Vintage Baseball Card Packs

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.

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??

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.

Thanks for the feedback!
