Tenth anniversary of the set - going to be some great cards.
Anyone else excited?
I think I'm springing for three cases this year.

<< <i>I know nothing about this product but checked on D and A site and a case is going to cost 1K. 12 boxes with 3 "hits" per box. Is there value in the base cards or are there a lot of parallels or other cards that are not considered "hits"? >>
yes there are plenty of non base cards that dont fall under the three hits per box. minis, parallels, hand numbered, wood, metal, cloth, printing plates, framed, buybacks, rip cards, insert sets, etc.
i think you can count on about 54 non base in each hobby box of 192 cards.
Just paid for my case. I always wait too long to order and pay way more than I should.
I was promised to have it on release day so that would be a plus....It never seems to work out that way though.
I plan to do the base set 1-300 and short prints 301-350.
Also the mini subsets.
Sometimes I get caught up in the minis and do that set also but I am not feeling that right now.
I never seem to pull any autos I want to keep (redsox). Ha ha ha
So I will have quite a bit available for trade if anyone is interested.
I am always looking for any Bryce Harper cards too.
I can't wait to see the checklist.
My last year was 2012 and I am excited about this year and wish everyone lots of fun and lots of great pulls.
See ya on the 22nd.

*Zero retired or HOFer players on the checklist
* Kris Bryant only on base set and autograph checklist
* Increased production
* Decreased Double Rip Card production
yikes.
And the number of subsets is insane this year!
Not too many autos this year also. (I guess that is normal amount)
Mostly relics, Autos 1/54 packs.
5-6 per case.
Joe
Looking forward to seeing the auto's.
<< <i>My three cases arrive this evening. I'll be posting rip results once I get started here and another popular forum. >>
Sweet,
Good luck

When I go through them I only look at the backs of the cards so I can put them in stacks by number :-) -- also missed all the stamped regular sized cards, lol.

Any Franks?
These look great. Only complaint is I think they should have had him inscribe Thunderlips.
