One state closer. I have this weird feeling Smartpost uses Uber drivers to transport across country.

I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone yesterday with 2 Fedex agents. Had to explain SmartPost to both of them. Even went as far as to offer a tracking number from a package delivered to my PO Box 2 weeks ago to prove they actually do it. Asked for my package to be sent to the nearest Fedex Store, today I get tracking and it still shows it's heading to my PO Box. They are the Topps of shipping companies

I hope to one day feel the rush of pulling a super. That is a sick card, Montecristo. Congrats!

I was afraid public boxes would be duds, but does not look to be the case at all.

this stufff about the possibility of frontloaded hits in earlier-released FF boxes has gotta be one of the dumber lines of conversation on a thread full of some real stupidity.

i don't understand the fascination with conspiracy theories in real life and i sure don't get em when it comes to a baseball card company. i just pulled a soto red /5 from a box received yesterday. please, if you are going to spread paranoia just go join your Q friends on some bottom-feeding chat or chan and leave us be.

Completely agree. Topps can't even process orders and ship things right. I can't imagine what would happen if they tried to front load a release.

Great ones for public and duds for public.....similar to MC.

A local breaker ripped 20 boxes, saying all from public sale and only 1 auto out of the 20. Best card was a gold Franco rc, but that was it as far as main hits. Lowest hit was a /35 of Ian Anderson.

Not much.

20 boxes on a release of 15k, purely coincidental. Especially since they were at least 7 different orders and probably at least 7 different cases.

Houdinis breaks have been similar as far as auto frequency

My three arrived:

1st box: no regular refractor, three black refractors (Juan Soto, Rodolfo Castro, Yogi Berra) and a Babe Ruth Power Kings.

2nd box: Trea Turner refractor, Triston McKenzie gold refractor, Randy Johnson Flamethrowers, and an Ozzie Smith auto /25.

3rd box: Zack Wheeler and Cal Ripken, Jr. refractors, Corey Seager prism refractor, Cal Raleigh gold refractor, and a Pete Alonso Power Kings.

Had fun and was able to make one complete set, so I think this was about average for the cost and pretty decent for the odds. Now to wait for Archives Snapshots...
