I had at least 10 hits (better than refractor cards), only 1 #/d Mirra and have a Rainbow (#/d 15 and #/65) of an Ukrainian. The pineapple and autographs I got were meh. I would not buy a box, way too many misses than hits.

That's because you're judging off of how you did personally which is obviously going to be different for everyone.

I doubt if you were the person in the break forum who hit a Novak auto /25 you'd be posting this lol I've never seen a person that did bad on any product recommend it.

People saying they haven't seen good hits from this like they forgot how to use the break section lol

Can't believe how much is getting ripped right now by breakers.

[Jagsfansunshine]

Finally hit something good in my breaks - Andreeva game set match card. So, I'm done lol. Got some more boxes coming on Monday, but may resell.

Hoping to see more legends autos (Borg, McEnroe, Becker, Seles, etc.) come out next week, been pretty scarce so far despite the numbers looking like they signed more than I initially guessed.

Hoping Topps does their research and comes up with a "Greatest matches" dual auto at some point;
McEnroe/Borg
Chang/Lendl
Evert/Navratilova
Sampras/Agassi
Ivanisevic/Rafter

I didn’t realize Novotna died. Iirc she famously cried after Graf beat her in a Wimbledon final. Novotna went on to win it in 98.

I bet his name is Justin, not only Carlos Auto, but he also picked up Coco Auto in the break.

Just got my 6 boxes and opened them.
Nothing earth shattering. Here's the breakdown if anyone cares -

Numbered -
/499 - 6
/399 - 6
/299 - 2
/250 - 4
/150 - 2
/99 - 2
/77 - 1
/50 - 1

Autos
Not numbered - 11
/499 - 1
/250 - 4
/99 - 1
/50 - 1

Quality was ok, not great. Mirra refractor looks awesome, Alcaraz refractor has dots all over it.
Best box had a Pliskova auto /50, Eubanks auto /250, Sabalenka /250, Venus /250 and Alcaraz refractor

Sounds good - I'll probably receive my cards tommorow or Monday. Will work with price since her cards are dropping a bit now that breakers are flooding things.

It is nice to see boxes actually getting opened this time around. Next time a few on-card autos, some federer/nadal, a little smaller print run on the base autos would be my main tweaks. Getting closer to the ideal product but maybe the intention is to keep it imperfect to make room for higher end product.

Lol - since I posted three more of her autos got listed for auction. Her hand must be sore.

Just finished my blaster case so I can now answer my own question. When I read that autos were 1 in 4 value boxes I thought that was probably an error but it was right on. My case had 10 autos, all numbered to 499. Unfortunately none of them were worth a crap. There were also 10 serial numbered refractors. Interestingly, 9 of the color refractors were in the same box as the auto so there will be a good chance at dud boxes if opening single boxes. I hit some good names with the Sepia refractors. I haven’t had time to sort yet but I think I should be close to building a master set.

Interesting, didn't think autos were in the value boxes either

I just opened a single hobby box cause I could only afford two on preorder and I just hit a carlos alcaraz auto /99 and a djokovic alcaraz dual auto 5/10. Both in the same box. I'm absolutely floored. I haven't opened a box in a year and was saving up for this release. I don't even know what to say.

Realistically, what do you think the dual auto would sell for? I want to keep it but if you all think it could be life changing money or house downpayment money I'd probably do it.

It's an awesome card but I don't think it will get too crazy. I definitely don't see it being house downpayment money. Personally I'd rather have an on-card Netpro Alcaraz and another on card Joker than both of them on stickers on one card. Now is the time to sell though if you want to maximize your profits IMO.

Congrats. Either one of those cards is 10x better than everything combined in the 6 boxes I just opened.

In general, I'd like to see Topps cut the autos in half with the stickers - don't Leaf it up.

How do you come up with that total? Aren't there that many that are numbered plus a million unnumbered ones?

Besides the dual autos, she only has that refractor auto and the associated parallels, unless I'm missing something.

My bad - You're right. 1000 auto parallels total. And then the non-numbered, which is what another 1000?
