Wow, I hope my two lots look that good. Looks like mine will arrive next Tuesday. I'm in NorCal so no way they shipped from AZ With this long of a lead time.

That’s not too bad. Essentially paid $40 for a Harper RC that could grade well. I mean it’s slightly less than $40 resale, but better to turn $40 into $30 than $200 into $20.

I got my two today, and am not sure how I feel...

5x 1991 Fleer Ultra
5x 2015 Topps Series 1 dollar store
5x 2015 Topps Series 2 dollar store
5x 2015 Topps Update dollar store
5x 2015 Archives dollar store
5x 2016 Topps Series 1 dollar stare
5x 2016 Topps Series 2 dollar store
5x 2017 Topps Series 1 dollar store
5x 2017 Topps Series 2 dollar store
5x 2017 Topps Update dollar store

4x 3 pack blister with 2013 Topps Series 2 showing
2x 3 pack blister with 2013 Topps Series 1 showing
1x 3 pack blister with 2012 Topps Series 2 showing

3x plastic sealed unopened packs (4 packs in each) All three have a rack of 2006 Topps, one series 1, one series 2, and one series 1 and 2. One has 2014 Topps Series 2 I think 1988 Donruss showing, 1 has 2014 Topps Series 2 and 1990 Fleer showing, and the last has 2 2014 Topps Update dollar store showing.

And then a 20 pack repack box has 2006 Topps, 2007 Fleer Ultra showing.

Nothing great, nothing horrible.

45x dollar store packs.
5x lose junk wax.
21x packs from blisters (mostly bad)
12x packs from plastic packs (2014 Update could be good)
20x packs fin crappy repack.

So 103 packs, I got a couple extra. Going to open half now for my April addition to my repack and the other half next month for it! Hopefully I can wait that long to open them all!

I'm happy to see some 2014 Update being included. Good wave now...

It's all about buying and hoping you hit the wave with the X pack(s) that you want...looks like 2014 Update is back!

AR on the label or the shipping tracking origin?

I'd be fine with not seeing anymore of 1991 Fleer Ultra. Everything else, is at least decent (chance at RC's of HOFers).

1991 Ultra is just junk on junk on junk!

^ this. The conspiracy debate here about shipping origination cracks me up. Of course they're coming from the same place!

Love the conspiracy theories. Makes for a good read. There has to be a reason why Person A didn’t get the good packs like person B did. It can’t be just luck. No it has to be where they are shipped from. Person A is getting screwed!

For sure. My favorite was the claim that the employees in Rochester caught wind of the value of the product via this thread and started opening the blisters and removing the good packs.

Btw, since you're in Lancaster, do you ever find any deals at The Green Dragon?

Yeah, it's terrible. How could people think that way?! Geez...these are low level workers...no time to check BO!

I wonder when this stuff will dry up. I bet the majority of the stock is from a store liquidation as someone else pointed out.

I’m not claiming conspiracy at all, but...

One of my blister was open and all it contained was a 2013 Series two dollar store pack, a 1990 Fleer and a 1990 Donruss....
