I thought I saw a post somewhere saying there would be 75 SP and 25 SSP which appear to be legends.
I'm liking what I'm seeing with some of the candid or non baseball shots for the SP variations.
Thank you to whoever pumped out the additions on top if the base checklist. If it is 20 remaining, that shouldn't be too terrible. There will always be refinements.

Great job guys. Now if only my local Walmart would get some in, and I could go buy some! (Yes, I've already checked today)

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

The collective of many people working together to maintain this site as a group effort is kind of a double edged sword.
I am currently working on an Excel sheet to document my collection to go along with the site. It is going to take a while, but at least I know that I am the only one touching the data.
It's awesome that anyone can add and change things here, but it's not awesome when things are added or changed wrong.

They had it in, bought out already. One person came in and bought the entire stash in one foul swoop...
Aren't you in/near frozen tundra land right now? Maybe they didn't get a chance to deliver?

I'm kind of on the borderline. Its -8 Fahrenheit, but the snow melted over the weekend and we didn't get anymore. So driving conditions are fine. Although I think it may snow tonight. Service desk girl didn't know what day the card lady comes in, but should be here sometime this week.
I think that if I were going to spend what the person at your Walmart spent, I would buy hobby boxes!

You would think. I've seen Bowman products (regular and Platinum) and even Topps Chrome disappear because of that phenonena. Someone comes by and buys the entire display for whatever reason. I walk in to get a pack or two and there is nothing but an empty display case...on the day the of product's release. And there is a card shop not even 10 minutes from the WalMart this happens at.

So I got confirmation from Vrooomed that it is 100 SP/SSP variations and I talked to Ryan Cracknell of Beckett and he let me know that it is 75 SP and 25 SSP. I have all 75 of the SP cards but only 4 of the SSP cards, here are the SSP cards I have now. So if you see any others, please let me know so I can update the checklist. The SSP cards are player variations where a retired/HOF player takes place of the regular player for the card number.
32 Cal Ripken Jr. - Baltimore Orioles
50 Ted Williams - Boston Red Sox
57 Nolan Ryan - Houston Astros
260 Reggie Jackson - New York Yankees

Probably the card shop guy buying them. And I'm being dead serious too.

I have no doubt. I knew a LCS owner who tried that once in '17. Joke was on him, there was only 1 blaster left on the shelf.

I added a Ty Cobb SSP for #176. I apologize if I did it wrong. That makes 5 of 25.
