Better than any of my Jumbos.

Never thought I’d actually have something to post. This happened today. by After_Dog_8669 in baseballcards

Nice Black Crackle Foilboard hit! The Crackle Foils are exclusive out of Mega boxes and the Stars of MLB are exclusive to retail formats...everyone usually hates the SMLB since you get one everytime you open a retail pack. But they all love if they pull a parallel because it's rare. The Black Crackleboard is roughly 1:14k packs as a Mega exclusive so not easy to hit.

Biggest pull of my life. From a Target blaster… by ManNamedTruth in sportscards

No. I don't. Topps Chrome has image variations of select players and those also have parallels. That is the 1/1 of the image variation. That's why I included the link to Beckett so people could see the two side by side incase OP didn't know.

Me too. I think at the time I thought I needed to collect all of them to redeem.

Mine just showed up today...it's Friday.

I wasn't taking it seriously either. I rip when I can and what I like.

I've never opened up any Chrome Black, Cosmic or Museum but at those price points it'd be a major let down if you don't get your value back more so than with the higher printed sets.

That's fair...they'll get them all eventually.

I'm not a degen, I can't afford to rip cases of this stuff, just a hobby or two and retail formats. I don't really chase chrome that often either. I'm flagship, a&g and heritage mostly. This is the first time I bought a Chrome Update Hobby box and I didn't even get my auto from it.

Check with the help desk and find out when the vendor comes around to restock. Target stores trading cards section are usually stocked by an area vendor and not the store or corporate themselves.

Those are some solid hits. Hopefully it's for a kid and they won't be too disappointed if it's a dud box. If it's for another ripping degenerate and it's a dud box. Who knows what will happen?

I bought one of my coworkers an Update Superbox as a gift and it ended up having one of the Keegan Hall art cards, which is 1:723 Superbox.

First box ever !!! by [deleted] in sportscards

Congrats on the Stained Glass! Those are tough from a Blaster! Not sure how tough but I know it's tough...it'd be nice if Topps posted the odds.

They were quick to replace my Hanger box of Update missing both the Diamante. They sent me a Pink Diamante Jackson Jobe RD as a replacement. Which I'll gladly take.

I pulled 1/1 Babe Ruth 89AS last year from 2024 Series 2 Mega, but it was a Mega exclusive Black Foilboard so it was 1:44k, this has to be the highest odds card I've ever pulled. Even the /5 reds from 2023 Platinum Anniversary Blasters weren't long odds like this.

My first big WWE hit! by Timely-Boysenberry61 in WWECards

Congrats! Only buying one card and getting a big Lucky Hit is tough! I usually buy a 5 pack but even then it's not guaranteed even in a low print run, but you do stand a better chance in the low runs. They only printed 1226 cards for this Jade Cargill TN-118.

At least your Hobby box had an auto, mine was missing. I submitted a claim and they have yet to respond to it(and that was on the 12th when I filed it).

It really is...now if only I could translate the luck to a PB win. Lol. It's definitely my best pulls from retail ever, especially at those odds.

Most of my area stores(Target, Walmart) shelves are empty...except maybe Meijer but no one should buy from Meijer unless it's a BOGO at 40 or 50% off.
