2 box break. Got pretty lucky with the players I hit for parallels.

Hayes /50
Mountcastle /25
Griffey /99
Bellinger /50

Most of my cards have small corner dings. This will be a condition-sensitive set. Kinda sucks but can't complain too much.

Complete break

Skipped on the MC offering, but ended up buying 5 boxes after seeing the hype here. It was probably the most exciting rip I have had in a while.

Pujols /5
Acuna Auto
Hayes /50
Aparicio /50
Bellinger /99
McKenzie /99
Fisk /25
Buhner auto
Gilbert auto
Gilbert auto /99
Rooker auto

Looks like some guys did well. Happy for you all. Glad to see wax prices cooling considerably. Better days ahead.

Curious as to what you mean by this. I pulled an auto redemption of Jazz in this product, scratched it, and the code doesn't work. I've tried pretty much every iteration of every questionable character on the back of the card to no luck. Has Topps changed the printing process on these to where it's easier to scratch off the actual characters?

Disregard my last question as this answers it. I have no idea what to do with mine. Don't want to mail it in because Topps customer service has gone bye-bye.

I also had a Jazz redemption that I pulled and it kept saying the code was invalid. I kept trying the same exact code for four days and it finally worked. Since it’s Topps, I had assumed the codes weren’t loaded into the system or something at the time the product was released.

After reading through the horror stories on redemptions, I decided to get my Jazz redemption back out. I must've tried 20 different combos the first night and then I figured something must be wrong with the code and decided to not worry about it for a few days. So I just laid out the code along with every possible reading of certain characters (e.g. 'looks like a 3 but could be a 9 or 8 with a part scratched off' or '0 vs O vs Q') and got it after a couple tries. I think it was the first code I tried which makes it even more infuriating.

Had the same issue with O vs Q. I think the scratching required took the tail off the Q and I spent a while trying different versions of a few characters. I know I’m getting old, but that’s the first time I had to get a loupe out to put in a redemption.

Any tips for scratching redemptions? I ruined an Andrew Vaughn from A&G a while back and pulled an India out of the ASRC boxes. Would rather not wreck this one.

I always use the same dime and this was my first issue. People mentioned in a recent thread using a credit/debit card and maybe that would work better on these. If I pull another one in my incoming boxes, I’ll give that a try.

You will find plenty. I think you are overestimating the Wander effect. He will help move products, but there aren't enough home runs in his bat to overcome the market correction with the print runs we are going to see. Things will be nuts for a few weeks, but then cool off due to sheer volume. If anyone is buying any of his first cards during the first month or so they are going to be extremely disappointed when they look back at those purchases.

$460 with the tax and shipping. Close to secondary market price so no real deal.
