Some nice hits from the boxes so far. My one MC box was a dud with the best being an orange Moreno (wrong DB) and base Carroll.

That Orange Moreno isn't a dud. Maybe not a HUGE hobby hit but he has the potential to be a top-3 Catcher for a decade. Not shabby!

Thanks. But the price wise not that great of a hit (currently). Maybe a good hold and see type of card. And yes, it is the off season so card prices are depressed at the moment.

Got my one MC box. Beat the color odds, extra color plus all /50 or less, even though the names weren't top-notch I'm happy to hit a red.

Even got a few decent base hits.

RaceDog · 11-27-2023, 07:21 PM

My MC Box: 2 low end color and a decent SP Of Druw.

Kabuki · 11-27-2023, 10:14 PM

My box arrived today and happy with the Salas and other RCs. Have to wait to see how the other prospects do

One and done from MC sale. Didn't even realize this shipped.

Really nice, Celesten! I do wish they would have the 1st logo on the IVs though.

Little bummed they didn't have this. Not sure how the value holds up over time versus the 1sr.

Did great on my one MC box, 3 numbered parallels, Michael Harris RC /99, Francisco Alvarez RC /50, and the 1/1 pink of Andy Acevedo. Not the best name but my first Pad!!!

That'll do.

I was pleased to grab a Nolan Jones BC sapphire gold RC/50 for $20+3.
I know for rookies the BC sapphire is far inferior to TCS but still happy with that price.

TexanFan · 11-28-2023, 03:03 PM

My one box:
Yellow: Michael Arroyo
Orange: Gunnar Henderson
Aqua: Sebastian Walcott
Gunnar Henderson base (note that both Henderson cards were in the same pack)

stangy24 · 11-28-2023, 03:44 PM

I took one for the team. Only color in my single box was a Drew Waters green /99. Best RC was a Gunnar. That's it.

Hahahah so you're who I lost that one to! I offered 20 on it pretty much when it was listed... then got the Got Away email and I saw that I just missed it.

CowboyDan · 11-28-2023, 04:35 PM

My one box was pretty solid:

Aqua /99: O'Hoppe
Orange /75: Celesten
Variation: Salas

Yeah, I mean less than the cost of a pack? Seemed a good deal.

bmann33 · 11-28-2023, 05:39 PM

One box rip:
Gold Machado
Orange Casas RC
Holliday Sapphire Selections
Adley base

Sometimes it drives me crazy seeing everyone else post about their amazing boxes while mine were mediocre at best. None of the Bowman Chrome releases were particularly kind to me this year unfortunately.

Between Chrome, Mega and Sapphire, I've opened dozens of boxes and haven't even hit a single base Celestin card lol.

Maz914 · 11-28-2023, 05:57 PM

My one MC box results:
Kevin Ereu Orange /75
Triston Casas Sapphire Selections
Corbin Carroll Image Variation

Here, here!!

Glad that see that others are getting their Dubs, but I agree, wholeheartedly; taking these constant L's....(pardon my French)....SUCKS!!

I busted 4,...."lay persons"....boxes (ie; public offering; non-Monty boxes), and my nearly $1,000 purchase yielded (literally) probably less than $50 in FMV/return!! "Best" (and I use that word in the loosest of senses) 2 cards I pulled were an image variation of Jasson Dominguez #/50, and a Ronald Acuna Orange #/75. All of my other colors were of Joe Shmo, nobodies. Based solely on the results that I've seen here & on YT, seems like Monty members have (collectively-speaking) yielded much better results than public offerings.

I haven't had a "W" on ANY....2023 Topps product. From flagship right on through to the premium releases/products. From a sportscard-collector/hobbyist perspective, this year can't be over....soon, enough! Here's hoping that my 2024 collecting ventures are EXPONENTIALLY BETTER than '23 has been!

bub838 · 11-28-2023, 06:48 PM

Pete Alonso /99
Elian Soto /75
Spencer Jones image variation /50

Definitely could have been worse.

I’ll take all cards from your 4 boxes for $50
