I just opened my first Hanger pack from Walmart. I have a blaster that I will open over the next day or 2.
First off, they look so much better in person. I was disappointed when I saw the sell sheets, I like them much better in hand. I just wonder in 10 years from now, how the design will be judged.
Also, I pulled a rookie sticker auto of a player I never heard of. I open A LOT of hanger packs every year and I can't remember the last auto that I got. Also a Royal Blue Acuna parallel. My first thought was Fanatics/Topps is front loading the first wave of product and a few weeks from now autos will be a tougher pull, in retail.
Anyway happy "flagship release week".

Were you able to get a complete 350 card Series 1 set from the 2 boxes? In total between the 2 boxes how many were duplicates of base & inserts? I see that at least 5 of the 479 base cards were dupes based on your spread sheet. I like to complete sets and am curious how many boxes will be necessary to complete the task.

Actually, I was surprised to get any duplicates in the same hobby box. There were 241 base cards in the 1st hobby box and Series 1 is 350 cards. I think the 2nd box with no duplicates is the norm.

I have to agree with all the comments that the set looks even better once in hand. I have never immediately paged a set right out of the packs and I did so today to get the full effect. It looks outstanding. This set has made me also do something I've never done before and that is to seriously consider collecting the Topps Chrome version when it comes out.

Haven’t picked up a hobby box yet, but just got a hanger at target and pulled an Elly RC and a Shohei. Definitely look better in hand, I thought the first card was a rainbow foil but that’s just how all the base cards look.

When I was organizing the base, the black numbers, on white background and a very simple font make sorting easy and quick.
So far the only negative I have on the set is ridiculous number of parallels of EVERY base card. In the future if they would pick one player per team or card numbers 1,25,50,75,100, etc. I like the Brewers, but Rowdy Tellez doesn't need Easter Bunny edition cards.

So i've sorted through the inserts from the two Jumbo I bought.
And there is some terrible collation going on. Almost every insert (aside from Auto's, Patches, etc) I have duplicates of. Some inserts I got two of the same in the same box, which means I have 4 of the same card now (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/410107/cid/23851855/2024-Topps---2023-Greatest-Hits-23GH-23-Royce-Lewis).
The numbering on the inside of the boxes is the same, so i'm guessing they were from the same case.
Next time i'm going to ask my LCS to have different boxes from different cases to avoid stuff like this.
