I got an email from Topps this morning that talked about the TBT thing they are doing that comes out today, but I didn't see any mention of BDS. So there's that.

Mind sharing a pic of the pack odds on back? Time to find out how many of these things were made.

If it is released, I'd imagined they would do it at the same time as TBT

I know this may be a crazy theory, but is it possible that Topps has listened to all the complaints and are taking action? I know crazy...

Hear me out. BDS was released a little later than normal but was ready to ship the next day. Its possible they spent that time getting things ready so they could ship asap rather than a waiting period. So this takes care of the complaints about paying for express shipping but not shipping on time. Also seems they could be shipping all MC preorders prior to the public release so they know exactly how many boxes are available and know that MC members that wanted it were taken care of. It seems this would cut down on some of their biggest complaints they get.

So again, is it possible that Topps is listening to the customers? should we give them credit? who knows, lets see how this plays out

Seems like even if you lived next to the warehouse, they'd still send it down the street, then back to the other end of the street. Then it would sit 3/4ths of the way down the street for 2 days before you finally got it.

Yes, this is crazy. In a world of crazy conspiracy theories, this is the craziest.

What is TBT? Guessing something super obvious and I'm just not putting 2 and 2 together.

They're doing something called a ThrowBack Thursday release.

Close to same odds as last year. Padparadscha were 1:102 last year. I like the addition of the yellow refractors.

So 200 cards, 1 in 112 boxes for a Pappaprpapapdpdaprpaaa...

22,400 made.

Simple, right?

Using 1:1 as a proxy, 112 x 200 / 8 packs per box = 2800 boxes ; probably something like 3k boxes. We all know how these ratios are skewed, so just putting the obvious math out there, once someone asks the question (5 times).

Is it 8 packs per box? That was wrong on GPK - the odds ended up being closer to BOX odds and not PACK odds.

8 packs means 4 yellows...I'm thinking its one big pack per box.

Unless they screwed up the parallel guarantee per box like GPK Sapphire.
Though that one might even out with some boxes having had 3 parallels.
