    Does anyone know when all of the new 88 sets will be available,
    and at about what price(s) they will be offered?
    
    I would expect to be able to obtain them at the Boxboro show.

| 25.3 | I got a Boggs | RICKS::ROUILLE | Thu Jan 28 1988 08:33 | 6 | |
|     I've opened 8 packs of topps and got a regular issue Boggs.  I've
    gotten only 3 redsox (Boggs, Barrett, Gedman) and about 9 Yankees.
    
    Doesn't seem fair

| 25.4 | random probability | BMT::FERRES | Thu Jan 28 1988 12:41 | 11 | |
|     I've opened 10 boxes - got 16 Mattingly and Boggs and Dawson, but
    only 3 Brett, McGuire and others.  Probability is a real pain -
    I wish Topps did their distribution a little less randomly,
    and more like Fleer and Donruss, where you usually get about
    the expected number of each card. (So far this year I've opened
    6 boxes of Donruss, and gotten pretty even distribution).  So
    right now I'm both happy and unhappy with my Topps.  Maybe if
    I get a few more boxes ...
