2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Problems

[Rockhound]

I'm not sure if any of you are having this same problem but I bought four hobby boxes and only one of them actually had the three hits that it said it should have. The other three boxes only had two hits. I went back through all my cards and double checked to see if I missed something. I guess I'll be calling Topps tomorrow to see what they tell me.

Have anyone of you ever had this problem before? If so, what was your course of action? Thanks.

If it's a "guaranteed 3", and you're not getting them - it's a Topps issue. I haven't bought boxes since the early 00's but even though they said a certain number could be attained, the side-box showing the breakdown woulds say something like an "average of 3" can be pulled. Topps is a big brand who's been around for a long time. It wouldn't surprise me to see that disclaimer still on the breakdown panel simply as a fallback in case of a bad release.
