This. Plus, and I'm probably alone in this, I just don't really like the '17 Flagship design whereas I love the '18 design. That makes a huge difference for me, as stupid as that sounds.

I've ripped 4 of these - 3 of the boxes had Pujols bat as the relic. How does that happen???

Found 2 boxes today. Pulled 2 Acuna base and a A.J. Minter auto /200. Not really any notable metallics.

griffan15 · 09-11-2019, 04:41 PM

Box 32 was absolutely incredible.

1st pack contained an Acuna Metallic (my 2nd of the break) and also a base Acuna in the same pack

Next pack had a Buehler auto (/200).

Then an Albies Metallic (3rd one of the break)

ThoseBackPages · 09-11-2019, 04:44 PM

NICE!

Awesome! I ripped my 32nd box recently too with similar but different results:

1st pack contained a Ryon Healy metallic (my 6th of the break) and also a base Healy in the same pack.

Next pack had a Beede auto (/200)

Then, in the last pack, I saw the familiar Braves "A" on the card back peaking out from the middle. Thinking my luck had changed, I flipped it over and saw my third Sean Newcomb metallic of the break staring back at me.

HarryLime · 09-11-2019, 05:04 PM

Well I just opened 5 boxes and would have rather gotten my dink punched in 5 times.

1 Acuna base
"Notable" Metallics were Andujar and J.D. Davis
5 scrub relics

Mantis2499 · 09-11-2019, 05:09 PM

I’ve broken 23 of the Holiday boxes over the past week or so with pretty good results.

Acuna - 2 metallic & 12 base
Gleyber - 12 base
Ohtani - 2 metallic & 13 base
Albies - 1 metallic & 11 base
Devers - 14 base
Buehler - 1 metallic & 13 base
Robles - 1 metallic & 9 base
Ian Kinsler auto /20
Corey Seager relic /10
Mike Trout bat relic
Metallics RCs of M Andujar, A Rosario, W Calhoun’s x2, D Smith, B Anderson, M Mikolas x2, T O’Neil, and a few other lower end names.

tomingo0711 · 09-11-2019, 05:54 PM

3 more boxes
1 Acuna
A few Torres and Ohtani

Metallic Torres!
Metallic Albies

Relics were Seager, Altuve, Josh Harrison.

I obviously have a lot of this stuff now. Anyone have a Buehler Metallic they’d be willing to trade for something similar?

Well box 33 had a Mikolas auto (/200), then box 34 had my very own Beede auto (/200), so weird.

h00perstar34 · 09-11-2019, 08:16 PM

Busted 4 more....4th judge and machado metallic snowflakes lol!

Did go 4/4 on acunas, but none are gemable.

By the way someone earlier in this thread said they came out in perfect condition, but my results have been FAR from that they seem super condition sensitive.

3 of my 13 acunas pulled I’ll send in to get graded

Can you post a picture of one you will grade versus one you won’t? I have a few but not comfortable enough with grading to know how they would do.

I’m actually driving right now but the best I can tell you is look at the back of the card in the light, corners are super tough with these!

oddstuff · 09-12-2019, 01:08 PM

With all the breakage here, would have thought by now one of y'all would have got at least a scrub Gold snowflake just to confirm they exist lol. One in 580 boxes...alright...anyone got one yet?

Mantis2499 · 09-12-2019, 01:12 PM

I think someone pulled an A Judge gold metallic in the box break section, if I remember correctly.

tomingo0711 · 09-12-2019, 09:21 PM

Haven’t seen any at my local Walmart’s since the weekend. No reloads online. Did we see the end of this product with the recent push to stores?

After my hunting I ended with:
3 Acuna’s
5 Torres’
5 Devers
3 Ohtani

Best Metallics
Torres
Albies
Soroka

Worth hanging on to the Acuna’s and metallics to see if prices go up? If this is really the last of it...

Acuna metallic has gone from $100 mid August to what ever it is now. I think 10s are 2-3 hunerd.

Tried to give away one of my Acuna PSA 10 Metallics approx 1.5 months ago for $125 dlvd. Zero takers. Instead I sold it a couple of weeks ago for $375.

wyguy11 · 09-12-2019, 11:19 PM

On a scale of 1-10 how gimmicky do you feel that card is ?
