I originally ordered 48 loose boxes (two orders of 24 boxes) and 2 sealed cases.

They sent me FOUR sealed cases and 24 loose boxes (one of the loose boxes is banged up but I'll take this outcome ANY day of the week).

Thank you, Buffalo and Topps, for this awesome holiday treat!!!

Are you ripping? I would love to see that recap!

I definitely won't rip all my boxes because I generally sell enough to recoup most (if not, all) of cost and then have some to hold for the long-term. I'd like to sit on 1-2 sealed cases for "free", if possible, too.

But I did take a quick work break to rip 3 boxes and I just hit the BIGGEST card of my life.....HOLY CRAP....from an $80 box too.

Haha sorry, I wanted to let some excitement build but I also can't contain my excitement alone. Sharing below!

Don't worry, there's still a lot of other (and bigger) Ohtani cards yet to be hit. This might not even be that big of a card for others but it's definitely a monster for me.



Lol, disregard my wife's hair under the card. I was so excited, I set the card on the ground, ran over to my camera to take a pic, then sleeved it up ASAP.

Amazing one and great pull, I thought it might be the flag booklet for a moment! I guess you still have 69 boxes left.

The Trout Captains insert 1/1 was posted to the Tweeter. I'm a sad boy.

For some reason I was thinking those Captain 1/1s were autos. Still fantastic card event without.

I opened my first 4 boxes and was disappointed after seeing so many great pulls on here. I have another 4 coming next week... hopefully they will be better.

Congrats, as well! Ohtani base relic, J-Rod and Alonso autos /25 or less and a Roki IV - all for roughly the price of a Jumbo box of Bowman Draft.

That’s a beauty! I don’t understand how the flag patches aren’t going for considerably more.

That is AWESOME man!! Well deserved!!

Wow I just opened 12 boxes from the seller from Buffalo and it was an absolute disaster. Box after box thinking it couldn’t get worse but it got worse.

These are the autos I got from 12 loose boxes. There was a Francisco Lindor base relic card and Yoshida 2006 gold and Joc Peterson base red /5 were the best non autos.


I would love to see how others do from those boxes from Buffalo. I wonder if Topps purposely gave crappy boxes to them and left decent boxes on their site because this break was unusually bad vs. others I have seen.

Well, speaking as someone who broke four boxes that were in the same general camp (see my earlier post, if you're interested), I hope I can say this without you taking offense - thanks for taking one for the team. At least that J Rod auto is nice...

eastbayak hit a Shohei /25 auto relic, so there's that.
