I believe they have always been 1 in 20 Packs/Boxes.

750 Card Print Run - 100 Card Checklist 6 Base Cards Per Pack

= 12,500 Packs exactly

20 Packs Per SP = 625 Total SPs = 62ish Per Player.

I opened 35-40 boxes with zero image variations. At 1 in 20 variance can be very high. You easily go 100 random boxes without pulling a single SP.

Not sure what to think.

I had a two box order that had a label created about 15 minutes ago. The order was not cancelled and still showed processing.

I ALSO got the same notification for one of my 2 Box orders that was cancelled and even shows the order status as "Closed"

Thanks for that! I am so thankful there are folks out there far smarter than I.

No complaints here as the variation I pulled was Julio Rodriguez. I note one just sold on eBay for 950...

Typically, with these label creations, the box gets picked up and on its way at maximum 2 days, mostly 1 day...so possibly by tomorrow or Monday evening at the latest, if these are really shipping out.

Nice...congrats! So possibly the dust has settled in terms of public order cancellations...and now they're shipping out the MC replacement orders...and possibly some of the non-cancelled public orders?

Just got a tracking number from FedEx on a 3 box order from my MC account.

Order placed over phone has had no movement with it's tracking.

I just received tracking on a 3 box order that topps cancelled the other day. Not picked up or anything so I don't expect anything.

My box is in the hands of fedex, I live in secure building which they have no access. Who knows how and when I get my box. They don’t even leave a not they came by. I know my box will be underwhelming but I just want it in my hands..

Like others, just got FedEx notification with reference number that matches public FF order (3 boxes). Really surprised if I do end up receiving them, especially when others have already gotten cancellation memos. I ordered fairly early during the drop (2:45 PST), so I wonder if it has anything to do with it being (potentially) fulfilled.

It would be the ultimate troll if they sent us Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary boxes.

I also just received a shipping notice for the 1 additional box of FF that I bought thru the public sale- this is in addition to the 1 MC box I bought & received a couple weeks ago.

received topps notices of shipment for 2-box and 3-box orders during public sale on mc account. orders were placed within the first 10-15 minutes of public sale. it appears as if timing of orders during public sale may be relevant...

and now topps shipping notices for FF 3-box orders from non-mc account for purchases made within first 15 minutes of public sale. it looks like really timing is the issue(?)

At this point if they are still printing a bunch of labels for items that aren't available it would feel like something more than incompetence.

I apparently got lucky with my 10 boxes of 3D. No J-Rod (at all, not even rookies in motion) but I did pull a Wander base rc, 2 Witt Jr base, and…….a Witt Jr image variation. Can’t complain too much.

They are still clueless i talked to them on the phone today they are printing labels the guy said but not sure when shipping is actually going to happen because they are still canceling orders so even though a label is made your order can still be canceled

Wtf, i waited outside my building for 2 hours outside my entrance to make sure I catch the fedex person. The app updates to tell me delivery exception, during the time I was waiting outside I saw no fedex truck or worker. What the hell is going on.

Just remembered I never got my set 5 auto. If they aren't sending out shipping notifications am I just expected to just wait indefinitely? How will they know it didn't ship if I call them?

Your driver decided his shift was done. Not unique to FedEx. Hopefully you'll get it tomorrow.

My single MC Box has finally been picked up, so it is on its way. Should see it after it spends a week traveling around several backwoods towns in PA.
