5 cards short of 1 complete set.

2 boxes wilth only 1 parallel, all others had 2-3 parallels each.

Will be ripping the cases later this afternoon and post pictures / results.

Last night, I had a box in my case that had 0 numbered parallels. Truly disappointing as it was the last box of my case too. Debby down moment lol.

Otherwise a fun rip though, best of luck with your case! Nice hits on your loose boxes too (I hit 1 AI SP in my case).

Oof, sorry to hear. Appreciate it.

I hit a pretty sweet super duper foil factor 1/1

Bruin7 · 08-27-2025, 04:10 PM

Sorry stupid question. Are the crumpled foils more or less rare than numbered ones?

Not stupid at all, they are quite a bit more rare than the gold crumpled /50 but seemingly less rare than a red foil

I think the print run is around 16 or so if they are seeded like 40th but they might be tougher in this release

I pulled 3-4 across 27 boxes (1 case and 7 loose). I think I pulled 2-3 red foils /5, 2-3 black /10s and 6-8 gold crumpled /50 so I agree with PD's assessment. Print-run probably in between the black /10 and gold crumpled /50.

Bruin7 · 08-27-2025, 04:38 PM

Thank you gents. I didn’t open 40th so unfamiliar with them. Thank you.

This seems like such an incredible yield TBH. If the math is still holding out that theres 1800 cases (or less), I'm kinda digging the long shot 1 in 600 chance at pulling one of the 3 1/1 single relic autos. Then you have all of these other goodies....

No worries!

I've never opened GPK before but learned a lot from other helpful BO members and from ripping my boxes.

GPK, at least the Green Day set, is a pretty fun product to open.

Yeah, I think I did well on the color of the numbered cards (particularly red). Also hit gold crumpled cards of some cards that I'm particularly interested in (e.g., Fairy Land, Frye Liner, etc), so although listed on eBay (in case a crazy offer comes in), those will be the ones (along with the unnumbered crumpled Blood Sucking Billie) that I'll keep in the PC once I recoup most/all of initial cost.

I listed nearly 250 cards (still going) and the sales are pouring on (mostly on unnumbered stuff but at good price-points so I'm not complaining at all).

Please excuse the blur. Came out with the ding to the upper left but not gonna complain, was pumped to pull such a nice card from my case!

that's an awesome card! i'm 7 boxes in and my best card so far is a Prickle Rick black shimmer /10. the triple auto must be in one of the boxes i haven't opened yet...

Despite the ding, can't beat a #1/1 (dings are "accepted" with those IMO because there's no alternative).

Also, I think it's harder to hit Dookie cards (at least from my experience).

Congrats on the pull! I would've loved to hit a foilfractor from this set.

Thanks Guys! ^^

Yeah, i didn't even complete the base dookie 30th anniversary insert set 1-10 in a full case.

The art is great, some of my fave cards in the set for sure

Case 1 is opened...results are not stunning, and hopefully not discouraging for all. I had 1 box with zero numbered parallels, and 7 with a single parallel. In addition, I had 6 packs that had 4 cards in them.

In all, I have 56 parallels out of an expect 60, in 30 boxes between my case and my loose boxes. Theoretically if those short packs were supposed to have a parallel in them I would be up 2 numbered parallels vs. the expected 2 per box.

Pulled another American Idiot SP, but still without a standing room only.

We shall see what case #2 reveals....

I did not pull an American Idiot SP in my case but did hit a Standing Room Only Insert. Might be one or the other on a per case basis with some lucky few getting one of each

Also, did not hit a single red foil which i figured was actually a good sign i might hit a super and one fell out at the very end (last box of the case)

I really hope this isn't the case, but if I'm being honest, it has crossed my mind more than a few times.

Oddly in the first case, no parallel below /25. Not shocking given the number of missing.

2nd box of 2nd case pulled my 3rd Mike Dirnt American Idiot SP. Cannot complain.

TimBuckTwo · 08-27-2025, 06:26 PM

I have opened 2 of 10 boxes. Both had 2 #/d parellels.

First had a 75 and 199

Second had a 25 and 50 Crumpled

The crumpled I thought for a moment might be a 1/1 but it was a /50 of an Album cover. Crumpled will be PC.

There's a Billie Joe Relic Auto finally listed on ebay.

Auto is different. So that mean 2 of XX have been pulled?

Love seeing all of us racing to the bottom on eBay. Always great release day adventures.
