For those of you chasing the Robert's, pull aside your quantities of Yordan, Lux, Bichette, Lewis, Hoerner and May and PM me with quantities and a price. I'll pay fair market price, but am looking to buy in quantity. I'll take base, refractors and autos.

Spent $32 on 4 random teams in a hobby box break and hit a Bo Bichette Blue Wave parallel #/75!
Still waiting on my 10 blasters from Topps.com as well. Wonder how close I will get to making a complete base set?

I caved and bought 2 hangers on ebay from 2 seperate sellers, 1 with the Fire pack and 1 with Update. Very happy, 1 Luis base RC, 35th Anniversary inserts of Trout and Lewis RC, and the preview NBCD cards were nice. Would love to put together the Fire and Update sets, but not sure I'll be seeing any hangers around me.

Here's a good matrix of the Chrome odds between the various format.

I opened 5 blasters and 8-9 value packs, pulled 2 Lou Bobs (1 from each variety).

Also one of the '85 inserts...

Meeting a local guy today to pick up a refractor LouBob and 2 base for a pretty decent price off eBay.

Another good breakdown of the value between Retail vs Hobby vs Jumbo. From Stryker video.
Green is good. Red is bad. As you can see Retail is mostly the king. If somebody wants to see the video that explains this let me know.

Can topps hurry up and ship hobby boxes out... lol

rudyjustinfarrell · 08-14-2020, 07:35 AM

Maybe I'm just missing it... but have you guys discussed why Luis Robert base autos are redemptions?

That's pretty amazing to not even hit a base Robert after that many cards (which I'm too lazy to calculate). I'm guessing you have about 3 Bichette cards by now though?

Because he didn’t sign them in time

Thanks. Does anyone have a chart with the Mega/Monster box odds as well? Or are they the same as the blasters?

I dont think the odds are very favorable in mega-

5 boxes

1-auto redemption Lux
1 LuBob Chrome
0 Loubobs because Lou is for Louis and Lu is for Luis
1-negative refractor
0-color
2-prism
10-Oakland A’s RC including 3 Luzardo, 3 Puk and some other stuff

Other than that-anything over msrp on mega is pure robbery

Where did your retail pricing originate from? Are those your specific preorder prices or something?

Small sample size as I've opened 4 blasters, one hanger, and 7 value packs.

Pulled 2 Luis Robert '85 inserts.

One blaster box I opened yesterday had the following: Travis Lakins auto refractor, Vlad Jr prism refractor, Jose Altuve black/white negative refractor, Liam Hendricks and Elvis Andrus base refractors. Topping it off was a Mike Trout '85 insert and Kyle Lewis base rookie. Talk about a hot box.

That's just a uncredited screenshot from Stryker's video so I would just watch the actual vid for answers.

1 Alvarez base .
1 Aquino base.
2 Horner 1 sepia, 1 85.
1 Kyle lewis Prism
1 Logan Webb AUTO.
1 AJ Puk Prism.

jeff24k · 08-14-2020, 09:11 AM

For the life of me I can't hit a Bichette. Only 1 1985 of Bo and zero base. Not complaining though, the Roberts have been good to me. Hit a decent amount of Robert in my retail haul. 11 blasters and 10 hangers. 3 Base, 3 1985 inserts, 1 sepia and 1 refractor.

Pulled these from 9 blasters and 8 value packs yesterday. 1 AJ Puk redemption where the code completely scratched off when I tried to reveal it. Oyyyy. Still waiting on the rest of my Topps.com order and will post any big ones later. Good luck, all!

Looking for Andre Dawson Serial numbered cards that are his jersey number - either #8 or #10. So looking for cards like 8/8 or 08/99 or 10/250.
