The key difference is that the Panini autos were usually $1-$5 ones and always sticker autos too.

I found 5 at Meijer and opened. Got 8 numbered but no auto unfortunately. The best numbered being a Darryn Peterson #/125.
Also, the centering for most of my Mojo cards was less than ideal. A well centered example of any card will be a challenge….or it might just be my small sample size

Also hit a base Mojo of Kon, Curry, and Lebron

Mine were more or less centered well especially the numbered ones.

I found 8 megas and 16 blasters. The 8 megas were absolutely loaded and I stopped ripping the blasters halfway through because they were so garbage.

Do we know if there are case hits of any sort in the blasters? I may open the rest if so. If not they are going to get comfortable on a shelf somewhere.

[weatherwarrior]

The blasters have the potential for GPK and anime case hits.

[oldgoldy97]

Two megas so far.

Five numbered, one red logo.

[scotts]

I just ripped 5 Megas, nice color but no banger:
Oziyah Sellers /299
Isaiah Denis /250
Jamir Watkins /250
Jaren Jackson Jr /199
Otega Oweh /175
Jamal Murray /175
Obi Agbim /99
Alex Toohey Red Logo Rookie Refractor

[bub838]

I opened four. Three autos and 7 color.
The best card has been a Kon base mojo and Harper base mojo.
Autos and color are nice to hit but they aren’t worth anything.

FWIW, my (5) total Amazon orders with an initial, adverted delivery day/date of TODAY,...are now showing June 3 & June 16th!

Technically speaking, I guess you can say they were showing a June 3 & 16th delivery date. I obviously cancelled them!

Got 3 boxes of Mega direct from Topps yesterday, I have opened two so far. Interestingly, one of the three boxes was missing the shrink wrap. That box had one pack which had both a Redemption card for a Bronny James Mojo Auto (too bad it's the son and not the father!) and a Cooper Flagg Red variation RC refractor. The other box had nothing special...

[gomiamigo]

4 boxes from 2 orders of 2 from Dick's. Terrible collation. Didn't hit a single card of any of the top college guys. Only top rookie I hit was paper Flagg and a VJ insert.

Got a gold auto of Ajay Mitchell, sticker auto.

No idea if the women's mojo cards will be worth more than $1.

6 #'d cards in 4 boxes. Multiple dupes.

Sounds like this product comes down to whether you got the good part of the collation or the bad part.

Christian Anderson mega and Zuby/299 were the best college hits.

Wow that's cool. A guy in my area is selling some boxes without the shrink wrap I guess I should buy them!? LOL kidding but weird that you got it shipped to you like that and that box was loaded! Congrats.

[sandlotsportcards]

Opened my 3 mega from Topps. Not good. 4 total colored mojo. Best being Jalen Johnson /25 and Noah Penda /250. Best Mojo were Wemby Base, Caleb Wilson Base, and Caleb Wilson Mega Prospect Mojo Insert. Won't be opening any more.

[yiguiri2002]

Opened one of my two that arrived from Amazon. Best card was a LeBron Mojo.

Much better than the blasters but still pretty rough.

[oldgoldy97]

My numbered included a Tre Johnson mega rookies orange mojo refractor /25 and a Clingan gold mojo refractor /50. Nice looking if not too valuable.

Or, I mean, $499 OBO.

Do not buy them. The first pack always tends to be the serial #card. Pack 3 or 4 is the auto or additional serial based on my observation.

When did you place the order? Waiting for shipping notification still from Amazon.

On the 28th. The weird thing is that UPS delivered it.

I'd be happy with that. Pulling an orange in retail is rare. These would be to the moon if it had been flagg. Lol.

Same here. I have about 10 separate orders. Some are arriving next week and 2 are arriving in June. I also canceled those.

[h00perstar34]

Ripped 10 so far

3 gold auto rc mojo /50 Newell, Broome, Riley redemption
16 total color, best Wemby yellow /75



Not the best names but this stuff has potential looking at the auto checklist.

I better track mine. I know UPS doesn’t have them today.

[sammy3469]

If anyone cares, they are restocked at Fanatics

[Somuchjunkwax]

Opened my 2 from Amazon today. These have way more potential than any other retail format I have seen. I got 5 numbered cards (3 & 2) and an auto /75.

Knueppel gold Mega Rookies insert /50, Javon Small auto /75, Knecht /199, Lively /299 & Nembhard /299
