Based on the number of how many #ed to 25 cards I've seen (about 5 each) I think at least 20% of the product has been opened. I have seen about 5 Miletich OOH, 5 Arianny Gear autos, 3 Lesnar BL autos, Quite a few of the duel mat autos. This is just a guess. Retail just came out , so it could be more if these are spread into the retail. Just the thoughts going through my head right now. |

maybe, but you don't really know the % of people that put up their cards for sale online. Many keep it for PC, sell to friends, or bring to trade shows so its too hard to say i think.
Also, you shouldn't look at the OOH autos or BL autos. You should should look at the Hobby exclusives like Dual mats and Ultimate gear autos.

It's all a crap shoot... many time the mfg's load up on the first cases that go out to spark more interest (Common UD practice) so that skews your numbers when you base it on low numbered stuff... and like what was mentioned, retail makes it even more difficult to assess the real numbers.

im guessing 95% has been opened. Cases are hard to come by now. so if topps produced 1250 cases, that leaves 75 cases unopened which is probably reasonable to think. ------------- http://www.buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6881&title=fubar - Pride FC cards for Sale |

Its crazy to me to think that the Jon Jones Diamond and Rubies along with the missing Gono Rubies were in Retail boxes at Target.
I would be open to do a two person R2 Retail Case break if any one is up for the gamble.

yeah that thought haunts me. But again the casual fan might not think to look at the back of the cards. ------------- Looking for Alves & Miguel Torres stuff. Paying top dollar! PM me |

Appreciate it, but I enjoy the mystery of it. Its my white whale.
Ive been through this type of stuff with topps sets before. If/when it finally surfaces, it will be a joyous day.
