Thanks J. That's helpful. Probably expect X to be the same (e.g. 2 red minis #/5 every 3 boxes).

Well that means single rips will be #ed to 75-100

Or all duals will be 25-50 .. suppose they could run it many different ways

Ya none of it is a shock... every product is way up

Product does not change much.. just really hard to get a bigger hit

Awesome, I missed that on there when I looked. Thanks

Nothing like buying a box of ginter and coming out of the shop sporting wood.

Wait ... have there always been rip cards in retail?

EDIT: Here are the 2017 odds. Rip cards were there.

I think so, but I'm sure someone here can remember.

I located the 2017 odds. Looks like retail production is up about 46% ... expect the same for hobby, as Jamie already confirmed.

kyle1707 · 07-17-2018, 01:10 PM

that gold mini set will be tough to make...

But those might be the best looking mini's i can remember in 13 years of this

I like the SSP idea. Still gives master set builders something to chase, but gets rid of those stacks and stacks of common minis you can do nothing with.

2bros is still a mystery to me....for all they break, do they even make a profit with their offers? Weird....

I remember I hopped on a couple of their 'National Anthem' cards from OD back in 2016....they eventually cancelled on me

2Bros is not profitable. They are operating at a loss. I probably shouldn't even be sharing this but they have no idea who I am so I don't care. They are being fronted/backed right now by funding which I will not disclose, but the train is heading for destruction I believe. Which will be the day we all celebrate.

Clearer copy of the odds. Sorry about that.

Admittedly it's hard for me to see those odds but it doesn't look like minis are SSP to me - am i reading things wrong?

What are the two unannounced insert mini sets?
