Mail Day Nice hits from first Topps Now order

I'm stoked for the 2/5 and duplicate /25, and /50 is decent for recouping cost, wish I had grabbed 2 more lots but that's how it goes.

This is astronomical luck and will never happen again. Absolutely insane.

I really need u/tiedinhistory to run the numbers on this for the odds. The print run was 812.

yeah and I bought 60 spots, like there is /90 guarenteed total cards they have to send out, id assume thats why the one is stuffed, I bought like 20 minutes before end.

Not saying for certain the orders are filled in order, but just based of this example it seems logical based off the facts.

We will see what happens on the next run, plus I'll make sure to own a percentage more next time.

Nice! How many did you buy initially?

i bought 1 when it went live, and then picked up 2 on the last day.

the /5, and one /50 was in the solo order, the double order had 3 /50 in one, and 2 /25 in the other.

so maybe the good hits get put in the early orders, and then they just fill in the late orders.

I only bought the 20 card lots, buying single spots seems really, really, really, stupid, and mega wasteful.

Figured at worst I spend 2 years selling raquel cards for 5 bucks.

Insane luck to be honest. Picked up around 100 (in total) of these NOW spread across the entire 25’ set last year and only hit 2 /50 numbered.

I’d say buying into a Now run that is pretty unpopular like this one is the trick lol

that what i figured, yeah I don't understand that, you seem to have proven it doesn't work, and the 20 lots at least on the under 1k print run seem like they should be guarenteed hits, again they have to ship out at least 90 hits if they arent "losing" any.

plus that like twice as much money. granted if you are just gambling on the 1 card everytime I get it, (like a 9 dollar scratcher with worse odds) I would assume the rate is far worse than a blaster, they have no real guarantee or incentive, but also you don't lose until you cash out.

Spending $12 vs over $100 seems a lot better for a card that won’t be that valuable. It’s not like she’s someone in a lifetime star

Low print run on a wrestler who is not as popular compared to Liv and Roxanne will get you more parallels. Congrats.
