Those odds are just terrible. They promised over 2,250 autographed cards and I think that was before they added the USA auto's out of 100 (not the USA Buyback ones), the USA ones were just supposed to be Black Auto's /25. So that would probably add another 2,000 to the 2,250 if there are 20 in the set with a 100 print run of each. Since they made about 109,375 boxes or 9,115 cases, I can't imagine that 1/2 of the wrappers were turned into Topps. Many people threw there wrappers away before they even knew about the promotion, plus some people just don't care and even more so, there are still 1000's of boxes that have not been opened. Basically what I am saying is that Topps is holding back the auto's or some people are getting way more than they should, because if you send in a case worth of wrapper, I think you should get at least 1 auto.

Also have to factor in how many of these packs were sent to shops and distributors

Your item was delivered at 10:31 am on November 22, 2010 in DURYEA, PA 18642.

That's the DC status of my package sent to them. Again, I'm fine with people who sent in later getting them when the company sends them out. I'm NOT ok with the packages being sent at different times. I would call/email topps and try and raise hell but it does absolutely nothing. Sorry for the rant..again..just need to vent. Frustrating and annoying are the only things that are going to come to mind for a while when I think about buying anymore topps wax.

PS. Obviously, no packs for me today. AGAIN.

That's true about shop owners and distributors getting packs, that really hurts our odds.

Here is proof Topps is doing the redemptions backwards. I sent in 13 boxes worth of wrappers in 1 week after the promotion started, yet I have not got them yet.
But I just sent in 2 boxes worth of wrappers in 2 weeks ago and I just got 2 packs in the mail today. No auto's but I did get a black Strasburg.
I should have got the 13 packs before getting the 2 or at least they should have sent my all 15 together.

I sent 4 cases worth(2 1/2 months ago) and yesterday I got only half of them, weird huh? You see my earlier post that all 24 were autographless! Did I invent that word?

In my opinion it is ridiculous that Topps would send out the packs BEFORE it expired. They should have had a quicker deadline and then once all of the wrappers were received, printed accordingly. How did Topps decide how many packs to make or did they just make 120,000 packs to account for the 10000 cases that were produced? The odds would have been outstanding in comparison if they printed according to how many wrappers received instead of just blindly guesstimating or making it for every wrapper that was originally packaged.

I can't imagine more than 20% of production will be submitted for the wrapper redemption. The redemption packs should have been produced according to wrappers received and thats it.

I think you are exactly right, Topps is holding back on us because they think they will get way more redemptions in than they actually will. I am sure they will end up giving many of these auto's via other replacements in the future.

Do you really have the Ackley Rainbow for Bowman Sterling or is that just photoshop? If it's real, that's pretty sweet.

Got my two packs today and there was nothing. Best base was probably Brett Jackson. I still have one box of wrappers I haven't sent in yet, IDK if I will though.

Just got my other 13 packs in today, just 1 day after I got my first 2 packs.
So in 15 total packs, I was able to make 1 complete set and have 40 doubles.
My notable doubles are: Stephen Strasburg, Starlin Castro, Brett Jackson, Donavan Tate, Juilo Teheran, Jose Iglesias, Hak-Ju Lee, Randall Delgado, John Lamb and Mitch Moreland.

I did get 1 auto, and I was pretty pleased with it. It's not the Bryce I was hoping for, but I can't complain.

a Bryce Brentz Buyback USA Chrome Auto #'ed 50/100!!!
They sell for between $50 and $75 on Ebay.

Not looking to trade any of these, sorry.

Yeah I have it in hand, sadly I still need the refractor /199 to finish it off, but I have the tough cards so far!
