So because no one has pulled the Golden Ticket (TM) yet, the brain-trust at Topps has reduced the pack price from 20k to 15k. Discuss.

Note that they never stated the odds for the second Ticket. I bet it won't even be in the pack until it's most convenient for Topps.

I'm still pretty sure that they didn't list it at first. Either way, the first ticket was pulled within hours, and this one has taken days... I'm suspicious.

I'm suspicious. I just don't think the packs have been selling very well. The first golden ticket was a heck of a draw and everyone was excited to be the first to get their very own personal sig card. However, Topps wasted no time in trying to sell another one and a lot of people were turned off by this. Also, the fact that the pack doesn't have a guaranteed insert rubbed some people the wrong way.

I opened one of the super packs. No Inserts but 4 golds including a Teheran. I was happy but would have loved the golden ticket.

Its a marketing ploy!! First one goes out quick. All the next take forever. They are damn good manipulators! Unfortunately it will all catch up on them. Was going to do huddle this year, few months ago decided that was out of the question.

so at least they refunded the ppl that bought the discounted super pack... but do we know if anyone has pulled the 2nd ticket yet? this is really not good for topps or for any of us. the sad thing is, they continue to burn our patience and good will but nothing seems to deter them.
only 1 insert set came out today (the average is 2 and we were "blessed" with 3 last week). its not a great looking set, i wonder how many ppl are really chasing it. i guess we'll know if they start to discount it or give out the 1M bundle again.
