Some sellers still trying to make money from this stuff.

Other than the one person on ebay, does anybody have this in hand yet?
No shipping notification emails received here...yet

[UCCF]

I have notification that mine is out for delivery now. I should get it this afternoon.

I received shipping notification today for my lite box purchase. Should be here by Friday.

[Seitas]

The two listed on eBay are both in Fresno. Mine just arrived. I’ll be opening later this afternoon. I’ll post the highlights.

Wow, seeing some examples on the bay now... I'm not sure which set I want to try to complete! Just the base refractor set? The B&W mini diamond? Aqua wave? Could be fun for the next year...

Buying HOF superfractors…Cobb Jackie etc

[Seitas]

Just finished opening my box. It was a lot of fun. I didn’t hit great parallels but it was a fun break. I think the product looks great in hand and the parallels really pop. I’m not a Braves fan but the Dale Murphy auto looks so nice. I’ll buy more of this. Especially if they make a blaster format for retail. The base set is fun. I do wish they would’ve scrapped the RC class. They could’ve added some more legends or just reduced the set down to 500.

Cards look nice honestly. Hope box prices keep dropping

How many sp per box ?

Or are there no sp ?

Card # 600-700 maybe ?

[UCCF]

So here's an 8 boxes of Lite (1/2 case) report. Per 8 boxes, I received:

8 colored parallels (1 per box)
6 aqua wave non-numbered
8 X-fractors
31 mini diamonds
27 refractors
1 auto (Mike Yaz)

The good - the colors on these really pop. The color parallels are vibrant in hand.

The bad - with 1 color parallel per box, there must be a ton of this stuff. Unless the hobby boxes are just stuffed. Also, typical Topps centering problems - a lot of base cards with the picture nudging up against the edge. On the plus side, most of the centering issues I've seen so far are on the base cards. The parallels have all be pretty spot on.

Are there odds for the auto's? Probably no way to determine print run since auto's are not numbered. But 1 parallel per box sucks and means I will probably be dumping my lite boxes.

[UCCF]

Also - the list of pack odds for non-autos on the Lite box wrapper is much shorter than I'd expected. I think there's a lot more "hobby only" parallels than they let on.

Refractors - 1:4
Black & White mini diamond - 1:4
X-fractor - 1:16
Aqua wave - 1:16
*Blue mini-diamond - 1:49
*Atomic red - 1:98
*Green/Yellow 70th - 1:99
*Rose gold mini diamond - 1:131
*Platinum 70th mini diamond - 1:140
*Gold/Rose gold 70th - 1:196
*Orange/Yellow 70th - 1:393
*Black/gold 70th - 1:982
*Black/red 70th mini diamond - 1:1963
*Superfractor - 1:9772

Pink auto - 1:395

1952 Recreate SP - 1:13710

So only 10 numbered parallels, including the superfractor.

The LITE boxes sound like fun at $50

So looks like 1 auto per 1 1/2 cases. Not a case hit.

Yeah and probably the price these should be. I think these will get close to $60 after everyone sees the breaks.

That's about right. I feel lucky - I got the auto so far, and one of my colored parallels was Pete Alonso black/red to /5.

But it's easy to see a case of this filled with stuff to /99 and /199, and no auto.

Thanks! That's very dissapointing that #'ed are that rare in Lite.

Seeing Cole Hamels in a braves uniform is such a bummer. Still might chase it. Hit me up with any color

When did 1 #'d parallel per box become unacceptable?
