Looks great.

Will you be displaying or storing them?

If Topps sends your cards via FedEx and not usps is that a good sign youll get something special or am I overthinking this? Got a FedEx tracking for the first time for cards 398-400

I got my first fedex notices for 3 card-bundle shipments. Nothing more exciting about it unfortunately

I have received some shipments with usps and some with fedex, neither had any extras, gold, foils or auto's.

Cards outside of the cases are starting to surface more often on COMC. I wonder how many are grading rejects.

I would stay far away from the cards being sold outside of the cases. There are lots of surface flaws on these that a lot of folks aren't noticing. PSA and BGS notice though.

COMC is the dumping ground for the ungradable.

sure, there are always exceptions, but with COMCs terrible scans able to hide flaws, people send them their rejects

What are some of the surface issues obvious or not obvious that you've seen on these?

Well, I was able to get a credit card reversal for one of the 2 Gooden/Strawberry dual autos I bought from Dwight's scumbag son. Got 1 reversed that I used my credit card on. on 1 I used my debit card and they only offer 90 day purchase protection. The thing is, I disputed it within the 90 days, but they say they have no record of the inquiry. That's what I get for using a small local bank that doesn't have 24/7 customer service

I've been able to get some decent P2020 cards on there, but it's a crapshoot for sure. I look for centering first, then check and see if there is anything I can notice on the corners or edges. I got a spectacularly centered Baller Trout that I'm going to break out to check gradeability.

Oliroller · 01-12-2021, 01:00 PM

I have transferred all of my cards into Ultra Pros. While doing that, I noticed some surface "dents" or what appear to be "blemishes" that look like they would wipe off. But they don't. Some of these are only obvious under light, but if you are intending to send for grading you should definitely open these up before you send them out. I can honestly say that I probably have two of the nicest Efdot and OMA full sets you will find out there. But I'm super OCD when it comes to centering and surface issues.

Dudes. Not sure what to say, I’m stoked though. My 3 pack came in a box, and I was thinking “wonder what foil I got”.... #thankstopps!!!!!

I’m glad I opened this one last ... box seemed normal but distinctive sound coming from the pack.

ThoseBackPages · 01-12-2021, 02:05 PM

Congrats on the cash!

Gotta be one of the best gold frames in the set. Most I would sell because I think they make the whole thing look kind of off, this one I would keep I think. Congrats Dusty!

Just for record - I agree seems that way - but #362 gold came as a 4th card along with the three pack, packing slip had "+1 Gold Frame Card 362" hand written below the normal packing slip, in a box rather than a padded envelope.

Other three pack I got same day (today) came in padded envelope, sadly only 3 cards.

But now 2020 can do no wrong, to me.

I would only trade this for something equally unobtainable and P2020 related. If I needed money, I wouldn't be buying these 1, 2, and 3 packs to begin with

. (Though my cash will run out this lifetime, don't take my comment the wrong way....)

But thanks!

The J Peterman comment on that thread was brilliant.
