I'm opening a 2021 Topps Chrome blaster box and I have an unopend pack with only one thin card in it.  Does this mean they made a mistake filling the pack or does it mean there's a great prize inside?   

I've never gotten a pack missing cards unless a thick relic was inside.

I'm waiting to open it...

Not sure.  Maybe a nice auto?

If all the oher packs are present maybe it's one of those blaster box exclusive. A unique parallel or something like that.

If that's the case the pack is usually different in color from that of the regular packs. From what I've seen in the past the pack is silver.

No, it's one of the 8 packs.   I'll assume it's a packing mistake unless I hear from people that sometimes a big hit is the only card in a pack even though it's a thin card.  

I had the same thing happen last week with - seriously- with a 2021 Panini Prizm blaster and Topps Chrome- both baseball. I couldn't believe I found 1, let alone 2 boxes for retail so I didnt wait to open them. The Panini box was a bust all around and the pack that felt thin had only 2 cards and neither were inserts, parallels etc. The box didn't have any numbered/SP cards, autos or memorabilia either. I tried to file on their website but (not surprisingly) the website kept crashing or kicking me off asking me to log in again. This is after being completely denied and ignored for my 1st auto redemption card back in December and a second two months ago.

   The Topps Chrome pack that felt thin had 3 or 4 cards but since I pulled a redemption card for Sam Huff auto in the next pack I decided to leave it alone. I didn't mean for this reply to be so long but if you read this far- thanks for hanging in and my apologies for the time it took ;)

   Let us know if you figure it out and Good Luck with the box overall- maybe it is a "glitch" since it happened to both of us. I'm in Wilmington, NC but they're probably all shipped from the same place so location may be irrelevant.

I can't think that I have ever come across something like that. I've had plenty of cards cripmed in the packaging process, but only one csrd in a regular pack? That definitely stinks.

The other 7 packs were normal with all the expected minor hits and one nice Tatis blue chrome /150.   And the pack itself was definitely not opened and resealed.   It's factory sealed.

Well, I'm going to video tape myself opening it - which will be pretty soon because packs don't stay sealed very long here.   If it's not a big hit I'll send the video to Topps as proof of the mistake.

Dud!  There was one pink refractor inside.  Gio Urshela.  Poorly centered.

I guess that I can't wait to see the video then. I've had blasters and hobby boxes shorted of what was guaranteed in the past, but never a pack with only 1 card unless it was supposed to only contain 1 card. I'm curious to see what is in that pack!
