As some others noted, for base I also have a disproportionate amount of 1-100 vs 101-200.

Box 1 base: 49 vs 26 (0 dupes, 75/200, 37.5% of set)
Box 2 base: 51 vs 24 (0 dupes, 75/200, 37.5% of set)
Box 3 base: 50 vs 25 (0 dupes, 75/200, 37.5% of set)

In my small sample size, for every one card that is 101-200, I got two cards that are 1-100. I thought I read on the thread that case breakers it eventually evened out for them. For what it's worth on the Refractor front (4 per box), I pulled 12 regular refractors and 6 were 1-100 and 6 were 101-200. Xfractors (2 per box) were also evenly distributed.

Collating all three boxes together I'm at 155/200 or 77.5% complete, not too shabby!

here's what I'm missing:
1-100: 10 30 58 65 72 75 87
101-200: 112 114 118 120 122 126 127 129 131 132 135 136 139 140 142 144 145 147 149 152 161 163 164 165 168 171 172 175 176 178 184 187 189 190 192 195 197 198

Here are my dupes:
1-100: a lot
101-200: 101 102 108 117 133 143 150 154 159 173 181 182

May sound quaint these days, but if anyone is looking to trade to build sets, hit me up.

Hearing from the front lines that 101-200 have a different code and may be structurally SP'd.

It might be even better than we think. I got the Topps Updates 2 days ago, then today I got the email admitting their mistake, a shipping confirmation of 4 BUC boxes, and then a package showed up with my 4 BUC boxes. Will I be getting 8? If so, I can’t imagine they’d let me keep 4 of them along with the 4 Topps Updates - right?

[STLtoMN]

Looks like Topps put up the breaker boxes listed as HTA on the site....

$250 for 12 cards and 2 autos sounds like a bloodbath compared to regular boxes... not sure how this makes sense at all over buying 2 regular boxes

My mother is currently pissed off that Fanatics is building their massive new distribution center right in her backyard (Waxahachie, TX). They just leveled a forest that had been there hundreds of years to make room for the industrial park.

I think it's kind of exciting, but it sad to see them pave paradise.

The needed the forest to produce 2024 Series 1 Baseball. The Distribution center and promise of new jobs was merely a pawn in the grand scheme.

No I haven’t got around to listing those yet but did see that a a pricing reference haha. Good luck with your search!

[STLtoMN]

For reference out of a full case...after putting together 2 full sets and 1 partial...here are the cards I have left over split between 1-100 and 101-200



if anyone is looking to trade/sell singles... i am looking for the following:

113, 120, 121, 122, 130, 135, 141, 146, 147, 149, 153, 158, 161, 163, 172, 176, 187, 190, 192, 195, 199, 200

Well that's a pretty clear indication that the SP theory for 101-200 seems to be true.

I'd still be curious to learn if blaster boxes follow the same 1-100/101-200 trend or if it's the reverse.

Rough game for Colorado dudes, up 29-0 at half blew it in second then Sanders terrible INT in overtime and WR that Hunter was on most of game had 294 3 TD and caught OT td one handed behind Hunter's helmet

Ok, I’m just going to call this for what it is. A clear and obvious troll.

Just like your last post about values - you come in here with negativity, post, and have zero interest discussing anything. You saw colorado lost, so let’s go *try* and dance on people in the bowman u thread. Try being the keyword here.

So, about that game. Sure, shall we take a look?

Shedeur: 33/47 with 400 yards and 5 td/1 int
Hunter: 13 rec, 140 yards and 2 td

Yeah, pal - rough game! (If you are blind)

He's a Vikes fan in pain, lashing out at those who seem happy about BUC.
You hate to see it.

[maj78]

Not sure if it's been discussed yet, but I think the 1955 Bowman on-card autos are the winner in this set. Stunning cards and I want all of them!! Seriously though, will buy any gold/orange Caleb Williams that any of you guys want to part with. Good luck and happy ripping!!!

This hypothesis warrants testing.

Argh, bad news I think. I decided to check progress on my correction shipment this AM - shows it was delivered yesterday. They must have shipped the correct orders out before sending the email and posting the new shipping info. Oh, well - at least we got the free Topps Update baseball boxes… can’t complain.
