Another question. The contest entry instructions on packs and boxes say
“one per household”
And also say
“Only one card per envelope, mailed separately “
Thank you everyone who has answered any of my questions, I appreciate the explanations.
So I can only send in one entry per mailing address? Correct?
What do the stats letters mean, yellow lines in pic?

Are the action and nickname cards only found in the hobby boxes? I have opened close to 90 packs (retail) and no luck on cool stuff beyond random purple and chromes scratchers and lids
I opened 1 of the 6 Walmart boxes I purchased. Nothing great. 4 SP's, 1 a Judge. Judge Sporting News,Judge cloth sticker and Khris Davis. Kluber chrome,1 Scratch off. 3 chrome red pack-Taillon refractor and a Santanna,Zobtrist chrome non-refractors.
Successful transactions:Tookybandit. "Everyone is equal, some are more equal than others".
They don't explain "R" other than to say "run" - what they mean: when a base runner crosses home for any reason - he's assigned a "run scored" to his record which is the "R" on the stat list.
Explaining SLG: LINK (IMO, the SLG is a better way to gauge the "productivity" of a batter - i.e. to say - a power hitter could have a lower batting average than a singles hitter but do more to affect the outcome of a game with more doubles, triples and HRs e.g.)
So the only boxloader I have was from a BBCE Heritage break at release time and this is the one I score. E-gads.... if anybody needs this please take it from me haha
Before I put everything away and close out 2019 heritage I figured since I have a bunch of extras let me put together another scratch off set, and my first cloth set. To inspire trading I will offer SPs and purple chromes 1 for 1 to get these inserts.
What I need: Scratch off - 4, 5, 10, 12, and 14. Cloth sticker - 1, 3, 11, 13, 14, and 15.
What I have available: SP - 402, 407, 410, 425, 436, 448, 462, 465, 467, 473, 483, 486, 487, 489, 492, 496, and 497. Purple - 78, 189, 416, 432, 433, 444, 445, 449, 454, 455, 462, 467, 473, and 487.

Mike they have done a tremendous job with cutting. There were OC cards but not many WAY OC ... but even then most have been very clean. Just some minor chipping here and there but there has been a clean "score line" that stopped chipping from getting into the meat of the cards and even they look very neat.

This seems like a pretty good haul for the box I busted last night. It would have been nice to have an auto instead of the relic, but the Trout is the team name version so I'm happy about that! Nice super Bench. A good stack of SPs.

Here's a good link to abbreviation stats on a BB card:

They don't explain "R" other than to say "run" - what they mean: when a base runner crosses home for any reason - he's assigned a "run scored" to his record which is the "R" on the stat list.

Only the Super box topers - I've got all - now - but the Soto.
Did a nice purchase of 11 on eBay.
I do have a few dups - will be looking for someone who has the Soto to trade for the Clemente e.g.
The Topps employee box topper I got from a case break is now in my garbage in ten pcs. What the hell were they thinking.

My 1971 Topps adventure - Davis Men in Black
No action.
woops
Now "this" is a bit forward thinking - sorta like 2 days after the national, people are talking about the next.
I was thinking about next year's design - 1971 Topps "black" borders.
I was considering - perhaps - skipping?
But, if this is a portend to the future? I think I'll be OK.
I was looking at the black border cards this year and Topps seems to be doing a good job with the cutting:
What do you guys think?
Mike they have done a tremendous job with cutting. There were OC cards but not many WAY OC ... but even then most have been very clean. Just some minor chipping here and there but there has been a clean "score line" that stopped chipping from getting into the meat of the cards and even they look very neat. Kind of like a forest fire fire break line LOL. So I do think this is a good sign for next year.

Mike, pulling the card you need is righteous! Come on over for a 🍺anyways
Made a huge trade that has me close to done! Except a huge SP list ugh
Nick, I’ll check to see if I can help you out
This seems like a pretty good haul for the box I busted last night. It would have been nice to have an auto instead of the relic, but the Trout is the team name version so I'm happy about that! Nice super Bench. A good stack of SPs.

Nice haul Kris.
More Notes from underground:
In 1970, they changed the voting age to 18.
One of the "driving" forces behind this IMO?
I was drafted at 18 right out of high school and at 19, I was in Vietnam.
Yet, I couldn't vote for the guy who sent me there?
Not complaining tho. I wound up staying for 31 yrs (not in Vietnam).
