Default Topps 205 myths?

Hi All,
I recently opened two boxes of 2003 Topps 205 baseball. After seeing some
of the postings here and on ebay, I've concluded that either I got extremely
likely, or else there are some bad myths going around.

1.) First, there are NO known short prints. From just two boxes, I got a
complete set including all the variations of the 15 cards lists on
www.beckett.com (go to the Community/News scetion). I even got duplicate
pairs of variations. Maybe there are very rare variations that exist which
will come come to light as time goes on, but none are known of now. The
Tobacco Minis are a different story, with numerous variations and differing
degrees of scarcity.

2.) Collation is not that terrible and it won't take several boxes to build
a set. A few eBay sellers are saying that you need a few boxes to build a
set because the collation is so poor. This doesn't appear to be true. Of
course, they just want to sell product.

These are just my observations based on the boxes I opened. Anyone else
have any feedback about Topps 205? All in all, I really like the product,
and may even decide to build some sort of Tobacco Minis set too.

-Rodrick
