In my two cases, EACH case had one of each "randomized" uncommon, and exactly 2 of each common.So, how did you get 3 identical cases? I have a theory…There is probably a specific number of ways that rare figures are distributed throughout cases. Not truly random, but not so simple as an A case and a B case. The way these "randomized" cases are stacked on a shipping pallet is probably uniform, and either as a fluke, or due to some really methodical shelving practices at your distributer, you managed to get identical cases…</blockquote>
