I have seen two posts via twitter the last day or so RE above - "I have just opened 4 - 2019 Topps Jumbo boxes and did not get a single SP or SSP card in any of the boxes"
is anyone pulling SP or SSPs via Jumbo Hobby boxes? I know they are hard to pull but 4 Jumbos is a shit ton of cards with no shorties?

I read on Becketts forums of some people coming across the same issue with Jumbo cases/boxes.

That's intersting , I opened 4 regular ( non-jumbo ) 2018 Topps Update hobby boxes and got no sp's or ssp's . I think it was the first time in years that I didn't get any , I hope this isn't happening with 2019 too . Considering they just raised the price and give fewer cards this would really make the value vs. price less reasonable .

It's been confirmed by multiple sources:
Jumbo have SSP's, no SP's
Hobby has SP's (Unsure of whether they have SSP's

I started buying a Jumbo box, each series 3 years ago? I started on a Series 2 order and when I receive my box tomorrow or Saturday it will be my 6th one. (I don't get one for the update.) I'm probably jinxing myself, but I've always gotten a SP card, never an SSP. I never gave it much thought but they are always a pleasant surprise. Maybe someday I'll get a Royals SP or even a Royals player autograph card or relic. I've yet to ever pull one of those.

I just broke a jumbo box and I got no SP or SSP cards. Usually, I get 1 or 2 in a jumbo.

There are no SP's in jumbo. People who open 10, 20, or more CASES of Jumbo have found no SP's. They HAVE pulled SSP's but those are long odds, so it's not like you'll get one in a box or two - most of the time. Some people are saving the jumbo wrappers hoping that Topps announces a wrapper redemption for the boo-boo but the longer it goes with no announcement, the less likely it becomes.
Gold odds are WAY DOWN on jumbo and WAY UP on hobby this year too. The odds are all messed up. You get the guaranteed autos in jumbo, but otherwise, hobby is the way to go this year. Golds, inserts, rainbows, SP's... all better in hobby.

Well that sucks, as I went back and forth on two hobby boxes vs one jumbo ... decided on the jumbo getting the two silver packs as well for $90 ... maybe I’ll get a lucky auto.

I bought 4 hobby boxes and 1 jumbo hobby box .I got 4 SP from the hobbies and 1 SSP from the jumbo. I had already read that people weren't getting any short prints out of the jumbo boxes so I was pleasantly surprised .

With the A&G mini wood debacle (did those ever show up) and now this, Topps needs to get it's collation QC under control.
