That’s it and that’s all.

and just like that I ordered 10 more boxes with the 25% off coupon...

[scotthenrichs]

Sweet, got two boxes for $28 with free shipping delivered to my door and paid for with my Paypal funds.

[Stech36]

My target had literally 40 boxes. I bought 14 so far, may go back for the rest

UPDATE: Provably won’t go back for the rest since I got 5 autos in these 14 boxes

[Zeldafanatic15]

Just bought 2 more, so I'll have 4 waiting for me when I get back from vacation. Tempted to grab a couple more, that's an insane price right now

I know you can only do 2 at a time, so did you make separate orders? Wondering if I should just leave my 2 alone and not risk trying to order more.

No, this was in Newburgh (I️ actually used to live up in the EG area). They were priced at $17.99 yesterday. Is that what you’re talking about?

I️ had similar results out of my 10

1 Auto - Happ X-Fractor
2 Golds - Arroyo and Yandy Diaz


Fortunately two of my Refractors were Judge and Bellinger so that helped.

Houdini's second 100 box break was pretty rough

I’m interested in the gold Yandy if available?

[The_Reverend]

There have been some very nice pulls but for the amount opened it seems like the superfractors are few and far between.

Haha definitely not still sealed but may go back to pick up some more. Do you need a coupon for the 25% off?

wow...with the special this weekend at Target, went online and they have it running - $29 total for two boxes shipped!

[Stech36]

I wonder how rare some of these veteran autos are? I pulled a Chris Sale Base Auto, only 1 on eBay, and none have sold. There is also a plate and red Refractor, but hard to tell how many Base are out there.

Also pulled a Bregman base redemption, and only 2 others have shown up on eBay.

...or how astronomical the number of cases produced is

Yep, or that. Looks like Judge or Bregman only have had a couple of each red Refractor listed. That tells you something.

Yeah, tells me all I need to know. I usually like Topps Chrome retail but the lack of a special refractor-only pack (I.e. sepia, purple, orange) kind of kills the fun factor for me.

Based on the superfractor numbers there are 552,900 packs of this. That is a total of 2,211,600 cards.
Also around 7,900 boxes and just under 5,000 16 box cases.



Of these:

100 Superfractors
400 Printing PlAtes
2,500 Red Refractors
5,000 Gold Refractors
9,900 XFractors
25,000 Refractors

276,450 Rookie Cup (so 13,825 sets)
77 Rookie Cups Autos

9,873 Base Autos
3,350 XFractor Autos
2,300 Gold Autos
1,225 Red Refractor Autos
61 Super Auto
220 Printing Plate Autos

There are 61 autos on the checklist - that matches the super number - but it appears that not all signers signed all levels or they didn't sign all of the numbered print run. Based on the numbering, there would 34 Xfractor signers,
46 gold signers, 49 red signers and 55 print plate signers.

there are clearly more autos per rookie as compared to veterans.

This leaves 1,881,044 base cards or 18,810 as the base card print run.

That also makes 17,029 autos or one every 32 packs (this excludes the handful of rookie cup autos)

[tkraft24]

Yup, 2 out of 3 boxes will yield nothing but cards with a print run of 18K. That’s all I needed to know.

[zac949]

I bought the full 16 box lot from my Target and it only yielded 2 autos. So far this was my breakdown from 20 boxes.

Online (4 boxes):
2 Judge & 6 Bellinger
Paul DeJong Refractor /250
Franklin Barreto X-Fractor /99
Luis Castillo Black Printing Plate Auto 1/1

Local Target (16 Box Case):
6 Judge & 10 Bellinger
Cameron Maybin Refractor /250
Paul Goldschmidt Refractor /250
Ryan Zimmerman Refractor /250
Derek Fisher RD Refractor /250
Jacob Faria Refractor /250
Tyler Austin RD Refractor /250
Matt Chapman Refractor /250
Daniel Robertson Cyan Printing Plate 1/1
Reynaldo Lopez X-Fractor Auto /99
Charlie Blackman Cyan Printing Plate Auto 1/1
