but these are mega boxes, surely your friends would understand in that case.

Maybe he just has really $hitty friends. Or he has no friends and doesn’t know how real friends would actually react.

Hit from a $25 mega. Not mine.

What is the difference between the Metallic and Silver Metallic /10.

They look identical.

As you are ripping through your boxes a couple of things to note as I just opened 4 boxes.
-SPs and Super Rare are not turned around and can be hard to notice unless you check the codes (819 and 821).
-The Rare (820) are turned around and easy to find.
-I averaged 2 short prints per box so if you only find out you probably need to check for the other one.

This is spot on, exactly what I saw from the four boxes I opened this morning.

Just opened my 10 from Walmart. Only 1 Wander base, but did get a Wander metallic. Managed to get 8 Julio base and 2 Julio lights necklaces though. Got 5 each of the other good rookies and a Witt lights necklace as well. The only colored parallel was a red Ernie Clement /99.

Fedex shows mine are due for delivery yesterday. Probably another Sunday actual delivery. Four days to get here from Chicago.

Fedex is so bad

My boxes from Topps were originally scheduled for Thursday 12/08 then quickly changed to Friday 12/09. Yesterday it went from pending to now Tuesday 12/13.

I'm still waiting on 2 boxes of 2022 Update from Topps that went "missing" on 11/06/2022 in Virginia. Interesting thing is that I had two orders of two boxes each from Topps and they both have the same tracking info, only the missing boxes shipment just stopped on 11/06/2022. I've been in touch with Topps multiple times, they finally opened a case with FexEx and said it will take 8-10 weeks.

Can't find these anywhere in the wild where I live. Hoping the hype dies down when the next shipment comes in. I took for granted that I would be able to find these in the wild and didn't order any from Topps or Walmart.com. They've never been tough to find before at least for me.

That’s weak. They could put a hold on your original delivery and send out a replacement ASAP. You shouldn’t have to wait for some lame case to get resolved.

I agree, especially since it is 2022 Update, and not a limited or high dollar release.

FedEx has the worst customer service that I've ever experienced (Verizon comes in at second, but its not even close). I called FedEx and they just read me a script, so I called back again the following week and same script.

Me neither. I only have one local Walmart, and I am not willing to drive all over to find it. I’ve never seen it sell out like this, but hopefully they will restock. I think mine may have never been stocked, there isn’t a hole in the wall of cards and no sticker on the shelf for it.

This is how it's gone at my Walmart for the past couple of years. Then it shows up again after a while and stays on the shelves for a few months.

I would be fine with this. I don’t need to open them before XMAS it could be a year round thing for me.
