@darrenrovell But what have you done for me lately? Just kidding. Insane

[Oex @O_Excess]

@WaxMetrix Target hobbies and jumbos specifically for prospects since only one auto per BD box compared to two nba players.

[Oex @O_Excess]

@WaxMetrix @iCeazey @CardPurchaser How do you know how much they hold back? Do they publish this?

[Oex @O_Excess]

@WaxMetrix Retail wasteland

[Oex @O_Excess]

@GrandSalamiSC I’ll take three plz

[Oex @O_Excess]

@NEOCards_Comics also, was that a chatgpt graph? Why is the font f'd

[Oex @O_Excess]

@NEOCards_Comics why is 2024/25 combined? Maybe 2026 is not a reduction if they lumped in two years for the previous - as accounts naturally fluctuate across years

[Oex @O_Excess]

@WaxMetrix Thank you, squatch!

[Oex @O_Excess]

@WaxMetrix I got the L - 15th time in a row

[Oex @O_Excess]

@TalkinBaseball_ He’s back!

[Oex @O_Excess]

@WaxMetrix I bought some megas like a degenerate. Couldn’t help myself.

[Oex @O_Excess]

@WaxMetrix This is the mostly paper release?

[Oex @O_Excess]

Defied the odds on heritage - bought two boxes but this was in the first. Keeping the second sealed.

Numbers are bad in this product but couldn’t help myself @WaxMetrix

[Oex @O_Excess]

@WaxMetrix the more accessible sets are being absolutely ravaged

[Oex @O_Excess]

Think shohei is short printed maybe just on the /25 and below. So odds are pretty low. I’d have to run the numbers on how low but it ain’t good.

I thought maybe he’d be make an appearance in all the serialized but that doesn’t seem to be the case from the anecdotal evidence coming in.

Safe to say, calculating individual odds going forward will be mostly impossible.

[Oex @O_Excess]

@4CardsOnly @Topps Ya - super short print plus the odds of those autos generally were misprinted and never corrected

[Oex @O_Excess]

Welp - my post about odds seems a bust as the best performers auto seems to be a case hit or worse and not the 1:21 published odds.

Please @Topps - review and update your odds sheet - you have to get these things correct

If you hit a best performers auto let me know.

[Oex @O_Excess]

I ordered 40 of these and they all had major issues. In general the living collections have not been consistently poorer quality.

To Topps credit they did accept the defect submission.

[PSAcard @PSAcard]

On hardwood, Cooper Flagg’s game is elite. But on the surface of his 2026 Topps Living card, PSA graders have flagged a common print defect.

[Oex @O_Excess]

@GrandSalamiSC For sure and the best performance autos are still at least 10x off the published odds (1:21 packs) and Topps has been tagged several times about it by both large and small accounts. At least issue a statement or change the odds sheets so people aren’t wrecked

[Oex @O_Excess]

👀Think we'll be seeing a few record sports card sales this year.
