2024 Topps Chrome Update Mega box break

This was gifted from sister back in December and basically ends up being a glorified lottery ticket to pull a Rookie Debut Patch Autograph Card - I don't think it's worth what my brother in law paid at the card shop, but I was grateful to be able to bust this and see what I got.

Trying to read up on this particular box configuration online, was there not even a chance to pull a Rookie Debut Patch Autograph Card [?] - I think the fine print somewhere was that the chances for pulling such a card came at 1:336,040 mega packs.

To get the my curiosity out of the way, I ripped through these and didn't find anything at first, but when I formally list out the contents later on - the Wyatt Langford rookie I pulled was an variation, so while that didn't save the box or anything, it ends up a notable pull.

2021 Topps Ronald Acuña Jr. #263 - SP Variation

From a card show appearance, this pick up was more of an impulsive, splurge purchase at $10 - the asking price for the same exact card was $25 at a previous card show date earlier in the year, but it was probably comping on eBay for around what I paid, notably since Acuña Jr.'s season was wiped out due to injury.
