I read somewhere that the latest releases of Topps Chrome/Chrome update for MLB and NBA have completely different player checklists between Hobby and Retail?? I get having longer odds for the high ceiling hits, or leaving some hits out of retail altogether, but the players are also different? Hell half the reason PPL make the (illogical) choice to buy retail blasters and megas is for the possibility of hitting a Cooper auto…..

Don’t get me wrong, yes I’m lucky to pull it. Sure, you can tell me the odds of this card are 1:#####.…but Brooks Barnhizer? We’re printing Brooks Barnhizer Chronograph autos now?

My 8 year old pulled this from a hanger box from WalMart! He’s new in the hobby and, by pulling a numbered Messi from a single hanger, clearly has way better luck than me! Going to let him do all my rips going forward!

Just pulled this from a Target Blaster. It is numbered, 4/5, which is Dak’s number. Curious how to think about numbered cards with jersey match. Does it matter? This isn’t a “how much is it worth?” post. I’m just trying to understand how jersey match impacts the value of a card.

I never imagined doing any more than break-even with Topps flagship retail mega! Should I grade the Murakami /25 or sell it raw??

The reason? It’s a govt agency with no penalty for poor performance. So the reasons are laziness, no motivation, and unwillingness to go over-and-beyond. It’s poor quality employees who spend more time looking for reasons to justify being late, than they spend delivering packages. My new favorite reason is below. Yeah, you read that right. My package in Nashville, TN, shipped from Wisconsin was delayed because of … the World Cup. That’s right - the single soccer game in LA caused shipping delays between TN and WI.

I would rather just have an honest delivery date, rather than a date that literally everyone knows won’t be met. Just stop trying USPS….or go private and let your lazy employees find out what it’s like to have to compete with competent companies like FedEx and UPS
