Knopfler you sure are beating the odds! Has anyone else opened regular retail yet? I wonder if Knopfler's case was just a fluke or if all regular retail cases have no regular chromes and more refractors and black refractors???

Craig in Texas

NewHeritageCollector

No, not yet. Hopefully I'll be getting my retail boxes from Joe (Josephcb09) soon.

I could take a few black refractors to help trade for the rest of the set.

HeritageAddict

Chris, very strange on the chromes but you certainly have to be happy with 3 black refractors so far. Wow, looking at the cut auto list, Topps made it very weak as well.

heritage

I should get my first 6 boxs tomorrow afternoon.
I need the Gum :Funny

joestalin

Chris you are killing it! Funny thing is if it was an autograph case, you might not as done as well! LOL

So we know how many cuts there are now, can we finally put the production number thing to rest? Who is good with math?

Kevin

So fred Lewis seems to be variation #4?

First off, a few of those guys aren't even dead, Frank and Minnie signed just a few months ago on actual real one autos..now they are cuts? LMAO

I am figuring out print run right now. It looks like the hobby run is 500,000 packs. This based upon the Clubhouse Collection Dual Relics (only found in
hobby) are numbered to 10 and their are 5 of them, total 50X10,200 and you get roughly 500K packs.

Working on jumbo, blaster and retail right now.

I'm surprised this got by the crew here.

Knopfler

Box 6:

25 Packs (1 in the middle between the two stacks) one pack at the bottom had 10 cards including an SP and a refractor
8 SP's
9 Inserts
5 Refractors (I'm losing track without looking back, but I think that is 17 refractors and 0 chrome)

ArchStanton

I have six of #346, and they are all the same. Hhhrrrmmmph.

joestalin

a b c
--- + --- + --- = 4000
260 260 146


Can a solution be found to this?

Kevin

matthewbschultz83

Do you think we'll see the opposite version of the Lewis/Winn card? Fred Lewis with a Randy Winn name, gotta be one of those as well.

joestalin

what number is randy winn?

MuckyMutt

<< <i>I need the Gum :Funny >>



Watch out - the gum is made in China. Probably full of melamine. Seriously!!

Knopfler

OK, very last pack in the case yielded the card below. So grand totals from retail case #1:

65 SP's
62 Inserts
22 Refractors
0 Chromes
4 CC including 2 Group A's
4 Black Refractors

BigWorm

<< <i>Do you think we'll see the opposite version of the Lewis/Winn card? Fred Lewis with a Randy Winn name, gotta be one of those as well. >>



I think we will. It's turning out to be exactly like the 1960 set.

Basilone

Crazy collation from that Retail Case....I'll take the Black Refractors over the Chromes any day.

Knopfler

<< <i>Crazy collation from that Retail Case....I'll take the Black Refractors over the Chromes any day. >>



Definitely! And I usually try to put together a chrome set, but I may have to switch that to a refractor set this year if the rest of my retail product ends up the same.

mickeymantle24

nice pulls zep!

Knopfler

On Box 1 of Case 2 and I just pulled a regular chrome.

nam812

Looking at Chris' (Knopfler's) results from his first case got me to theorizing how that zero chrome collation could have happened. Obviously I have no working knowledge of how Topps' machines actually work, but what if there were settings that had to be set manually at the start of the pack insertion process, and one of the workers set the settings wrong and mixed up the pack insertion ratio's for chrome, refractor and black refractor? Here's what I mean:

The correct ratio of chromes was pulled by Chris, but as refractors.
The correct ratio of refractors was pulled by Chris, but as black refractors.
The correct ratio of black refractors was pulled by Chris, but as chromes.

Probably not an accurate theory, but it's plausible.
