Is This Normal? Topps Archive
I have just started collecting again and I haven't gotten a box of cards in 20 years.
So for Father's Day, my wife and kids got me a hobby box of Topps Archive. As I opened the box of 24 packs, I noticed that I did not get a single duplicate in the entire box.
Is this normal?

Topps has gotten better at collation than they were back in the day. Makes it a little easier to put sets together.

It just depends on the product. Collation varies and some boxes are better than others with getting no duplicates. I actually find it pretty rare to get a box without a single duplicate, unless it's a high end box with only a couple packs in it.

I got a jumbo box of 2011 Topps series 1 last year, and I noticed the exact same order of cards in different packs, and I don't know how many Scott Hairstons I got...
