Got 3 using a Zimbobwe proxy and a friend's PO box in Montreal.


Only got 2 using my personal email just to be safe.



What's BO's bounty?

How crappy will it be that due to Topps getting their act together and shipping quickly, they actually fulfill all the backdoor orders...

Good for Topps getting their profit. I'd rather it go to them than flippers, group breakers, and distributors. Either way, this is a bad break at $300

Well...typically, Topps take at least a day after generating the shipping label before the item is actually picked up by the shipping company...so that's probably all they did today...print shipping labels. They can catch the backdoor orders tomorrow.

Probably won't be very high for a while as they probably are getting a large direct supply from Topps.

Unless the sneakerbots have multiple addresses to use, I think even the most clueless of Topps staff will notice if they're packing more than 2 boxes per order.

I'm guessing they did a whole bunch of separate orders of 2 qty

But they also apparently boasted about using 20% off codes. It's not easy to get those so some part of this story doesn't add up.

Default Seller has 16

There is a seller that has 16 boxes on eBay right now.

100 boxes will probably last Houds a good 3 days between GBs and Phil pack wars (which will inexplicably yield only bass and 0 parallels).

Park it all in that Caribbean hideaway for the long haul brotha with those Fanatics BKB Z-Pak factory sets. That offer bound to go up eventually. Your retirement is nigh.

16 boxes confirmed? If that's not due to MC memberships or Topps backdooring then listing all those boxes right now is rather risky unless that's the point.

Based on the seller’s completed items/sold items page, I’d say they’re 100% a flipper. Pictures of previously listed items include packs of cards in a Walmart, Target, etc shopping cart

So they definitely took advantage of the hack then and they are the first to list

If there are no boxes left for the raffle, there will be some cancellations.
