Well, maybe "case hit" was the incorrect term ... but they fall about 1 every case. 100 cards, each #/50, makes for 5000 cases, which I think is the run for this product (or maybe it's 2500 cases and two silk per case?).

[stang66dad]

Guess we will see from a very small sample size hahaha

[calculusdork]

Eric must have hit one of the 1/1 solid gold futures cards and then passed out.

Wow, 3 freese golds in one case? I'm curious as to how often the black parallels fall. Usually in update its one per box, but appears not to be so. Good luck on the other 2 boxes, your breaks always entertain me, and fortunately this one is early when I'm on vacation and just sitting around.

Ouch, didn't notice this. Was sincerely hoping they would collate the golds a little better, guess that won't happen.

I think Topps purposely collates update badly to sell more product. I never get a set out of update, and when I bought a case of 2010 I had so many gold dupes and the base collation was just awful. I think they collate it badly so people who just usually buy one jumbo box end up buying more packs to complete the set (its worked on me).

[LimpNewdle]

Interested in that Kimbrel if its FS

The big breakers swear you can get a base set out of almost every jumbo box ... hope that's true.

[Homerun]

You can. I bought 2 boxes of update last year, and I actually got 2 update sets. Maybe I was just lucky.

[dlcarst]

Uggg presidential predictors...those will go for 2 bucks apiece on ebay the first week, then you won't be able to give them away...

In my experience the last 4 years I've never got a whole set out of update. Series 1 and 2 almost always, but never update. I'm sure many people do get a set, but last year cases at 2 different LCS locally were badly collated.

They were all different.

The gold cards are 3 per jumbo and are from Series 1, 2 and Update.
