Man a psa 8 on the 2001 Topps. That is turning out ot be a card as hard or harder to find in a 10 slab than the 90 Topps. I think someone needs to sub a huge lot of the 01 Topps so we can all get our hands on a 10!

jeffcbay · May 22, 2009 12:44AM

The problem with that set is it's the same set as the Ichiro and Pujols RCs, so they're kindof expensive. Do I smell a group case rip?

tunahead08 · May 22, 2009 2:57AM

Those 2001's are tough as they tend to chip a lot

That sounds interesting! I do agree, the price is jacked up there, but it's his last Topps regualer issue card and the first card in the 50th anniversary set, has a lot of cool background, plus the LOW pop!

cyots82 · May 22, 2009 3:35AM

I'll also throw in the fact that I need the Maddux 01 Topps in a 10. It's one of the last three Maddux cards I need to complete my Maddux Basic Topps set. Group case rip sounds more and more interesting!

K · May 22, 2009 4:58AM

I bought 5 at a card show and submitted the best looking one! Thought for sure it was at least a 9. Def not an 8!

I would definitely be down for a group rip on a case.

cyots82 · May 22, 2009 2:03PM

BBCE series I retail wax case = $675. Not to bad, but I wonder how many Ripkens would come out of a box/case. Maddux is #660, so that's no help, but I wouldn't mind putting this set together raw, since it's the 50th annv. set and all!

tunahead08 · May 23, 2009 9:46AM

Should have something pretty rare to show off next week

I'm pretty excited about it!

K · May 23, 2009 12:14PM

So I was looking into the 2001 Topps product line. There are 3 Ripkens in the base set and 3 possible Ripken inserts. The only notable RC is Travis Hafner. Other than that only a few stars. Regardless I think it would be worth the shot of hunting for a Mint condition Ripken #1.

4 if you count the team card

Sizemore RC in 01??

Sheamaster · May 24, 2009 12:17AM

Another factor that makes the 2001 difficult is that it is common for these cards to stick together. I have opened several factory sets where the cards are stuck together in a brick and ruined. I have seen it in wax boxes as well. It happens on several of the early 2000 Topps cards, but 2001 seems to be the worst.

jackstraw · May 25, 2009 3:42AM

I am about 80% sure the Pujols is in the traded set?

jeffcbay · May 25, 2009 10:31PM

You're right, Ichiro is the only big card in this set, and he's in Series 2. I wonder, why does Series 1 cost the same as Series 2?

K · May 25, 2009 11:14PM

<< I wonder, why does Series 1 cost the same as Series 2? >>

The Hafner RC and 3 Ripken's will bring up the priice but I'm assuming it might have to do with the Series 1 Inserts being better.

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 12:28AM

*BUMP* whew, that was close!

Just purchased a bunch of raws to try and upgrade my Basic Set. Wish me luck!

tunahead08 · May 28, 2009 12:42AM

Good luck Jeff!!

cyots82 · May 28, 2009 2:48AM

I agree, I think the hunt for the 01 Ripken #1 would be worth it/ very enjoyable. How many here would be serious about doing this. I'd like to do it if it were affordable for everyone.

I'll be down for a group rip, especially since I'm cut off from Ebay right now.

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 3:07AM

Man, at first I didn't realize this was for a retail case. Ouch! At least each box still contains 36 packs. I'm still in for 3 boxes if we wanna get this thing going. We should call Steve and ask him if we can do a group rip with the case. Let's get some more interest and I'll make the call to Steve. Should we keep this group rip just in this thread, or post it on the main SC&M Forum?

tunahead08 · May 28, 2009 3:26AM

I may be in depending on the price.

K · May 28, 2009 3:30AM

I think the "regulars" on this thread should get first dibs before we allow everyone in on it. Although I do want to keep the price reasonable.

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 3:31AM

Just tried to call and got the machine. I'll call back in a bit and try to get a price per box, and shipping costs.

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 3:33AM

In the meantime, does anyone know what inserts are included in the RETAIL Series 1 36-pack boxes? For the life of me I can't figure out why these are the same price as Series 2 (w/ Ichiro RC). It must be an insert thing.

lsutigers1973 · May 28, 2009 3:53AM

Jeff, you know I am always up for a group rip.

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 3:54AM

K · May 28, 2009 4:06AM

you can edit me in for 3

K · May 28, 2009 4:19AM

Completely off topic. I was looking at an uncut sheet of 90 Topps (the Blue one with Ripken on it) and realized that our tough to grade #570 is on the far right side of the sheet roughly half way down. This could definitely be another reason why they don't grade out very well.

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 4:26AM

That's a good possibility. One would thing they would have this card-cutting thing down to a science! lol

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 4:37AM

If it's okay with everyone on here, I'll give this case until Friday at noon (ET) to sell out, before I move it to the main page. Is that enough time for us to have dibs?

lsutigers1973 · May 28, 2009 6:36AM

3 please

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 7:50AM

List has been updated. I'll be back on tonight after the Cavs game!

Here's a breakdown according to Beckett:

Base Set: 1, 384, 387 Gold Variations: 1:17

A Tradition Continues: #TRC2 1:17

Topps Combos: #TC3 1:12

Golden Anniversary: #GA11 1:10

Through The Years Reprints: #35 1:8

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 8:10AM

The box says stuff about random autos too. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

K · May 28, 2009 9:10AM

There are a bunch rangeing in odds from 1:346 to 1:22866

Speak of the devil...

1990 Topps #570 PSA 10

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 10:28AM

Dude, am I crazy or is this the 7th 1990 Topps PSA 10 this guy has sold in the last two months?

tunahead08 · May 28, 2009 10:54AM

I think they may have all been different certs, I just checked the one that ended 5-26 and it was one number higher than the current one for auction.

tunahead08 · May 28, 2009 10:55AM

One that ended 4-26 was a similar cert # but ended in 384. So he must have subbed a batch of nice 1990 Topps Ripken's. That or there are low 10's and he got a grader that was being nice

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 12:49PM

I've checked them in the past and they have been all different certs. It's just amazing on how many he has.

K · May 28, 2009 7:34PM

The one I got was 14704384, the last one I saw in the completed listings tab was 14704387, and the one listed now is 14704386.

jeffcbay · May 28, 2009 10:01PM

I'm still planning on bumping this up to the main page at noon ET. Getting the itch!

lsutigers1973 · May 28, 2009 10:37PM

Maybe this will help:

I'm pumped, but I also have a quick question. I'm a rookie to the group rip with BBCE. When I do send payment, which I will do thru paypal, what do I need to reference so they make sure to get my payment applied for this rip?

jeffcbay · May 29, 2009 2:56AM

Mention this is for the CU Group Rip

Include your CU screen name with your payment.

tunahead08 · May 29, 2009 2:59AM

Well didn't get the mail I was hoping for today, so I will post this scannage, because I've always liked the card and it was in the to scan pile. Not sure why I like it so much, maybe it's because we get to see a more casual side of Cal, chillin' with his dog, or maybe it's because I always wonder where he got that god-awful shirt.

jeffcbay · May 29, 2009 3:12AM

Always a great card! Nice in 10!

EDIT: 600 ((flex))
