Add back in the autos and this would also mean a max potential PR of just under 160,000 packs. Which seems WAY off.

I think only one player is signing. For example, let's say they did this last year and you had Kershaw /50 and Betts /25. You would (probably) get a Steve Pearce auto /25 as the mystery player from the winning team.

I'm fully aware the player pictured isn't tied to the signer. I just assumed all three players have the full run of numbered auto parallels on the backs.

Anybody get any blanks? Andrus and Crawford so far

Oh okay, yeah I don't think so since the odds are 1:120 packs. I thought it would only be one pictured player per team with the auto prize, but they seem to have divided it up somehow.

Got my 2 packs:

Cardinals base set
Royals Base set
Rays set/99
Cubs set/199
Twins base set
Red Sox mystery player auto/10

Anyone got a good guess on the Red Sox auto value?

[gamboooler]

Just figured out what I'd be comfortable paying for the teams I'm interested in... don't think I'll be winning many cards off eBay lol.

I think the prices will adjust downward on most of the base and /199 cards. Even as a Yankee fan I can’t see winning a 20 card chrome set to 600 or so being too valuable. The autos and low numbered sets of top teams should be the valuable ones.
I also think a set with a rookie that ends up in the WS might do well. Say the Mets win, Alonso rookie logo Topps Now Chromes will be hot. (Maybe)

Have no idea how long they'll sell for way too high so just picking random numbers trying to scale accordingly on my listings

[mnvikingstwins]

The Astros set /25 for $50 was pretty low

I bought that one and think I overpaid based on expected value lol (especially if /25 ends up as purple). Would not have gone for it had I actually thought about it. But had eBay Bucks + the 10% so whatever. Also, holding out hope that maybe they make /25 orange, in which case I'm OK with it.

Were you even close to getting a complete set? How many duplicates?

Half the teams I got all 3 of the base, so probably have 72-76 or so of the 90. Got 3x of Lindor. Did above odds on autos

Bought the Mets /49 for $33. Figured it’s better than some other longshots and if Alonso continues doing well, who knows.

PS: a low numbered Red Sox card is posted relatively cheap. As a Yankee fan I can’t have it.

That's hilarious... as a Red Sox fan, I had to grab it and hope they make a run.

As a non Yankee fan, I had a hard time persuading myself to take the same guy's Andujar #/25 for 40 bucks a bit earlier. I REALLY didn't want to, but I figured it was a good deal at that price, so I grabbed it.

So if I buy a Nick Ahmed base card and the Dbacks win it all, I get a 20 card team set that is chrome?

If I buy the Ahmed base card /5 and the Dbacks win it all, I get a 20 card team set chrome all /5?

Yep of diamondbacks if diamondbacks win. I've got a Peralta /10 set for them if you're interested

I am interested, but it seems like these are selling silly high even for teams that won't even make the playoffs!
