FatboyWu · 09-22-2020, 06:15 PM

Ordered mine on 9/8. Didn't win a raffle,not an MC member,just clicked a link someone posted on this thread and ordered. Just got shipping notification.

I didn't do so well but these were fun...

Didn't want to create a new template so lifted vollybal's:

Base Duplicates (so many) - would've been better had I nailed triples of a big name or two...
3x - Votto, Yastrzemski, Kluber, DeJong, Andrus
2x - Gallen RC, K. Lewis RC, Acuna, Machado, Hiura, Yelich, Goldschmidt, Abreu, Altuve, Paddack, Moran, Giolito, Santander

So, that's 41 of my 87 base cards (9 Hits) represented in 2x or 3x base.

Notable Single Base:
Trout, Gleyber, Ohtani, Pujols

RC Single Notable Base:
Bichette, Lux, Hoerner, Grisham, Arozarena (+ Lewis, Gallen x2 each)

1985 Insert:
Yordan, Vladdy

Diamond Die-Cut:
Tatis

Colored Parallels:
Green: Lindor, Kikuchi, Heaney
Blue: L. Gurriel
Gold: JD Martinez, Edman

As for shipping: Ordered MC- presale with next day shipping, box arrived today. Again, pretty fun rip.

Not how this is supposed to work but it's Topps so anything goes.

However, I wouldn't be patting myself on the back just yet. Could be boxes of Archives snapshots in there or maybe even Rise of Skywalker LOL.

Yeah, didn't mind the 2 Lewis, Gallen & Acuna and was left wondering if there's a box out there with trips Robert...

But that's an insane amount of dupes/trips out of 87 base from a 200-card set.

The Accountant · 09-22-2020, 07:07 PM

I’m thinking topps realized there was an issue and repacked the remaining boxes. With dupes and trips I bet it kind of crazy at topps. I’m also worried about card quality if they repacked.

callou2131 · 09-22-2020, 07:08 PM

Just got sent an Offer on the Alvarez Super for $7,500 If I had the money I may consider it

Definitely not patting myself on the back, I think its messed up too. I was expecting a cancellation, just putting the info out there for everyone. Everyone that won the raffle and MC members should get theirs first imo.

You sure you didn't win the raffle and just didn't see the email?

TheWrightStuff · 09-22-2020, 07:20 PM

I ordered on 9/2 with the raffle, still processing.

I entered,didn't see an email and checked my spam and TOPPS acct. Someone posted a link in this thread and I just clicked and ordered. People were saying it was sold out but the link that was posted didn't show sold out for me until I checked the next morning. I couldn't believe it really,which is why I was expecting a cancellation. The order # matches on the shipping notification though. First box I've managed to get from Topps in over a year,just hope it doesn't screw over a legit raffle winner.

cardsforever · 09-22-2020, 07:26 PM

I received my MC "Baller" box, but the raffle "Baller" is still processing.

But my Snapshots are on the way and I received my "Bowman Chrome" box today.

Could very well be that you won but didn't get notification. Just another problem with these raffles. You shouldn't have to scramble to find your email before the product is sold out.

This is frustrating as well. I won the raffle, ordered on the 2nd, and am still waiting for any sort of update. I get Topps is way behind, but the radio silence of all of this is frustrating. Just be honest and up front with people (especially since you have our/their money) and it'll go over a bit better. When it's this quiet it raises all sorts of concerns and suspicions.

I dont give 2 flying craps if they are behind. If they are so behind stop spamming me with emails to buy more stuff, if you cant even fill the orders you have.

Word.

slambam · 09-22-2020, 08:09 PM

I don't even know if my Topps shipment will connect with my FedEx Delivery Manager. I thought it was strictly by address, but I've gotten FedEx shipping emails from other orders I've made (ex. Chewy.com and Monoprice.com) but now that I look back, I never got one from my prior Topps order (Finest Flashbacks). Guess I might not know it's shipped until it's at my front door, lol.

I don't think anyone is gonna figure out there method, my theory is they have a monkey flinging poo at order slips. If it hits,it ships. Guess I got lucky.

Sadly, the monkey is the most competent being on that company’s payroll. Poo Monkey should be the CEO.
