Topps may replace this (if you want) given that damage - I have had a couple of 1/1s replaced by them.

It is a great "signature" pull in any case!

[hotcalsun]

Couple of quick updates:
- In a wild of wilds - somehow my last case had 10 unnumbered crumpled foil in addition the expected 2 per box. Guess it makes up for my crappy case. I had only gotten one previously.
- My lowest number across 2 cases was Orange /25, while my 10 boxes yielded 2 Black Shimmer /10s.
- i did contact Topps about my 1st case with all the "missing" hits, they responded that there is no guarantees with the product and insisted their product pages never said 2 were guaranteed. They did say they would make good on the 6 packs that only had 4 cards in them, so that's at least something.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread but there were 2 FGC numbers (ending 6004 vs 6005) for sealed cases. Anyone know what the difference is (hopefully not contents but you start to wonder)?

For what it's worth, mine was the one that ended in 6004.

Mine was the same, 6004. Given this product was on the shelf for a year - wonder if they initially planned hobby / mega, or mega / blaster or some sort other configuration before it was finally settled and produced?

Either that or the 6005s have autos and the relics, and the 6004s didn't.

Were both of your cases 6004 too? I've seen someone with a sealed 6005 case (outside of BO) though. I suppose it's still possible what you said about their original plans, and Topps just checked off a random box (which happened to be 6005).

Anyone on the forum have a 6005? If so, rip and let us know :P

Yes, both of mine were 6004. And I agree if anyone has a 6005, could be like the "lucky hits" on the invoices from Topps Now.

6004 => non-breakers
6005 (with "lucky hits") => breakers

In all seriousness, hopefully it's just what you alluded to earlier (scratching the plan to have 2 configurations but forgetting, and not caring to fix, the FGC label).

[eastbayak]

By the way, hotcalsun, congrats on hitting 10 unnumbered Crumpled parallels!!

As a bottom feeder, I'm here for that.

Still available on Topps, gotta sell sell sell so you can buy buy buy so you can rip rip rip.

Will be cool to see these at the merch table at shows ... definitely made enough for that.

How’s the surface/finish on the base cards? In case of trying to get band members to sign them in the future….

If they're glossy rub them down with baby powder before signing. I've never had a problem with ink bubbling on the glossiest cards by doing this.

Sold out on Topps and BO price bump immediately.

To the MOOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peterose4hof]

Ripped 4 boxes. The cards look great; especially some of the insert sets.

My lowest #d parallel was /50. Lots of /199 & /99

This product would have been a slam dunk if the print run was a little lower.

I'll put together a want list to fill a set in case anyone wants to trade.

slammmmmm dunk. almost feel like these have to had went out in waves. tens of cases worth of product has hit eBay and only 1 relic auto, 2 relics, and no regular autos?

maybe even a better metric.... already ~5 1/1s have surfaced? more?

Hmmm...You do have to wonder. Why else would there be two numbers? I suppose different configurations could be possible. I'm not familiar enough with the process of the FGC numbers. Can anyone else shed any light on this? I really hope these aren't shipped in waves or that hits come down to which FGC # a person receives.

[justin80]

a triple auto /5 is live on ebay

[LondonGames]

Starting to think single Autos didn't make it to pack out.

[TimBuckTwo]

Yes quite odd that ZERO have surfaced.

[rentz]

opened my two boxes.

box one i got a /10 and a /99
box two had 3 hits. /199 /50 /199

need to go through now and find my dupes and needs for a set

[dd316]

There is still a LOT to be opened.

[crdbored]

Billie Joe tour relic auto 1/1 is up on ebay. The seller doesn't have 1/1 in the title.

A big one off the board.

Too bad that it's a sticker auto. With that said, what a monster. So tempting.
