Officially in the junk wax 2.0 era. Have to buy 14 blasters to get one numbered card. And they nerfed retail. 3 times harder now to pull hits in retail than hobby. First time the odds have been different like that.

The aces with the curved corners and holo treatment is nice. That one definately looks more like a Panini insert, except with logos! very nice. Great first look, really appreciate the rip!

Nice to finally see these! Enjoyed the video

nice design, looking forward to picking some up. nice preview, thanks!

So last year was 1:38 and this year is 1:99 and it's because they've produced more cards, almost 3x more than last year? I was confused because I assumed they produced the same number of Cards as last year and made the odds harder for retail or something...but that's not correct is it?

So it looks like Hobby odds are significantly better this year at the expense of retail. Wish I’d have known that before I pre-ordered blasters from Target. My mistake. Extra excited for my jumbos now though!

I like the design this year, something different.

Skipping the blasters. Going to open a few jumbo hobby packs on release day and stick with hangers for retail.

I'm not sure why, but this design does not feel "flagship" to me. It feels like an insert design or something that Big League would use. I think it is one of those love-it-or-hate-it designs. At least the names are horizontal, so that is a plus!
