This has probably already been discussed and I’m not a topp.com buyer so I’m a bit in the dark.

Correct it says customers. I don't think topps blocks by ip, unless it's the complete buying process. I'd be curious if anyone made a brand new account and was selected vs old accounts

If it was 9700 boxes, and I've seen lower numbers floating around too, if they were 12 box cases that would be 808.3333 cases. For their Star Wars releases, 800 cases would be considered decent, but that's nowhere near baseball numbers. This is a pretty limited run I would say.

Yes please. Tired of everyone feeling entitled and complaining every step of the way. There weren't many boxes available and we knew that this was going to happen from the getgo.

If you didn't win, its over. Buy a box on ebay or buy singles.

Am I the only MC member that has not received shipping notification from the original release?

This is the is the method that needs to be used to sort/block users going forward. Not emails, not Topps account names, or even VPN.
"Botbois" use privacy cards. Try again.

My pulls from 3 boxes.
Not the greatest names on parallels & auto (but still lucky enough to get one), but I love the design / images being utilized.
3rd pic shows some of my favorite players & favorite images from my pulls.

What topps needs to do is ask Phil how much he wants, and add that to the production numbers. I kid, but I imagine I will be seeing him opening a lot this unless he has another 100+ boxes of sapphire to go through first.

Maybe you missed the follow up where I explained Topps would have to require the payment method prior to entering the raffle. Similar to what they did with the "Moment of the Week" cards.

So to use the privacy cards the bott users would have to set up multiple card numbers one for each account. The specific company Privacy does allow up to 60/month if you pay $25/month. That means these people would have to pay to make up these single use card numbers each month just for the chance at one single product. I am sure they aren't just looking at Topps products. So that greatly limits them. Which would mean they would likely move to something else.

It isn't about a full proof plan, just one that inconveniences someones time and money enough that trying to circumvent the rules isn't profitable.

Opened my 3 yesterday, did pretty good on pulling color parallels, just not good names at all.

Red Refractor - Cedric Mullins
Black Refractor - Yu Chang, Travis Demeritte
Gold Refractor - Ronald Guzman, Shane Bieber, Tyler Glasnow
Refractor - Yadier Molina, Pete Alonso, Eugenio Suarez

I ended up 1 card short of a set, overall it was a fun break.

Molina and Alonso refractors should do pretty well for you. I wouldn't let those go cheap.
