Not burned to the ground.

As for your photo critique, ok Mr. Cracks and Wires

At least my wires are continuous throughout the photo instead of these that clearly do not connect.

I just opened a box and going to say it looks like random sparkly big boxes all over the card. Maybe it's the Box or Square Refractor!

They look like laser/ velocity parallels that panini has. Just was in a half case break and there were 6 autos in 10 boxes.

Best being a Rainiel rodriguez blue moho auto.

Centering and QA/QC looks suspect at best though.

I guess google went through there again last year.

Topps needs to do better with the collation on this year's Megas. The box I bought had virtually identical cards in both Mega packs in the same order. I've seen the same thing online in break videos. I mean it's bad enough when you get the same cards in different boxes, but getting the same cards in two packs in the SAME box really should be something Topps can and should not let happen. It cannot be beyond their abilities to ensure that boxes don't contain near identical packs (one card different, the "hit' spot--Meteoric Rise) when these are the cards you are paying for Topps to provide.

Sometimes "randomness" leads to such odd outcomes, but am I not wrong that this is a pattern with Megas this year?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bowman Chrome Megas have consistently been one of the worst ROI products in the last number of years, no?

Feels like ever since the price hike this is true. You basically pay $40-$50 for two Mojo packs and aren't guaranteed color. Even the autos you can pull are less desirable without the Bowman 1st logo

Like most, it's a good buyer's market for singles. You could pick up any Caminero RC Mojo color of /99 or more for considerably less than an actual mega box for most of last year. If you wanted a Gold and Orange, you could get both for less than the cost of 4 Megas.

I opened 3 and hit a Made blue auto, and an Aidan Smith purple auto. Also hit a Tommy White /299, and an Andrew Salas /199. With the red rookies and lazer looking parallels, I actually like the potential on these. Ordered a case last night. I hadn’t bought anything in a couple months, so I splurged.

If the autos for the guys that are truly 1st's in Bowman Chrome had the 1st logo on them, this box would be an instant buy! Without the 1st logo on the Mega autos, it just kills the overall value of hitting one. Nice pulls though!

Porktornado · 10-09-2025, 01:39 PM

I totally agree. I rip for fun, but like to minimize loss. This set feels like an easy one to get 60-70% back, with upside. Better than Topps chrome that was like 9%. Ok, maybe 15%.

What's up with the Ching-Hsien Ko base cards? Only 2 have surfaced in the month since the product came out. I have enough cards to build 3 sets with extras and didn't pull any of him so I went to check eBay and there are none listed. Only 2 sold and those were within the last 2 days. Really weird to see virtually no base cards. No wonder sets are $350. I'd love to complete mine. It would make the Megas a real no brainer if you can get half your money back on base sets.

These boxes need to keep dropping, no one cares about 19 year old DSL guys in the fall guys! Lets go! Single prices are dropping, lets go!

I remember when it was mean to say this in reference to men or women

Back when Digital Subscriber Lines were all the rage

Ripped my 2 mega boxes (from Target when discounted to $34.99 per) and hit zilch.
