Ah, but some of us like the time to wheel & deal before the break. Moving and/or selling picks is part of the fun.

Yep that can be fun too, also I'm always incredibly impatient...have to know what spot I got ASAP!!

[Jaysabz]

I have pick 6 in the draft Vinny is in. Will be interesting to see what is there at spot 6 depending on the dual autos are and what the 1/1 or 1/1s are!

[Jaysabz]

Also bought 2 random hits from a breaker for about $560.

Had two with that breaker a few years back and hit a Ford /10 and Hayden as Vader Black 1/1.

If I have a fraction of that luck I'll be thrilled.

That’s the fun this time. Adding Portman, Dawson, and “potentially” a nice dual expands the draft list. The 1/1s add to the confusion. Do you take a big star /40 or the decent star 1/1?

No doubt Portman is Pick #1

Got 1 random spot in two different drafts as well, I'll take 1/4 what you got that time for sure.

Pretty sure I am sitting behind you with pick #2 in one of these. Would hate to see you waste a #1 on Portman

Ha tell me about it!

Bought 2 more in a second case of random hit, so 2 randoms in 2 different cases.

Draft you pretty much know what won't be obtainable before your pick.

With the random, you can totally strike out with two low-tier cards, but it's random, so two spots could just as soon land you a Portman and Clarke if your luck was right!

I like both, but I kinda like random a little more, though I may be biased based on past results!

Ultimately there are as many disappointed buyers in both randoms and drafts. Drafts just give you the option of trading or selling beforehand.

Anxious for Wednesday to see these broken

I went through the checklist, and I’ll be happy if I get any one of the following:

1) Driver
2) Ridely
3) Emilia Clarke
4) Felicity Jones
5) Ford
6) Sasha Banks
7) Portman
8) Rosario Dawson
9) dual auto
10) dual auto
11) dual auto
12) Quad auto
13) Oversized sketch
14) sketch reproduction set

14 divided by 42 is a 33% chance per spot of one of those hits.

Two spots gives me a really good shot at one of them.

I’ll let you know how I do.

Which site are you seeing breaks on? I've looked and can only find sold out breaks.

[VinnyH]

I don’t see Sasha Banks on any of the posted checklists. Would be nice but doubtful.

Well the way WWE works, you'll never see a Sasha Banks auto but as for Mercedes Varnado I wonder if the rumors of her appearing in boba fett are true? They'll need an auto to carry the 6 sets for BoBF products since we've gotten Temuera Morrison since forever.

So, since I don’t follow wrestling… Sasha Banks is the character played by Mercedes Varnado in the WWE?

YUP! Believe it or not, one of my good friends had to point this out to me first

She was a signer for SWAU and they said right up front "no sasha banks inscriptions" because, you know, IP WWE rights. I thought it was ridiculous. The actresses full name is Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado and she's also Snoop Dogg's cousin and I'm definitely looking forward to Koska Reeves autos!!!

This might be only time she signs

They have been trying for years

[baseballbunez]

Already hearing of cases being opened. Looking forward to seeing what these Portman’s go for!

Wouldn't shock me at all. She's a wonderful actress, beautiful as well, and did a decent job in the prequels with the garbage dialogue they gave her.

With only 100 guaranteed autos (as of now), that's no stretch at all.

Scarce auto + gorgeous actress + sci-fi nerd attraction (no diss, I'm one too) + (stereotype) a lot of us sci-fi nerds in our late 30s through early 50s have succeeded in our careers and have money to spend on our passions, I could see the first few listed even going for more, if the card eye appeal is at least decent.

Hearing, but have you done any "seeing?"

If individuals are opening cases that's one thing, but if Hobby Stores or Breakers release/break before the street date, Topps could cut them off in the future.

Good point, I won’t share the news I’ve heard out of breaks in that case just to be sure

What actual evidence is there for this?

Fine I'll bite...tell us what you heard!!

[Brobocop]

Bought a spot in Cards Infinity's break, never done a Stellar break before and I have a feeling I won't again after getting Stormtrooper #845 as a hit (kidding, I know there isn't anything that low in the product).
