I did more #Topps Series 1 calculations… we know Jumbos have by far the best odds for hits.
So why buy retail? Almost half the numbered cards are buried in retail packs, (but the odds of any of hitting them…)
Here is the % of all #’d cards by product
This seems like a smart strategy by Topps/ Fanatics.
By loading Jumbos with good odds, breakers and die hard hobbyists are happy.
By putting almost half the good hits in retail, casual collectors still have a chance to hit something big. Then if they post their big retail hits to social media, people will still buy retail hoping to beat the odds and hit something big.
I’ve decided to start putting smaller sets, subsets, insert sets, etc in binders. Do you penny sleeve them first? Or put them directly in the pages. Penny sleeves is a little tight and doesn’t look as good.
Bought a 2021 Topps Platinum Anniversary Hobby Box as a personal break from @1CentSportsCards. Check out what I got starting at 2:40:30. Nice HOF Auto hit!
Some weekend pickups and also it’s my response video to @flippingsteve9355’s request to help him and his brother Tim. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Tim!
Also, thanks to @BaseballCollector for all the HOF card collecting ideas and inspiration.

Vintage Baseball Card Packs
2023 #Topps Series 1 Baseball comes out tomorrow
What format gives you the best bang for the buck??
Based on packs odds, Jumbos seem the way to go! (and Blasters look awful!)
I calculated the cost per hit across formats.
What are you buying??
