I probably still won't "make my money back" with this result, but the funny thing is that this Tanaka auto /10 might have been the last piece I needed to complete the rainbow.
I'll go through the storage and see if I can take a family picture.

As for the Lux redemption, though he isn't the highly rated SS rookie that he once was anymore, it's still disappointing to see the redemption date expired.
I'm not sure that they actually made that card (don't see any on eBay), so my slight hope is that they might still honor it somehow with me sending the card in.

They definitely made the regular refractor card. I hit one and redeemed it right after opening my box.

Refractor was /20. Gold Refractor was /15

Nice rip and thanks for sharing. That Tanaka is a sweet looking card. Good luck with getting something for that Lux redemption.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody have any thoughts as to why these 2020 boxes jumped up in price so much in the past few weeks?

Beautiful set with nostalgia factor, Ohtani base and Trout Auto Supers are presumably still out there, and supply is rapidly dwindling. Looks like only one of the Big 3 have boxes currently in stock and they only have 4 boxes listed as available.

I would bet just about anything they have a lot more than that.

Thanks for the info!
Guess I'm out of luck on getting that gold, unless they still have them on the shelves (even then they probably won't honor).
Who know what they did with stuffing all the expired redemption cards into 2022 Topps silver packs.

Another factor are the Top 3 rookies playing at All-Star levels.

Luis Robert and Bo Bichette in particular. Then you have Yordan who does his thing every playoff series. Nico Hoerner is solid for the Cubs too. Finally you have a couple pitchers that are Aces in Zac Gallen and Dylan Cease. I'm sure there are a couple others I missed.

Busted 8 boxes of 2020 Flashback as I was inspired by the recent posts. First time I'm trying to post pictures so I hope it comes through.

That is an incredible 8 boxes.

YouTheManNick · 07-30-2023, 12:49 PM

On my way out of the National about an hour ago I had some budget left over and decided to treat myself to two boxes of 2020 and one of 2021.

Gonna rip after I eat lunch and report back.

Wow, that is indeed an amazing 8 boxes! Congrats!

Also Schwarber added to the Superfractor list on page 320!

No pictures because I'm lazy.

2021 box was not bad - Silver Andres Gimenez RC, Gold Jeff McNeil, Prizm Zac Gallen /35, Prizm Mariano Rivera /35.

First 2020 box was an absolute disaster - Refractors were AJ Minter Silver and Jake Rogers Gold. That one hurt.

Second 2020 box was better - Silver Kyle Lewis which woulda been nice in 2020, Gold Adam Ottavino... okay. Not much there, but I also hit a red Javier Baez (Baseball's Finest) and an All Stars Auto of Pete Alonso /20.

Each 2020 had a Robert and Bichette base.

All in all, not a great break. But the Gallen, Rivera, Baez and Alonso are all nice.

Forgot how fun 2021 is to rip. Love this product so much.

mfw13 · 07-30-2023, 03:44 PM

Any news about 2023 Flashback Finest? Is it even going to be released?

Fun 2nd 2020 box! I am interested in the Gimenez if you're moving, let me know!

BrandonJ · 07-31-2023, 07:00 PM

Blez baseball is running mixers of all 3 years and this morning their 2020 box had a red Trout and a gold Yordan. That's about as good of 2020 box as you'll find!

bbteamw · 07-31-2023, 07:28 PM

That's as good as it gets without pulling a star autograph or superfractor.

Just want to give Darren (goyder43) a shout out for the amazingly generous gift he sent.
———————
Kinda crazy, I saw the Schwarber super posted on Blowout a couple weeks ago. I’ve been searching for it for years. I messaged the owner that pulled it asking if it were for sale. We traded a couple messages back and forth, saying he’d think about it. Ultimately he decided to keep it as it was his first Superfractor, but asked for my address because he wanted to send me something anyway.

The next day I left town for vacation, and I returned last night. Today I saw the package he sent on the kitchen counter, but left it sit until this evening. I opened it a moment ago and was left speechless when this was inside. I still can’t believe it. This hobby rules. 100% nfs.

Thanks again Darren.

Don't know if it's just me, but I can't see the image that you probably meant to post.
I'm assuming that he ended up sending you the superfractor after all, but I'll wait until I see the actual image!

Don't know what it is but it sounds good and a great gesture. If it is what we think it is, thats awesome! If anyone would like to one up goyder43, I'm a big fan of Ohtani and Trout.

It was the 2020 finest flashback Schwarber Superfractor.

ThoseBackPages · 08-11-2023, 12:48 AM
