I honestly didn't expect them to be very tough pulls. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Great news!!!

I’m a buyer on Julio for sure if this stays true.

LOL. And he's litterly bending back the stack of cards after opening the pack, they must be bowed. I hate bowed chrome cards.

Hmmm.. the base SP RC seems really rare, it would be hilarious if they were retail only. And i thought at least Julio had a live autos.

[KhalDrogo]

If the extended base RCs are 1 per case or fewer with no parallels, this wax is an unmitigated disaster. But the extended base RCs are fantastic!

I've seen 4 Spencer Strider autos pulled so far...
I wonder if TC mass produced them thinking "junk pitcher"

Idiots trying to sell them for $300 plus on eBay..

Braves might be one team worth targeting in breaks if prices are reasonable just for Strider autos/numbered and Acuna numbered/variations.

[anusinha]

Man..... this might be the biggest bust of a product since WWE Prizm. Pump and Dump!!

edit: which i guess wasnt really that long ago, but this wax is going to come crashing down hard. Are there parallels for the SP RCs?

I'll never break with someone who wears gloves, especially white fabric gloves. (not that I break with anyone, lol)

I talked to a museum archivist. They said when handling paper items, the best thing to do is wash your hands with soap then dry completely and NOT wear gloves. The risk is greater that not being able to feel the item in your hands and snag it on the material of the gloves is far greater than any risk from skin contact if you wash the oils off your skin and dry them.

This whole idea of breakers wearing gloves comes from people who don't know any better and think it's the best practice.

Would it shock anyone if that was the case? Topps has to have been printing this forever and they were late additions.

I think that is the big question right now …..

Imagine busting open 4 cases of hobby and not pulling a Wander parallel. LMFAO.

I only break with people that wear black gloves.

I've been saying this forever - it effects your pressure sensitivity and IMO is worse than without (just hold by the sides if you're worried about prints)

That would work too...anything other than putting fingers all over surfaces.

To be fair, 99.9% of the cards are worthless with or without a fingerprint. In fact a Houdini fingerprint probably has more hobby value than 99.9% of the cards in this product lol.

Why would he debase himself in such a fashion?

[OneSickDegen]

Houdini's first case was a joke. Shane Baz was only SP but miscut. LOL. Spencer Strider the only decent auto. Very sad.

[ChefCurry312]

It’s looking like the SP rookies are less than 1 per case. From what I’ve seen so far, this product seems really watered-down…so many base vet autos & really lacking in color.

People just need to open their own boxes - you can wear whatever you want or go nude - isn’t that a wonderful and novel concept?

Why pay someone more to fondle your cards by participating in a break?

Imagine hitting a base extended SP Julio and having it be 90/10 after beating the odds.......

All it takes is one person to pull a gold wander base and box prices will triple.

Oh wait, this isn’t a football product.

and……. they’re not going to be wearing gloves when the cameras are off - and I’d want to see those hands! Are they dirty with dirt filled, gross fingernails? Stained from chain smoking? You can tell quite a bit about someones life style and choices from the appearance of their hands….

[imbluestreak23]

I have revised my target buying price to $0.99/pack
