    I love everyone that uses that stupid app...  Every kid that wants to buy something pulls out that app.

    Bought a 2020 SSp Trout off of ebay this weekend.  1 in 4000 Jumbo boxes or 13000 hobby boxes.

    Rare as hell.  Dude posted another right after this so i'll go after that one too.

    Yes. I just downloaded it a few weeks ago. I’ve only done a few cards but it is an amazing app. I don’t want to commit to being a big fan quite yet but I would recommend it. It messed up a few card matches or couldn’t identify but like I said I’ve only spent limited time using it. You’ll enjoy it I’m sure.

    It doesn't get everything so if you do use it, double check.  They have been known to be wrong sometimes.

    Oh, for sure. You gotta be careful of the variants ect. You can look up cards using keywords/dates as well. I’m sure the app will improve over time. Fun to mess with and like $5, so not bad price.

    I was told hanger packs will yield better cards than some of the boxes they offer. I popped on one yesterday and got this Ohtani Black Border Parallel. 
    064/200
    Only problem with the Black Border Parallel is that any imperfections on the corners really stand out. Can see a spot of white on all 4 corners. Nice card though. Probably best card I’ve gotten out of all the ‘23 Topps Series One I’ve bought, and I’ve bought a lot, lol.

    Edit: I was mistaken,  this particular Parallel is 064 out of 299 not 200.

    Jumbo is the only way to go on these or just buy your own cards.

    I'm not touching a box of these this year.  I'll wait for chrome.

    I buy the Black border Heritage variations and those can be pretty brutal too.  Just got a beautiful Kelenic rc black border.  I'll have that one graded.

    EDIT:  If you look at pack odds, the damn hangers yield the same results as a whole Hobby box so might s well buy hangers.

    Jumbos have the best odds.  Golden mirrors are like 1/46 for Jumbo and 1/1300 or something stupid for hangers and hobby.

    ^Exactly right. I’ve been on a little bit of a learning curve since delving back into the card game. I was popping on the smaller Blaster Box type offerings, and if I had known better, I would have just got Jumbo Box’s from the get. I was also, unfortunately, buying Parallel type boxes instead of Relic/Auto boxes. I prefer the Relic/Auto finds to a Parallel. Lesson learned. 

    ‘23 Bowman coming out soon,  Ill probably pop on a Hobby Box, or Jumbo if they offer that.

    Bowman is live today.  Boxes are dumb priced again.

    Jumbo is the way to go for those too but at $600 a box...

    Also there is a $1,000,000 bounty out on the Druw Jones Superfractor so there is some buzz in the industry about this.
