OT: Paul Skenes Rookie Card Search

I'd put money on that card, or the box/case that card was likely not-so-randomly inserted into, being in the vault of the card company. People have to buy more product first! I can't possibly believe anything else. The longer it takes to be pulled, the more this theory makes sense.

I'm with you. I mean if it was pulled within a few days of product release, and some guy posted it on youtube, it would defeat the whole point.

That's not true on the Topps Now 1/1. Those are all shipped when issued and it's not like pack pulled cards.

And the card not being pulled really does not do Topps/Fanatics any good. The conspiracy theories will become they did not insert the card into a pack/box/case etc. The last thing any card company needs is that type of publicity.

It’s not like the Skenes card still being live is unique to the Skenes card. There are many big cards that have yet to be hit.

I believe the Topps Now triple auto was in a pack. They were silver packs that were sent out with a redemption for the 1/1 auto. The packs were selling on ebay for like $2k. So while I doubt it, it's possible it wasn't pulled.

There's a great documentary on Netflix I think about the McDonalds monopoly game fraud. If this hasn't gone on over the years with these chase cards at least occasionally I'd eat my hat. Or 10 hats.
