22 Rip Card in one box - good for him, but you know that means 21 of you with hobby cases are NOT getting a rip card in it.
He ripped 4/22 of them. His four minis were Chrisy Mathewson, Lou Gehrig, Hunter Pence and I forget the fourth. Sorry.

I can totally see Topps doing that and I think it's a good idea. Unlike the fears posted in that thread, I'd guess Topps has accounted for such hot boxes and each case on average will have its designated Rip Card.
<< <i>I'd guess Topps has accounted for such hot boxes and each case on average will have its designated Rip Card. >>
If I'm not mistaken, the Rip Card inserts have increased to 100 this year, there were only 50 different the last two years. This could be one of the reasons why.
Hopefully that won't drive the buying prices for those rip cards down...Because sadly I sell mine to try to get that +/- closer to the green side.
On another note, thanks for all you guys for making this really exciting. And to quell some of my anxiousness, I'm going to wish you good luck for a 17th time.

For those of you who normally order your cases from Blowout Cards, how close to the actual release date do you usually receive them? I'm just wondering if I'll be ripping next week or the following week.

I'm going to try something in the hopes that it works out. I want to find out by the number on here what type of product seems to be producing better results. So, with that I'd like to be PMed information about what you receive. So, below is how it works:
PM me-
Blaster and where you bought it, Retail (you bought a box of retail), or Hobby
Other than base cards and base minis, what did you receive? (wood mini's, bazooka mini's, relic, auto, rip card, printing plate, etc.)
If you have more than one box, please list by box.
I think as time goes on we'll start to see a trend. Anyone want to help with this?
I thought it would be cool if we could keep all the important info in one place. I know last year sometimes I would have to search for the SP list or the odds, or the trading standards. You know the important stuff that gets lost in the hundreds of pages we're going to rack up.
Can you edit all that into the 1st post, so that we all can refer to it quickly?

What these guys said. I have never ordered from Blowout before. Do they send an email when it is shipped? Also UPS, USPS? Any info would be great.
Good call, Kevin. Namky is the next best bet and Jason is close behind. You might have to send all over the country. Lord knows I need to ship out to get good pulls (insert drum roll, the wife won't do it!)
If someone can send me the checklist and any other important information regarding the product, I will be happy to edit the first post to reflect this information. Also, last year we kept up with the Cut sigs that had been pulled. I believe Rube was in on that. I'd like to do the same this time.
From a stats standpoint, I want to see what product and from where is pulling in the best results.
<< <i>What these guys said. I have never ordered from Blowout before. Do they send an email when it is shipped? Also UPS, USPS? Any info would be great. >>
I've ordered a lot of cases from blowout and they are very reliable and ship fast. I don't think they send tracking info automatically, but if you email them they will send you the tracking info. Good luck!

That has already been discussed since there are more rip cards and apparent hot cases it is believed the rip cards will be distributed at least as stated. If not Topps has usually been pretty good about replacing guaranteed cards that are missing.

You don't seriously believe what you are saying, do you? This is so FAR beyond "replacing guaranteed cards" - they just killed a BIG money ticket to this product and ruined where busters expect to make back at least a full 10-15% of the case cost and they aren't going to just print up more of them - they are all serial #'d.

Leiascards, I posted it because I do not believe it has been discussed here. Whether or not Topps makes good on any missing rip cards is not really the point, I think Bill hit the nail on the head.
Let's say that this is legit, and there are indeed some hot cases that have 100+ rip cards in them. Why does that automatically mean that there will be some cases without rip cards? Sure, there's a fixed number of rip cards, but we don't know how many hobby cases were actually produced so we don't know that any of them will necessarily have to be shorted. Its no different than some cases being hot-auto cases - having 10-15 autos in a case, where most cases maybe yield 5 (just making up those numbers for illustrative purposes). Also, its not beyond question that Topps has held back from general distribution more than a few rip cards, so that they can fulfill replacement issues. I believe they always hold back some of all types of cards (chrome, serial#d, auto, etc) so they can address issues. Remember someone on this board last year had a problem with a rip card that was damaged prior to opening and they got a replacement from topps. I myself have gotten several replacements on several heritage cards from topps over the years.
As parker pointed out we don't know nothing yet. Some of those rip cards may only be available in the "hot boxes/cases" we just don't know yet. As also pointed out you do not know the exact distribution of the cards and you also have to remember a few of these cards are held back by the company to fulfill NPN obligations and any other problems that may arise.
I seem to remember this last year...anyone else..the early case that had like 11 autos in it? Everything was fine after that and I didn't hear of anyone getting shorted. I would like to know why Taiwan is getting their boxes before us!
Called my dealer today and he said Wednesday. I was really hoping for today or tomorrow. This sucks! Is it too early to comb the retail stores?
Kevin, I'm right there with you called the local shops today hoping to get lucky, but it was not to be. I did reserve a couple of boxes locally to hold me over until my case arrives.
There was something early last year where there were some outrageous cases. Anyone ever thought the first cases shipped may actually be the last cases produced and they use these to get rid of the leftovers that are not being held out for replacements and NPN.
Japan is already on ebay. This really makes me mad. I sent an email to Clay at topps and he agrees its unfair that Taiwan and Japan get product first..he says he will have a talk with some people. I really wish there were more stores here.
Now that does make you start to wonder. Remember though Taiwan and many asian countries are notorious counterfeiters of things like these so that is another possibility to what is going on.
Everyone needs to calm down about the Rip cards. There's plenty of product out there and Topps has never not helped people because they didn't receive something. If you don't get one in your case, just save all the wrappers and call Topps. I'm sure they'll take care of it. It seems that people are more upset about the Rip cards because of the chances of not having one to sell on fleabay than because you just want one.
<< <i>.......It seems that people are more upset about the Rip cards because of the chances of not having one to sell on fleabay than because you just want one. >>
No, I just want to hold one. Of course that's the reason. Who's trying to disguise it?
It seems that people are more upset about the Rip cards because of the chances of not having one to sell on fleabay than because you just want one.
Thats the only reason I would want a rip card to sell it. As pointed out they typically can make back 10 to 15% of the total case price. There are NO cards I buy that I will not sell if the money is right.
The last thing I want after waiting 6 months for a product is have to send in 144 wrappers delivery conf to topps and beg for a replacment. Topps is going to take MAJOR heat for this crap.
Guru, what are you still doing at home, I'd already be on my way to pick up a few boxes. For those of you that wondered about when Blowout will be shipping, Chris from Blowout told me the cases would be shipping out tomorrow and tracking numbers would be available later in the day.
Well, to be honest, the fundage is very low. Other than the blasters my mother in law is getting me for my birthday, I don't think I will be able to purchase much more. I've had a few things the last couple of months that need financial attention. I will have fun watching on here what everyone is getting though.

If you have a google account, you can email me your email address and I will add you as an authorized collaborator. Then you can also update the document yourself. This is the best way to keep track of stuff. I don't want to have to manage it beyond the initial set up and if I give enough of you access to it, we should all be able to manage it together.
It does need considerable work, as I don't know many of the cards at this time and the list is solely from Topps Website.
Best of luck to everyone with their breaks!
