17 Update is worth it at msrp unless Cody is hurt.
17 series 1 and heritage are fun rips at msrp . (But hard to pull anything huge )
17 series 2 has nothing.

actionbryan · 09-07-2019, 11:21 AM

I would argue 18 series 2 isn’t worth it,
Acuña and Gleyber are super long shots and everything else sucks besides Ohtani parallels

I kind of agree here. S2 is a barren wasteland outside of the SSP and Ohtani base. I think I have Kingery base down in my sheet as well but there is nothing else, and I was trying to be generous.

But they don't go broke selling PowerBall tickets so S2 will continue to sell.

ripped 2 of my 5.. got an Acuna Jr. metallic

only 2 sharp Corners, guessing PSA 9. No complaints, it's a PC Item.

Degrom and Heyward Jerseys were the "hits"..

Torres, ohtani, deavers base

Found 5 more at a differnt location.. they were actually organizing the section and asked me what I was looking for.. told them Topps Holiday and they went and pulled them out of a box and told me they were on the list to be taken off the shelves and send back. So it seems likely the online waves will continue..

Nice! What WM did you find them at? I checked a few today (Marietta, Kennesaw & Acworth) & didn't find anything. Coworker checked West Midtown & Dunwoody & came up empty as well.

I had no luck at Rockbridge, tucker hwy29, or brookhaven. Dunwoody didnt have any Thursday.. I found them at Lilburn and Snellville locations.. I'm not buying anymore, but if I was going to buy, I'd start with pleasant hill Road location and try any others in gwinnett that I didnt mention. Lilburn,snellville and pleasant hill are all close enough to assume if 2 had 5 of them then they should also.. I would also check the location near gwinnett hospital.

Totally off topic here but what LCS do ya'll go to? I'm in Atlanta, unfortunately a wasteland of card shops but I've heard good things about On Deck, and GOT Sports Cards. Any recommendations?

blackandgold · 09-07-2019, 03:50 PM

Found 5 today opened 2 and hit Acuna in both Holding the other 3 for now

Bulldog55D · 09-07-2019, 04:10 PM

Staring at 4 right now, trying not to rip.

bloodwings19 · 09-07-2019, 05:11 PM

I did Rip and flip, but may hold if I find it again.

I Went to 2 Walmart this morning, one had 3 and the other 2. I went to the last one to choose between a beat up box, or a clean box. I read someone opened a beat up box to get a cha-ching card. No way, it is going to happen again, so I picked up the cleaner box, just bought 1. I will buy 2 more if they have it for storage and future purposes if it is still there when I go with my family tomorrow.

Hit all the good rookies except Acuna which I was chasing, but will settle for some metallic stuff.

glassofwater · 09-07-2019, 07:20 PM

Did Walmart restock these like the clearance cards?

djolley86 · 09-07-2019, 07:22 PM

I'm looking at my 5 and trying not to rip as well. I don't do well with holding sealed product...

Doublexthebeast · 09-07-2019, 07:25 PM

I found 3 last night- pulled an awesome Acuna metallic snowflake and 2 other base of him. I’ll buy all of these boxes I can find. I’ll probably keep half and open half of anything I find from here on.

"retirement"

Flkrsn5 · 09-07-2019, 07:28 PM

Found 3 boxes at a local Walmart and could not find it in me to spend the $60 on this product. 2 of the boxes were pretty damaged also.

The_Reverend · 09-07-2019, 07:44 PM

I have opened a total os 10 and the boxes in my area must have the Acuna run. 7 had ACUNA...the other 3 had metallics of Ohtani and Devers. Those had 2 Gleyber as well. I still have one unopened.

Haha, I never said I was retiring. It was merely a short break to buy a house. Im working my way back into the hobby now though.

Seven Costanza · 09-07-2019, 08:21 PM

So what was the total mega box product run? 116K ?

Opened my last one and when I saw Willie I knew Acuna was behind him. I open the 5 non-metallic packs first, they are every other one in the box. Last box had my second Ohtani Metallic.
