If you enjoy ripping at all... I have never enjoyed ripping a product as much as this one.
I ripped a lot of 2018 Update. The floor on Flashbacks is so much higher. A hobby box of Update is ~$600 and you'll usually end with your top card as the Acuna base at ~$50 with rarely anything better.
I'm sure someone will check my quick math here, but here's what I come up with...
Here... roughly half the boxes will have Robert (~$200). Half the boxes will have Trout (~$50). Half will have Lux (~$35). Half will have Acuna/Soto/Alvarez (each ~$25).
Every box is (almost?) guaranteed to have two great looking /50 cards (gold numbered, refractor not numbered) with a short, star-heavy, checklist. And
half the boxes have a /25 with that same short checklist.
One in 6.5 boxes has an autograph, again from a very short checklist.
One in 8.5 boxes has a red.
One in ~45 boxes has a super.
The odds of getting a short numbered card are so much better in this product... and then after you get one, the odds of it being a good name are significantly higher.
Granted, there's a (minuscule) chance of getting a down-payment on a house in 2018 Update... but for fun... this product can't be beat.
