In a product that is built around prospect cards, that should never happen.

I think last year was the first time the vets/rookies had mojo cards. Used to be prospect only

broke 3 boxes from our Fanatics overlords today.
Pink Sal Frelick, base "mojo" of Elly and Crews
Yeesh

2 box break myself. Mojo's as follows: Base Shohei, base Elly, base Skenes, one 1st card (Antonia Anderson) and a Lazaro Montes to /75 - being an M's fan I'm pretty happy w/ this for the PC.

I had some Fanatics credit and used it on 10 megas.

Horvath auto /99
Bush auto /250
Zanetello base auto

Dylan Crews /250
Kyle Teel /299
Volpe /299

Base Elly
2x base Yamamoto

I’m sure I did better than most people but this was still a bloodbath even with some decent hits.

This stuff seems like a train wreck at $45.

I agree from an ROI standpoint however, it is fun to open and comparably cheap to hobby boxes and further, what else is there to rip atm that is readily available and fun? I will say that getting vets in the mojo packs is excruciatingly bad and certainly deleterious to the enjoyment of the product. Sadly, we live in a new world thanks to a variety of factors (mostly overspending by gluttonous dbags on the hill) where almost everything “feels” expensive and it is income irrelevant at this point as I’m very blessed, own a business, and still curse “them” every time I walk out of Costco with next to nothing having spent $300.

I just wish the base bowman packs weren't completely dry.

Congrats, you were the ONLY winner on these.

I opened 10 boxes and hit (1) Auto, Acuna Yellow, Julio and Mookie Navy, Kyle Teel Blue and then (3) Crews, (1) Skenes, (2) Yamamoto, and (2) Elly Base

Luckily all were in perfect shape and should hit PSA 10s

Incredible pull, congrats!

4 Boxes from Fanatics. One numbered card and that was a Brock Wilken purple /250. You're welcome to others that purchased boxes. I got 4 crap boxes out of the way.

I think 49/50 boxes is pure dog crap this year.

Won’t go near this previously fun release, Fanatics has absolutely murdered it.

Topps was already moving in this direction beforehand. Fanatics just accelerated it.

I don’t think two packs for $45 is nearly as much fun as you say. A normal blaster of Bowman or chrome platinum would be more fun then this.

Tried three boxes from Target, best and only numbered card was a pink/199 Noelvi Marte.

Brutal for almost $150.

It's no wonder I was able to find these in the wild.

[hermanotarjeta]

It’s a shame a full 40 box display at Target no longer triggers excitement.

[Chris P]

I hadn't been to a wal mart in a while and didn't know they were carrying them also but for 50 bucks.

[DaryanLenz]

My experience is that roughly 8 boxes = 1 auto which has really dampened my enthusiasm for the product. I was thrilled to open boxes at release, but 20 or so later they’ve been a big disappointment.

Not surprising considering you’re paying $45 for a box that used to be a tough break at $15.

[Funkster]

Picked up three boxes and actually did well. Jacob Gonzalez auto, George Lombard pink refractor, and Junior Caminero top 100 /99 that I almost missed.

[sauceboy]

Saw these at Target yesterday. After reading all of the posts in this thread, I'm glad I didn't buy one.

[RCCTHREE]

I went back for a 2nd box and miraculously pulled a Tai Peete auto. Now 2 for 2 which means I have to call it quits before I get destroyed on the next few boxes lol. What's crazy is the Ahuna /150 auto plus the Peete might get me a return on one box? I don't care too much about that but the point being singles are absolutely the way to go it's not even close now.

Against my better judgement, I bought two for the unopened collection.
