So strange
Don't think I'll ever figure out collation with Topps.
Back in the day, I would buy a box of wax, buy some rack packs and some jumbo cellos (lots of gum!).... Usually card that were missing from completing the set were in those other sales venues. To the point where if I were missing 20 cards, all the missing cards were in one cello or one rack. I assumed done that way to increase sales. ...... Purposely or not, I don't know?
Today, I don't think there's a rhyme or reason to their collation. It's not random, and it certainly isn't planned. Pseudo-randomized?
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
