As my wife said "I don't know why you continue to buy this stuff from Topps - it's a bit of a con - so many people don't get close to value for money".
She may have a point.
She may well have a point - but don't let her know or you'll never hear the last of it

Another good point!

Got two boxes.
8 foils: 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10
2 parallels: 72, 39
2 base sets (missing several for a third)
2 sketches: Woodside (*groan*) and a nice Rabbitte.
Oh, and the back of my Woodside was all scratched... the cards were probably falling from the pile onto the floor as he sketched them

First the good news I didn't pull a Waterhouse or Woodside. Here's what I did pull

Got a damaged low level autograph card in my box which was returned to TOPPS AND REPLACED QUICKLY my problem is the note that came with it said this replacement was a one time courtsey. They mentioned you much send proff of purchase for future returns. How did they think I got this card? When I buy boxes from dealers at shows I DO NOT ASK THEM FOR RECIEPTS AND I DOUBT MANY DEALERS WOULD EVEN BRING RECIEPT BOOKS WITH THEM. Hope people don't have problems in the future.

Frank - What Topps means by "proof of purchase" is you need to include the bar code from the bottom of the box. What I have done in the past is tape the bar code to the letter I am sending into Topps for either a card replacement or a dud box issue. I have done this on a few occasions and I have not had any problems with Topps customer service. They have always been diligent and courteous with issues I have had with their product.
Cheers - Peter

Well I finally got 1 box from e$ay and was not impressed
First of all why on earth use a slab of polystyrene to bulk out the box...better to make the box the right size or put more packs in
Next 1 card short of a base set
Next no foils
Next no parallels
Next no autographs
Next no sketch
In fact a truly dud box

Got my two boxes last week....
Box one had four foils, one parallel and a Jim Broadbent autograph.
Box two was one of those "hot boxes" and had eight foils, two parallels, a Jim Kyle sketch and a Karen Allen autograph.
All in all, I'm pretty pleased with it.

I received my 4 boxes today, and teared them open at work (Graveshift, looking at a computer all night, so yes: I can open cards and get paid )
Well, I dont have a scanner here so scans will come later, but I just had to brag about my findings! Box 1: A nice sketch Box 2: 2 nice sketches and 1 Koepp-auto Box 3: A nice sketch Box 4: 2 sketches, one ok and the other a RW-skull!
So with two hot boxes these four boxes yielded 7 hits. 5 paralells and a lot of foils, but no number 8 or 9! I was hoping for autos of Shia or Karen (and of course one of the biggies, but... U know), but with luck like this I am very happy with my boxes!

Here's my case break. I originally wasn't going to buy any after very disappointing LOTRM2 & Indy Heritage cases. I had a change of heart when my rebate check came in. As you can see from my break it was a mistake.

My first eveer box! 1 Indy skull - very meh, all in all...
Foils: 1,2,3,4 Parallels: None Sketches: None Auto: Alan Dale
Didn't even score a full base set. And I'd already jumped the gun and bought an Alan Dale auto off 'that site'. Still, pretty damn fun opening them!
