Raffle only(lost last time but much better than alternatives). I won't begrudge MC folks if they do get it, but I don't have to hope for it(j/k?). I'm not sure who a dutch auction ultimately benefits other than Topps (I see plenty of negatives to offset the positives to various groups of collectors), but am skeptical of it in general. Those willing to pay the inflated prices at the dutch auction are free to pay the same inflated prices to the flippers while the rest of the collectors retain a small chance at paying retail.
