Mine made it to Ellenwood Georgia at 5 AM this morning but no scans since then. I'm assuming it will eventually get to me, but this has been such a cluster that nothing's off the table

I know it was mentioned much earlier, but now that more FF boxes have been opened… has anyone gotten a well-centered Wander Franco base card? I’ve hit 3 in my 5 total boxes, and each of them are very o/c…. top-to-bottom and right-to left….and most of the ones I see on eBay are also o/c.

Seems like very poor QC from Topps on what should be one of the better cards from the release

I try not to pay attention to the orders, especially when I select the free/lowest cost shipping. I'm in Virginia in the DC metro area, and the shipments will spend a week bouncing between North Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia before delivery. Some of those days they will just sit in the same facility. For example, one of my shipments this week was scanned in a Maryland facility, then a West Virginia facility, and then back to the same Maryland facility.

FedEx is the absolute worst of the big three in this area. No contest.

Public order - 2 Boxes.
Box #1 just opened.
SP Refractor Griffey
RCs: Julio, Witt and Franco
Gold Eovaldi (2 other blah base refractors)

Not the best box in the world, but also not bad.

I opened one box
Gold Refractors: Jorge Soler and Jared Walsh
SP refractor: Jackie Robinson
Refractor: Spencer Torkelson
Insert Refractor: Bryce Harper Power Kings
Rookies: Witt, Cruz and Wander (OC) like everyone else

Even though they’re not great names, I was really surprised to find two gold refractors.

I feel like this comment is being overlooked. I want to know more. Did Topps start charging people's cards for the "free" boxes?

I had my MC order charged and shipped. I received that one. I then placed another two box order on my MC account and a three box order during the public sale. My card was charged and then both orders were cancelled and refunded. Topps then shipped out the three box order and I received that yesterday. No charge to my credit card again as of now.

On my wife's account, I placed two orders of three boxes during the public sale. Same thing happened where both were cancelled. Paypal went through to my Amex, and then was refunded. Topps sent out one of the three box orders and I received that yesterday. Paypal does not have a new charge as of now for those boxes.

I don't think it's that MC or public are loaded, it's just a good product.

I have a 2021 bowman platinum superfractor 1/1 of tork. And I’m a white sox fan, so I have no need for it. Do you?
