07/08 Topps Letterman Basketball Hobby 8 Box Case

[KenTyler]

I will go with the majority on the letterman, etc issue.

[deuxmachinax]

I would rather count it as a "hit" like you've said.

I say if it is inside a mini box then the person with the first slot in that mini gets it. Thoughts?

Are you saying that the mini box that contains the lettermen booklet or scenic auto could contain another hit? I know we don't know the mini box config but if that is the case, then I would make that case hit the "first" hit of the mini box and anything after that will be the other hit.

I was told (not sure if its true) that the letterman is packaged seperately inside a mini box so there would be 2 hits in that mini box(If this is the case, then the lettermen will be the hit and the extra will be randomized at the end). Otherwise the break will consist of a mini box per slot in order..and extras randomized at the end. E

Guys if you haven't paid please have them in by next week end so I can order the case and prepare. Deposit has been sent and just need the rest of the payments to fully pay. Thanks E

That all sounds fine.

Need to clarify one thing before the randomization and break next week. Letterman book will be first hit in masterbox if it is not inside a mini box. If letterman booklet is inside mini box, but outside pack it is the hit for that slot and hit inside pack will be randomized. Hope this makes sense. E

Yeah, go figure, but the first slot may turn out to be a lettermen booklet.

I'm guessing those 2 redemptions are gonna get random off at the end of the break or something else is gonna get worked out ?

I just reread the change and looks like they are "Bonus" Hits so they will be randomized. I wonder how they are going to be in the boxes??? We have 8 Master Boxes(3 mini boxes in each) There is going to be one of these in each 4 Master Boxes or 2 total. Maybe they are coming in 2 seperate 4 Master Box cases, will see Friday.

Here is the deal on these they will be held till the end and randomized. If you have Slot 23/24 and we run out of hits(unlikely the way it sounds) then slot 23/24 will get one of these bonus hits as there hit.


Here is a clear breakdown of this Break:

Each Person will receive one hit(+ 9 Base if you are one of the people who are lucky**see 1st post). The Letterman/Scenic Card will be considered hits if they are inside one of the three mini boxes inside the master. The person with the next slot will receive as there hit. "BUT" if they are like Toppers outside the Master Boxes, like I have been told the "Bonus" packs will be. Slot 1 will receive the letterman booklet and slot 2 the scenic card. The new "Bonus" Hits will be held till end and randomized OR Distributed to slots 23/24 if we are short. Any additonal extras will also be randomized. Thanks E

From what I understand from local distributer, they are add ons after the fact. Come seperate and not even sealed within the boxes. More like a "case topper".

[deuxmachinax]

Now I feel like cracking a case to myself. I haven't bought Topps in a long long time though.

Thats what I was kinda thinking but (2) seperate 4 master box cases with a topper each? or (1) 8 box master with 2 toppers? Either way they will be extras then and randomized at the end. E

If the lettermen and scenic cards were separate (not in typical packs) weren't the first and second slots going to get them?
