I don't understand how some people have these in hand and I paid expedited shipping and mine haven't even shipped yet.

Expedited shipping isn’t expedited processing.

I will say, while the base is just TC with BB's chain and some accents around the edges and is quite boring, the inserts are better than I had hoped. Particularly the die cuts and 86 Throwback cards.

I loved that 86 set so when I first saw the sample in the gallery, I was not super into it. In hand though, it does look pretty nice. Maybe it's just that I've gone through so many of them between S1, S2 and Chrome at this point...

I understand that, but why would I pay for expedited shipping to not have it ship until after everyone else got theirs. I feel it is understood. "I want mine as fast as you can, but take your time in getting it ready to ship. Make sure everyone else gets theirs first, and please charge me more for this."

I paid extra for shipping once or twice and was a waste of money. Will never again pay extra for shipping. My BB boxes were delivered today and paid for the cheapest shipping option.

Thanks for posting!

It would be great if they did something else with this release. Taking normal TC and adding a few diamond effects on it seems weak and lazy to me.

The extra money goes to the carrier for the higher service level, so Topps is not technically making more off you so for expediated shipping so why would they treat your order any differently then the rest.

So how do we vote on the next set? Is this a link that comes in one of the emails that I never get?

Unless you're one of those poor unfortunates who all of a sudden doesn't get the emails anymore.

Is there a way to rip open the rip cards without bending the full size card?

I've ripped two so far and they both got pretty dented/warped as I was ripping.

Why treat my order differently? Because I paid for the extra service. I work in logistics and the "extra money" does not go to the carrier. The prices to the business are very small tiers. They are capturing additional funds with the upgraded service for certain. Many companies sell things at a loss and make up for them in transportation fees.

All that being said, treat mine as equal at minimum. Mine still hasn't shipped and others are in hand. I guess I shouldn't have brought it up here. Wondering more if I was alone in this.

I filed a complaint with Topps as well. I assume I will here back in 6 months that my ticket has been closed and I will never receive any reason why.

I am more grateful for Fanatics every day.

Just received shipping for set #4.

Also just received the complete set and set #3. Complete set is 9737 and I think there might be some cases for damage since the sets are not well packed and in a box that is not as big as it should be for shipment.

Don't forget, you'll get the obligatory coupon code too in 6 months.

The one time I paid for overnight and others were receiving theirs in hand before mine shipped, I decided to stick with cheaper shipping options.

If I can practice patience in other aspects of my life, I can do it with my hobby too.

Which seems to be more and more of us each day

Is the link specific to each account or could someone post it so those of us that don't get the emails anymore could access and vote?

Ben Baller shared a box break this morning and hit 12 parallels with many decent names. He breathes the F bomb so much it's beyond annoying, but he hit a ton of stuff in 1 break. We will probably see boxes with less than average: https://twitter.com/BENBALLER/status...076221441?s=20

Alonzo base 1986
Acuna base 1986
Cronenworth blue refractor 1986 /75
Ohtani green refractor 1986 /99
Soto base Icy
Martinez base die cut
Lindor orange refractor die cut /25
Gurriel Jr blue refractor /75
Paddock green refractor /99
Ryu green refractor /99
Bell orange refractor /25
Trout gold refractor /50


In a separate video, he shows his hits from another/other boxes:https://twitter.com/BENBALLER/status...620972036?s=20

A Gurriel Jr superfractor 1/1, a Yastrzemski rose gold /10 and a Trout gold refractor /50 (not sure if it's the same from the box break video)

Contact customer service and make sure they send your ticket to IT department. That's how I get my MC emails back.
