't it?

Ouch. I hit pretty much the same dupes that you did from my 20 boxes. Archer, Fiers, Diamond, Cishek.

Yeah, I just saw your break. Brutal man. At least you hit some nice cards in yours. Joe Saunders and Wily Peralta are not going to do much to help me.

 

[ThoseBackPages]

i feel you have legit beef. certainly worth a phone call

 

[Erich]

Wow! That is really all I can say. I think I will be reselling my 10 boxes, even if I just get 25 a piece for them I will recoup my 200 investment.

 

[moxacaine]

Thats insane. I knew the better guys would end up being harder to get. glad i didnt buy any. With the way these are selling on ebay i would have sold them sealed.

 

[A_Pharis]

That sucks, but Topps probably won't do anything. Bad collation isn't really something they've been big on caring about.

 

[Bill Menard]

Bad break, Jim. I hope 2013 Bowman is better to you!

 

[jszczech]

I would be interested in buying one of the Scott Diamond autos from you if available.

 

[wolfmanalfredo]

I'm buying scott diamond's if you're looking to sell

The math actually makes sense where you should expect 1 "rare" autograph for every 20 or so common autographs.

And with the drastic differences in print runs between the "rare" and super common being 32:1...the collation sucks, but the odds are terrible.

Really, you actually hit more "rare" cards than you should have.

Based upon the information we have today about the print runs, you're right, I guess I did "okay" hitting rare autos...of course we both know that information wasn't available when we had to place our orders, just a checklist and abounding assumptions. Oh well, I may quite possibly lose this time. If the set prices stay high, then I may do okay. But the offers are not exactly rolling in, but it hasn't been 24 hours yet...holding out hope.

Also hoping that set collectors want to build these auto sets and somehow magically Wily Peralta and Joe Saunders become $80 cards because there are so few...

Completely possible if the set builders who work on Turkey Red sets are similar to those that do the Heritage ones, where they pay big bucks for the harder to find stuff, regardless of the player on the card. Good luck!

I agree with everyone that the duplicate autographs is obnoxious. The ROI probably isn't that bad, given what you can get on the base singles.

Yeah, that is true. I'm hoping those prices stay up and I can get out of this one somewhat ahead.

Yikes! Sounds like I might need to sell my 3 boxes sealed.
