Just picked up four hobby boxes and two jumbo boxes from the Topps site. Looking forward to opening these.

Terrible timing for this release for me, low pay last month, haven't gotten paid yet this month

I enjoy pro debut, mostly because it's a reasonably priced drop

Hobby has 6 more base sets too. I've been getting $50-$70. So let's say $60 average. That's $360 in extra sets plus the 24 autos. Even if you said $10/auto figuring the scrubs offset the better stuff, that's a $600 difference in expected sell value. Jumbo does have the extra 144 chrome cards, but those are mostly base. Even if you said the chromes were $200, which I doubt they'd be that high, but for argument's sake hobby is a $400+ advantage with a retail price difference of $240. That still puts hobby at $160+ over jumbo in real EV.

So, the base chromes are refractors and there are also refractors #/99? What's the deal here?

Refractors are thick stock with /99 on the front.

As a Cubs fan it was fun to pull him. Also got his paper /10 and Chrome /99 in the case.

I will say collation for me on chrome is pretty awful, not even close to a complete set from a jumbo and hobby case. Lots of double/triples.

If anyone wants to see a counter to STLtoMIN's ridiculous case, here's my Jumbo:









My collation was pretty weird too:

Few Key Base Chrome Spots:
3 Langford, Jenkins, Anthony, Walcott, Basallo, De Paula, Salas, Mayea
2 Skenes, Clark, Crews, Chourio, Holliday, Celesten, Emerson, Miller, S. Jones

Some of my '23 Bowman Draft Glass guys and their number of base:
3 Peete, Farmelo, Wilson, Shaw, Eldridge, Davis, Head, Bradfield, Meyer, Mitchell
2 Troy, Zanetello, Taylor
0 Nimmala, Gabriel Gonzalez, many others...
