Plenty of color but a Griffey magenta was the best if that tells you anything. Got super unlucky on the players.

Is this where we are, when someone pulling a Superfractor 1/1 is considered a bad case? SMH

Looks like 3700 cases. Compared to 3000 last year.

imbluestreak23 · 03-01-2023, 09:19 PM

Too much bro. What is that, like 300-400k cases of sports cards made for 2022?

Good time to be in the bizz of selling 5 rows and one touches

I got 7,000 cases. I'm no math major.

Probably off somewhere. Need a recheck.

I got 4700 cases based on the superfractor auto odds and 33 autos.

I did base superfractor odds + mini superfractor odds multiple by 600(300 base, 300 mini in set) divided by 216 (packs per case).

cj828282 · 03-01-2023, 09:33 PM

I think base and minis are treated as separate odds.

I come up with 3665 ish cases. XFractors seem to be 12 copies of each, Refractors 880 copies of each. Glad I bought a couple boxes because it definitely looks like a fun rip.

Xfractor is 12 each. That's pretty low.

Just because a super is in there doesn’t make a case good. I beat the odds with the super but it is a no-name player and the rest of the case was atrocious on the names. I open a lot of product lol yes this was a bad case. Griffey /199 was the only good player in the entirety of my color. Don’t get me wrong - not asking for a Julio gold. But collation was bad and the names were worse. Unlucky.

These cards are high quality with solid attention to detail. I don't like the green parallels, but the cards are undoubtedly collectable.

The only non-player auto on the checklist is Charlie sheen. Is this always the case w chrome, player autos only/mostly?

I think this is the first non-player in a Ginter chrome autograph set.

tonorator · 03-02-2023, 07:40 AM

love a&g and also a&g X which is a great variation of the base. this thing is just an abomination to me. the whole theme of these cards is old-style tobacco cards, which is what gives them their charm. chroming them up and then also adding the 'topps chrome' logo on top of the already present topps a&g logo at the bottom just creates a mess of a card. if given the power, this would be at the top of my cut list. zero interest in picking up any of these, box or singles.

Has anyone seen any other Chase the Rainbow inserts?

I'd say they are extremely rare. I watched a bunch of videos of case breaks and none has been pulled. None on ebay either. My guess is /15 or less.

Another member here reached out about the Rickey and I shared my thoughts.

I have yet to see any others from the set and Ginter always gets my mind turning. A lot of what ifs are going thru my head with this one. “What if there’s only (lucky) 7 print run”, what if there’s some sort of promo tied into St. Patty’s day. That sort of stuff. Probably neither true, but fun to speculate about.

Here’s the back.

Really cool, none have surfaced on eBay yet either. It would be very Ginter to make it limited to 7 or 1 of 1 and just not tell anyone. Not even mentioned on pack odds...
