Other notables were the Detmers base chrome, Scherzer gold minted, and Jeter die cut. Too bad the Walker is smudged It still was a fun break, and I'll probably see if Topps can replace it. Seems like a theme with the throwback auto cards this year.

Nice Buehler. If you're looking to part with I may be a player.

I love that they used the old basketball Beam Team design. Nice little nostalgia touch.

Quite disappointed to see hobby boxes are sold out on topps but my fault for being late to check I guess. Keep the break pics coming, looks like a good year for my favorite product SC

$149.99 for $200 gift card value (4 x $50)

I haven’t checked if by any chance that these gift cards aren’t “applicable”, but believe it should work fine.

Is the $150 one working for you? It doesn’t let me add to cart and the title says hidden gift cards. Think they are coming but not live yet.

I hadn’t tried until you pointed out, but like you mentioned, I also cannot add it to cart.
So, I guess the $80 (for $100) is the only way to go for now.

Kinda disappointing they did another 1991 homage since they literally did it last year. At some point, it gets hard to know which year something gets pulled from.

Some Amex cards also have a $25 off $100 offer for Fanatics currently.

I forgot about that, I used that and some Fanatics cash I had left over, not a bad deal at all.

Thank you! I missed out on the Topps sale but this is even better. Got one with the Amex Offer. There's also 10% cashback on Rakuten today. Will work out to less than $70 / box.

Wow, really? I was assuming, from what I saw previously, that Frank J's boxes would have it at or near the best price. So I bought two from him at $140 a pop on Friday. Then I heard Topps had them for $100 but they sold out, and now this? Could have had 3 hobby boxes for the price of what I paid for 2. Bummer!

Is it still available on Fanatics? I can't find it. Link? Thanks!

I just got finished sorting my 6 hobby cases and I received zero image variations, zero 1991 variations and zero 1992 variations. I see them on ebay so they are out there in some form.

Wondering if anyone else ripped hobby and had similar results?

Thank you both for the heads up!

Picked up 3 boxes for $261.79 shipped (bought $300 worth of Fanatics gift cards for $239.97).

I'll also be getting 10% cashback via Rakuten.

Basically ~$230 for those 3 boxes. Too bad I no longer use AMEX, would love to save even more haha.

[eastbayak]

And it looks like I was the last to buy.

OOS.

I'm just glad the Fanatics gift cards finally came in, took a couple hours.

I was next in line then. Had them loaded and ready and Costco took 4 hours to deliver the GC's. Very frustrating...should've just pulled the trigger without the GC's!

Sorry to hear man :/

Yeah, Costco took significantly longer than they usually do.

They could potentially restock though. If not, you'll be a step ahead of everyone else with the next popular release.

Same here - Only 2 Hobby Boxes, but I thought that unusual. Maybe I missed a base variation going through the cards, but no way I could miss the other two.

I sorted all the base sets face up looking for any variations and did not have a single one. 6 cases. Based on the odds someone definitely messed up. Just wondering if it is to the Topps Chrome level or if I just got a bad run of cases.

It's possible all the variations I am seeing on ebay came out of retail.

Wow, 6 cases and no variations? That's either incredibly unlucky, or something weird is going on.

Anecdotally speaking, I usually buy a lot more retail SC than hobby but I don't think I've ever pulled an image variation from a hobby box.

They are on the pack odds. I am at work and dont have the packs in front of me but I think its somewhere around 1:72 packs. To get none in 6 cases there's definitely a problem. Not sure who to even reach out to, but I'd like to know if it was just me or if this is a systemwide failure.
