Pattern to vending boxes?

CreeperKat

I know that a lot of the MLB rack packs have patterns to them which savvy people learn/memorize. Is the same true for sealed MLB vending boxes?

I think Fleer made its vending boxes fairly predictable, like 4 boxes will yield 3 complete sets or something like that; Topps, on the other hand, is a complete crapshoot, with some boxes yielding duplicates or more of key stars or RCs, while others have triplicates of jack schnap I'm pretty sure Donruss is more like Fleer, but don't hold me to it So basically, with Donruss or Fleer, if you get your boxes fresh out of a case, the sequencing is probably pretty easy to figure out; with Topps, just cross your fingers
