    He got a SSP Kanji in there at least. This was a bad miss by Topps/Fanatics, IMO. Almost comical in how many boxes don't have the single promised insert plus other issues. I bought a couple of them and 1) had an insert at least, 2) came with only 8 packs vs. 10! Yeah, WTF? I called Topps and they're sending the missing ones but what the heck?!?! Not like this was a cheap product. /sigh

    Ug, not a great sign for future offerings.

    I generally buy these one off Topps offerings and just don't open them, but after hearing all the bad commentary on the set I decided not worth holding, so rip them and see. Should have just sold 'em! lol

    So, I posted this on TCDB...

    "Feel like this was the worst Topps offering I've ever experienced. Just wow...pure unadulteraded money grab I guess. I bought 2 boxes and single 10 packs.

    Box1: No issues, got #/150

    Box2: Only 8 packs in box! Missing 2 complete packs. WTH? Of the 8 packs, 2 were duplicates, as in both exact same base cards, one pack on top of another. Did get a #/99 insert.

    Story of the 10 packs...

    1 packs had a refractor.

    4 packs had the top 2 cards (of 5) as base dupes so only 4 unique cards for $25. That's low and no QC/QA apparently.

    5 packs of base cards.

    All together, 66 dupes in that mix...

    So, all in all, worst Topps offering I have purchased since I got back to collecting in 2021.

    Would not buy again."

    I'd stay away from any resellers. :smile:

    Happy New Year!

    Pasta, that really sucks. You mentioned you had called, is it worth your time to write a letter, you might get even more of a refund.

    How much did these boxes go for? I got really lucky and pack pulled a nice Ohtani refractor his rookie season and haven't had to chase him anymore.
