I had separate orders of boxes. Last in first out apparently because my first order hasn't shipped yet and my last order should be delivered tomorrow...

[cubsfan2154]

My boxes just shipped!

Rumors circulating on the interwebs that some boxes don’t have hits… lol good job Topps

[PuddleMonkey]

In the age of tech if someone makes a claim of no hits I'd want video proof if I were Topps. It's too easy to record things and I imagine many of the no hits club are from people who regretted their purchase after opening a $250 box of cards and ended up with $14 worth of product.

Hang on, they aren't even guaranteeing you hits per box.

"1 Chrome Parallel or Shortprint on average Per Box!"

There's no crying in baseball, guys.

That’s every product.

You mean every time you open a box of cards you should start recording?

How many times do you think anyone can claim no hits without Topps cutting them off?

You sound like you’ve never seen a sealed box.

You sound like you’ve never seen a sealed box.

If the collectibles market has taught me anything it's trust nobody.

Lets also not pretend in the day of social media that all these people aren't recording their boxes anyway just in case they hit something big they can go viral.


I think my last wax purchase was around 2018.

The internet has rotted my brain.

I just opened one of my two boxes. 50 base cards at first glance and I'm pretty pissed off about it. No Kanji. Nothing numbered. No chrome. 50 base.

I wonder if they had a pack out problem given the unusual box and pack distribution.

Image variation?

Same thing happened to me.

Assuming the only IV is the #100 on the checklist, no image variation. I did get card #100 but it's the standard image. I just double checked every card and it's 50 base.

My two boxes yielded more dupes than I cared to count, but back-to-back packs had identical collation for all five cards.

I got a green in each box, so I consider that a win.

For notable base, I got Steal #1 and then both SB #50 and HR #50 from the same pack. Each of these three milestone cards were in the same box.

Why in the world are these boxes still going for over $400?

Because you could hit the most important baseball card of all-time!

Well there's the problem. Spino says a lot of crazy things.

Can guarantee boxes on ebay are weighed, and as they should be.

No reason people should pay $400 for this.

[BabaORiley]

For those wondering about collation, here's my hitless 100:

HR 1,2,9,11,12,14,17,19,20,21 (x2),22,26,28,31,32,34,37,38,40,41,45 (x2),49,50

SB 1,4,5,6,13,14,17,19,20,23,24,28,31,32,33,34 (x2),37,40,41,43,45,46,47,48

So 3 dupes in a box. Base split evenly between HR and SB. And again, hitless. I even looked at the backs to see if I had a Kanji back or something. Nope.

[BabaORiley]

And my box 2, predictably, had both a regular refractor and an aqua refractor.

What does a standard box weigh?

Well that's certainly better than another dud
