I do love the new black look.

But I do miss that it's not the more common insert it was in year 1

Anyone else open a hobby and the silver pack was missing?

I saw a jumbo box opened yesterday that had 3 silver packs. Possible connection?

[StlBen]

I am a buyer on any of the "Base Cardinals Variation Autographs " especially the victor Scott. If anyone sees one pulled please hit me up.

Thank you! My son pulled it as we split the box in half. He was like, “what’s this”, and I was like

Yes. One of boxes in my case was missing one. Happened in Series 1 as well. I filled a missing content request.

This stuff (hobby) is a really rough rip, even at Topps dot com pricing. Oofa

Yes. I submitted a "Product Defect Submission" on the 11th and I am still waiting to hear back from Topps.

[ledgewerx]

I opened 1 Hobby and 1 Jumbo.

I got a good amount of numbered parallels and a good RC Auto.

The Acuna Blue and the Soto Gold are good.

Crews is a good rookie pull. Kim and Rocker are mid-level rookies.

Austin Hays Black 56/74
Hunter Goodman Blue Foil 116/150
Corbin Burnes Blue Foil 47/150

Ronald Acuna Blue 1990 All Star Game Used Relic 79/150

Colorado Rockies Team Card Purple Foil 187/250
Alexander Canario Purple Foil 246/250

Juan Soto Gold Parallel 1877/2025

Dylan Crews RC 35th Topps
Kumar Rocker RC 35th Topps

Mason Montgomery RC Rainbow Foil
Hyesong Kim RC Rainbow Foil

Jace Jung RC 35th Game Worn Relic

Trey Sweeney RC Baseball Stars Autographs

I like to put sets together and I was concerned about collation after reading other posts. I did really well and only need 5 cards to complete my set.

A little better than I expected but the value was definitely in opening the excitement of opening packs and not in any potential monetary return.

I’m sure it’s in here somewhere but do the variations have different codes?

I got 2 hobbies and 2 jumbos. 1 silver pack only had 2 cards, but another had a Machado /25 auto. I called that a wash. 🤣

[Tom789]

I went temporarily insane and pre-ordered one case each of hobby and jumbo. I open slowly (1 jumbo and 4 hobby packs each day) but here are the autos from my first box of each. Probably all downhill from here lol.

[whitmm]

Picked up 2 hobby boxes to build my set. Haven't sorted the base yet, but didn't notice any glaring collation issues. Nothing of note in either silver packs. Highlights below

Box1
Estes /2025
Soto 1990 /25
D Harris silver foil
Alcantara relic
M Harris silver foil

Box 2
Trea turner Asg bat relic /25
Edward Cabrera /2025
Cam Smith SP

Stopped and got 2 blasters, because I like the Stars of MLB insert set. Hit a Billy Cook gold real one auto /50 in box 1 and a William Contreras HFA in box 2

-Bobby Witt Jr Running the Bases relic gold #/50
-Team Logo border Isaac Collins RC
-Mike Trout & Seiya Suzuki ML Materials
-Max Muncy Baseball Stars Auto blue #/150
-Merrill Kelly gold #/50
-Joey Bart blue #/150

Nice hits.
I'll piggyback on yours because I also bought one hobby and one jumbo and got a Team Logo border Isaac Collins RC just like you.

Big hit was a 1990 Chan Ho Park Auto out of /50 plus a Junior Caminero Real One relic out of /25, both from the Jumbo.
No luck with the 3 silver packs. I posted the pix in the box breakdowns section.

333/350 towards the base set.
I went 346/350 on Series 1 with the same 2 boxes plus a blaster.

[illadelf]

Wow. I’m not some newbie or guy looking for the “hits.” I love Heritage. I’ve bought plenty of flagship over the years and normally know what I’m getting. I buy maybe 1 or 2 hobby boxes a year these days. Found a hobby shop on my drive home today and decided to go with a box of S2 as it was pretty much the “cheapest” at $130. When did it get like this? Had to be The most underwhelming box I’ve ever purchased. 1 gold numbered to 2025. An insert every other pack. 1 plain relic (at least it was Elly). Yuck.

[jdandns]

You now get only 240 cards in the 20 pack hobby box. That shrinkflation is a real killer when your guaranteed hit turns out to be a ho-hum relic, when that guarantee has basically added $40 to the box price. At least when they were 36 pack boxes, you'd end up with over 400 cards.

Yeah i just bought a box and it was junk, but it is what it is. Way she goes. Sometimes she goes. Sometimes she doesn't. Way she goes

Alonso Relic /150 for the PC at least. A gold /50, purple /250 and /2025.

This is the norm now with Fanatics insane pricing and print runs...

Fanatics site right now has hobby boxes @ 89.99 and jumbos @ 189.99. Still too much but significantly lower than some other places

Retail collation is terrible. Literally have opened the same fat pack three times from the same Walmart purchase of 6 fat packs. Two had the same inserts.
Opened a total of 12 and have 6 Darren Baker RC and 0 Roki RC. Not unheard of ratio with someone like Roki, but the Baker is out of hand.

I have 3 more hobby boxes to open from a case. Most had crap relics but the did get a Michael McGreevy on card 90 auto and a black border of McGreevy in the same box. Lol.

Coolest card was a Paul Goldschmidt /10 Acetate on the Yankees. Probably have like 45 base Soto cards as well smh. I’d guess the last 3 boxes may have junk given the Acetate that came out of the case

[cg5]

Anyone see a Crews Flagship Auto/Patch pulled yet?
