| WARNING - avoid Topps | Login/Join |
Gold Card Talk Member |
If your main issue, though, as his seemed to be, is wanting Topps to provide him a sketch that was found at a rate of 1 in 96 packs in the version of the cards he bought, but he only bought 24 packs of it, I'm not sure how you'd go about getting them to give you one, no matter who you get ahold of by phone or email, or how quickly. For that reason, it's incredibly important as to what kind of box he bought. Had he known the sketches were only one in 4 boxes, he might not have bought the box and avoided this trouble. ____________________ Everywhere around this burg they're running out of verbs, adverbs, and adjectives.

I was talking about the box break when it came to the sets and chase. Not whether you got a sketch. | |||

Where do thry post the odds for what's different in a retail box (clearly there were a t least a couple, like the sketch). ____________________ Star Trek cards rule, everything else drools. | |||

If you check the Mars Attacks boxes on ShopTopps, thet've now added the odds for sketches (1/96 packs) in bold red numbers, which they probably should've had on there from the start, but better late than never. It might be this very topic that got Topps to make that change on their website (at least I don't remember seeing the odds in red numbers when the boxes first went on sale). ____________________ Everywhere around this burg they're running out of verbs, adverbs, and adjectives.

Yah, it wasn't there yesterday when I peeked. I"n glad. It's unlikely they intended to casue confusion. I assume the *perk* of the box was getting the variant box, not what was IN the box. Letting everyone know upfront is a good thing! ____________________ Star Trek cards rule, everything else drools. | |||

What is also interesting is that if this thread played a part in the change to the website no one from Topps told us about the changes here. ____________________ | |||

They'd probably want to keep to being a lurker, otherwise they might get too many questions. ____________________ I'm looking for colored "Robots the Movie" sketch cards by Inkworks. http://www.comicartfans.com/Ga...etail.asp?GCat=25744 | |||

So really the original poster of this thread had a valid gripe, although somewhat over-dramatically expressed, if Topps has since changed its website for clarity on the Mars Attacks retail boxes. If eviffoylimaf hasn't stalked off Card Talk I would tell him/her that.  | |||

I also noticed that the *bold, red* statement concerning the odds in the boxes sold online was new. That's a bummer since not everyone (obviously) realized that these were retail boxes vs. hobby boxes. Bad introduction to the hobby for the new folks.  ____________________ Debi Reliving my childhood one piece of painted plastic and slab of cardboard at a time. | |||
