I sent my first shipment of cards to Commons 4 Kids today. It was great big ol' box, packaged in the wrong way because you know the post office and its Rules. The box was full of Dodger dupes (trust me, fellow Dodger traders, you have all of these cards already). It felt good to get a bunch of extra cards out of the way that were just sitting there unwanted. But it's a never-ending battle, as you know, because, good gosh, it seems like Topps' collation is worse than ever. I have bought one blaster, one hanger box, two fat packs and one loose pack of 2017 Topps. That comes out to 217 base cards (That may not add up correctly, a few cards are parceled out for trade packages). Out of those 217 cards, 77 of them are dupes. That's almost 36 percent! That seems like a lot, doesn't it? I know it's a small sample size, but, damn, if I was trying to complete this set, that would be deflating. Better order your hobby box and forget about the card aisle. Also, out...
