'25 Bowman Acuna ?

[bounty37h]

I opened a fair amount of Bowman this year, not what many of you do, but a hobby box, 10+ Megas, and a 10+ blasters if I am recalling correctly. I love to put a set together each year-a challenge for Bowman with only 2 chromes each pack and I understand why I am so far from completing that as well as BP set. I have at least 4 of every base card through, and as many as 12 of some. My question- is the Acuna a short print or did I just have really crap luck with that-I only got 1 in all those packs. I assume it's bad luck/ the horrible collation of Bowman. It's disappointing to me how many identical packs I opened across multiple boxes. I have 5 sets of 3 dups in my Mega packs alone across 10+ boxes. I'm going to post on B/S/T to see if I can build out the rest of the BP and PCP sets (as well as 2 more Acunas as I want to finish 2 base sets to give to my son and a kid on his baseball team), anyone have other ideas of places that are good to fill out sets?

Comc or sportlots.

Unfortunately, you’ve been fanaticized just like the rest of us over the past couple of years. It seems Fanatics is trying to persuade the casual box-opening, set builder customer to stop and leave that to the Certified Professional Box Rippers on their platform. Long time Set builders like us are now an afterthought in this gambling operation.

Yup, its frustrating and does put a damper on collecting, at least for me. I used to buy a lot more but have backed off now since its too hard/expensive to build too many sets.

It’s simply bad collation.

Fanatics really doesn’t care about the set builder.

I figured that was the most likely case but just wanted to make sure wasn't a SP for some reason. Collation has been bad for a long time, but this year was the worst I have seen. My son and I opened 2 blaster that were identical pack-to pack other than the inserts/color. And my megas have had multiple identical mojo packs.
On another note, I noticed last night mojo cards don't always line up to the base card numbers? I forget which card I was looking at (a Braves card, Olson maybe?), but the card numbers were different on just that one that I noticed.
