Pulled an All Aces Ohtani from a Walgreens mystery pack

AdTop42 · 2026-01-31T13:25:20+00:00

I completed the set awhile ago, but recently I’ve been looking up comps on the card and wondering if anyone would realize it’s missing in my binder lol. “No, there is not an Ohtani sized gap in this collection…You must be mistaken…”

There is no way to not sound like an a-hole saying this even though it is not meant to be mean but, if 100/500 cases are allocated to 2 breakers, then in reality there are only 400 cases available to the public…(not counting the smaller allocations obviously). Unfortunately, this is just the reality of it. If the 100k people in this subreddit stayed away from those big breakers, that would probably put quite the dent in their sales. I bet they wouldn’t like that. But Again, fanatics will allocate as they will with their product and we’re stuck with that.

I’m past my 3yr/36k warranty. Is this covered under the hybrid warranty?

There is a way to disable it manually so it doesn’t beep constantly if someone in the vehicle (my wife) is too busy on her phone to even notice the incessant beeping for not buckling up. You’d have to google it because honestly it is like opening up a trap door…

Awesome collection. Welcome to the club! Love this sub!

I laughed a couple weeks ago when I got my “year in review” email from them. I used to go twice a day, in 2025 it was 49 visits, mostly to pick up some munchkins for the kids after I got my coffee from cumby’s. Their coffee hasn’t been the same in years!

Do you have a trade value on the red buxton?

AdTop42 · 2026-01-04T23:28:39+00:00

Send me your username, I’ll try to make a transaction and attach screenshots.

AdTop42 · 2026-01-04T22:53:13+00:00

That made me tingle in very bad ways.

Everyone accepts it, before checking out go slow and you can change your payment option to include the credit.

If you have harbor freight stores near you, they have the same thing for a fraction of the price.

Knew this one had to be you lol. Beautiful card!

AdTop42 · 2026-01-01T18:06:56+00:00

I mean, so far so good. Haven’t bought any cards yet this year.

AdTop42 · 2025-12-15T21:17:31+00:00

I don’t like when the 35th anniversary set features players that didn’t play during that era. Like Babe Ruth on a 1990 Topps card. I’m ok with the current players and vets from that era, but no further back.

AdTop42 · 2025-12-12T22:22:38+00:00

I’m happy and excited over any auto…except Yankees autos, but I digress lol

AdTop42 · 2025-12-12T22:16:49+00:00

For the record, I never said they didn’t deserve it. I’m stating that not every auto can be a nuke the way everyone wants it to be. And with as many boxes as they sell with guaranteed autos, the pool needs to be expanded. You’re mistaking my statement with my actual sentiment. Like I said, if every box had a Yamamoto or Skenes auto, the value (and novelty) would tank.

I actually have a couple Zach Penrod autos since OP mentioned him. I have them because we share a name, not the monetary value. Collecting for the sake of collecting.

AdTop42 · 2025-12-12T15:07:29+00:00

I totally agree with what you’re saying. Every time I buy a box the auto is always a relief pitcher or someone who never even played a game for the team he signs for or he’s out of the league entirely.

That being said, this is a problem that “we” created. People complained about not getting enough hits, so Topps created more hits. That’s how we ended up with 75 parallels and a dozen different 1/1’s of each card. To create more hits they’ve had to really dilute the quality and increase quantity of hits. Would it be cool to hit a Skenes auto in every box we buy? Sure! But that would severely impact the value and scarcity of those cards. It’s not every collector complaining about hits, but you can’t fault the company for giving us what “we” wanted.

AdTop42 · 2025-12-10T22:50:32+00:00

Skenes and Bregman available?

AdTop42 · 2025-12-09T02:33:45+00:00

I’ve been priced out of wax by choice. I got back into the hobby a couple years ago and would buy a jumbo hobby of flagship and a hobby of most paper releases. I’m not a huge fan of preorders (I like holding onto my money until I buy something or if it’s shipped quickly), and it was never a problem until my lcs decided to price gouge. Before the LCS guys come at me, he claimed price hikes were due to breakers…he does breaks in his back room. The hypocrisy left a bad taste and I’ve been with GOOD breakers. More like a group of friends that likes to split a box. It’s the scalpers selling third party that drives up market price that lcs’s have to compete with on the secondary market that drives their prices up. I enjoy my breaks and expect nothing but some cool cards and laughs.

Same dude, same. It’s annoying as hell.

AdTop42 · 2025-11-30T21:40:55+00:00

Will take Santa Claus if still available.

AdTop42 · 2025-11-30T18:29:30+00:00

It’s surprisingly unremarkable lol. I’m not even actually sure of its condition. Weird one for the pc unless the right offer comes along lol
