That’s unusual I thought at the very worst you would hit a ruby per box. Every box I’ve seen broken has at least hit a ruby.

Bought 6 boxes from various local newsagents last year for 0 rubies.

The trend continues.

But still not released as retail/hobby with nothing in there boxes not even a ruby

Just seen that someone pulled a ruby, sapprire and emerald from a newsagent box. I give up.

What hits were in your boxes?

 

[Rocket1908]

been an issue with almost every release, i think 2016/2017 had like 9000 numbered hits available across 6400 boxes and theres somehow still duds. surely you're putting something in every box

Good chance they might have been from dealers boxes ?

Definitely stated they were from a newsagent. It's in the box break threads.

i did the math and theres 8362 hits not counting rubies. there should be 2 hits per box minimum. why are we still seeing stacked cases?

Don't get me going about the cases. One of mine from a preferred seller only had 2 LS BLACK and a Jersey.

Aren't Rubies meant to be 1 per 24 packs? So 24 packs in a box = 1 Ruby?

Watching some of the Diggaz streams there were boxes with multiple Rubies, so does that mean for every 2 in a box another box will will get none?

Just did the figures. There are 6600 boxes produced. Maximum number of rubies is 5760 and sapphires 2880. This means there are 840 boxes or 84 cases without these cards.

I have had 2 different cases now with 3 blacks and a booklet redemption

The collation on these is all over the place. I'm sure I saw somewhere that there are 7 case variations. Anywhere from 0 hits to multiple hits.

 

[redtorana]

Dealer cases are definitely not stacked this year it is just a huge error on the collation of the cases .....

While that's what it should be, they get around this with the fine print on the packets stating something like the odds are against the entire production run, not per box. The only card they give a per box ratio rather than per packet are the Custodian box card.

I busted a box from a dealer and only hit a ruby in the box, no other high end card. so not all dealers boxes are stacked.

 

[Scott97]

I’ve been to 5 newsagents today.
Every box had a hit. Pulled 3 white YGs, 1 white LS and a Dogs Jersey Sig. These boxes were definitely newsagent stock and not dealers.

 

[Sharks16]

Just been to my local newsagent in Toowoomba. They had three boxes for sale. Purchased two and as per last year no rubies and no sapphire.

No hits at all ? That’s a joke
