I'm confused... Didn't you just pull a 1/1 Vlad from Futures and are trying to sell it for 50k???

But now you're whining because you didn't get a Vlad auto in your packs?

My other 10 packs came in today!

The results weren't good.

Black - Jorge Soler #'d 1/5
Red - Joe Jimenez #'d 10/10
Vlad Jr. RC base

That's it. I'm going to lose money on wave 2. Oh well. I was planning on being in for all 9 waves.

But I may have to stop after wave 3. (I already have 30 packs ordered of those).

Yes actually...two different animals. I put a lot of money into Total and my pulls in that product have been not worth talking about. AND This is a message board...I suppose to be able to complain (actually think its a requirement).

Not getting $50K for that "Possible Winning card" or anything close to what Jake could get for that pair of cards...UNLESS he wins...my auction is just an advertisement of the Now Future product...I wanted people to see.

Exactly how I feel but spent thousands...I think it might be the nature of the set (mostly scrubs and unknowns), so chances of getting a decent parallel is slim to none, even when buying tons I mean when I think about it I would have had to hit a Vlad /5 or /10 and the autograph to be happy in Wave 2 and that is if all the base cards came centered. I can't see this product ever making me happy and that is why I am out of it.

Went through my Wave 2 shipment, 40 packs

3 complete sets, 76 towards a 4th.

4 Red, 4 Black, 1 Gold, 1 Auto

No corner peeling this time for me, though some corners were dinged and base centering was noticeably bad on probably 1/4 of my cards

I opened 22 of 30 - kept going until I had a complete set. Have 87/100 on set 2 (with Judge,Soto and Vlad Jr). One more Vlad Jr base.

A Segura Auto, Ryu Red (7/10), Bieber Black (5/5) and Two gold 1/1s - Harrison Bader and Adam Warren.

Made up for no autos or Golds in my 20 Wave 1 packs. I really wish they could center these cards better - is it really that hard with today's technology.

Also wanted to point out the initial Topps checklist was off again. Numbering was fine but they swapped out two players this time.

Mac Williamson replaces Gerardo Parra at #143
Chad Pinder replaces Kendrys Morales at #197

Well it is go big or go home with this product.
10 packs. 22 short of a 101-200 set. 1 red, 1 black. No Vlad RC.
Might be done.

Picked up 30 packs to give it a try.

Not really going to be for me. Cards are very off centre and a boring break overall.

Results of 30 packs:

Rick Porcello Red
Amir Garrett Red
Harrison Bader Red
Johnny Venters Black
Tayron Guerrero Black
Corey Kluber Black
Aaron Judge Auto
2 Vlad Jr RC's

Anyone figure out the approx print run of the autos?

TF: I'd consider myself a hater on this product...lack of decent pulls with 2K spent but I get that there are only a few good hits in the product and I have been unlucky on all of those. Actually seeing the other possible autographs that were in Wave 2, doesn't make me hate the product any less.
I actually hate my luck with the product. Not the product itself. I've had no luck at all in Parallels or autographs save for the Wave 1 Trout.
Throw into this the centering issues on the product as a whole (that even you have noted) and the damage to the parallels I did get in Wave 1 was more of the turn off then the fact that Jake is the luckiest bastard to walk the earth.
BUT
As the clock winds down and I look at the centered cards I do have and I do appreciate the them. Also the fact that I just got notification that my Wave one parallel replacements are due in today I can't help but want to buy Wave 3...I mean my luck is bound to change right? Crazy? Yup...I'm going to wait on the FedEx truck to get here with the replacements and if they (as the wife says) "Make My Heart Sing" And there is any time left...I'll be in on Wave 3.

NOTE: My Wave 2 Centering was awesome...perhaps that is how I was lucky in Wave 2. Having centered Total cards is a lucky thing!

Basis looking at the posts here, buying 10 set bundle WILL NOT complete the 100 card set of the certain wave?
I'm basically interested in the Pete Alonso card, and was considering to buy, with a chance at color parallel and auto (if he is one of those signers) of him.

Seriously the wave 2 autographs were pretty nice...I didn't get any of them but you guys all seemed to do pretty well.

So Packs Sold guesses? I think this will be a fraction of wave 1 (Like 1500ish) due to lack of any real big names and only the Alonso rookie being a Parallel that would be worth much. Anyone else see something I don't?

Yeah, 10 packs does not guarantee a complete set of 100. In fact, it will probably take 20 packs for a good chance at a complete set. It could be possible with 15 packs but there could be a few missing. I bought 12 packs of wave 1 and was short 20 cards from a complete 100 card set.
