ok you guys are sucking me in... anyone know of any good places to buy a few boxes... I see ebay has several selling in the $70 + shipping and several buy it nows for around $85-90.
Is it too early to figure out print runs? Based on the plate odds, the cloth odds and the wood odds, there appear to be 1,345,400 hobby packs. About the same number of retail packs....giving us 11 cuts in the hobby and 9 in retail.
With those numbers the group A autos are around 135 each. Not that many.
Some nice looking cards & some great pulls guys. I got my tracking # today from Larry Roselli, says it shipped yesterday. I can't wait to start rippage.
What's the general consensus on the rip cards? Rip or no?

Who's the Sizemore collector again? I just pulled the Mini Exclusive out of my Rowand Rip card. I hope you can use it as part of a trade or something!
Shoot me a PM to let me know and I'll put it aside if you want it.

kshorton says: i gots an Empire State Building card... seeking advice.. is this better and worth more than my psa 3 franco harris 1973 topps card which i defouled by trying to make a baby with ? Please advise. the franco card is graded.. the ESB card is not yet, and I do not want to have a baby with the ESB card.
<< <i> - [Open mini-rant] Topps seems to be really, really stretching the definition of "World's Champions" for the non baseball cards. I think I've pulled two different rugby players (neither of whom seem to have won any World Championship), an air guitarist (huh?), the hotdog guy (which was cool the first time around), someone who scored a perfect score in Pacman, a fisherman, an arm-wrestler, a sled-dog guy, and I'm sure there are more. Mark Spitz, absolutely a World Champion - great idea. Monet, Hickok, Tchaikovsky, Dickens, and Franklin - sure, neat cards of famous people. A skateboarder? That may be taking it too far. [Close mini-rant]

Why is being a skateboarding champion any less deserving than a fisherman or a eating champion? Not sure why you would include him as "taking it too far". Maybe some older guys or people that don't follow skateboarding don't know about him, but Stevie Williams is idolized by millions of kids, the best at what he does, and the founder and owner of a skate clothing line that is partnered with Reebok. He's accomplished a lot more than some stupid air guitarist.
anyone see the Wright case topper autos? They look like advertisement but are autoed by Wright....I wonder how many of them will be thrown away, after all they are folded up like the box toppers they had in every box back in 2006!
By the way, I am convinced that the SP is the card right before the state insert. Well actually the mini is on top of the state insert, so its the card on top of the mini - usually about the 4th card in. and i think most of the high #s are the sp's, like last year.
i only opened 4 boxes out of a case so far and just had to order another case, got a rip card and red bazooka back so far as the best ones, lots of gu stuff i want something good lol ,back to drinking,watching criss angel,and opening this case, had to get up and pee so i thought id check in mom is there anyplace that has the odds on some of this stuff online like sharks/the crack year toad and stuff like that and the sp's? i love you guys, group hug lol ihave not got one card over 350 yet or a no #ered one, so i guess they are really tough!!!! got a tiger shark im going to look for mary shelley/brahm stoker,and wild bill ttm too lol-maybe thier relatives?? rube the drunken
OK i got 3 rip cards 4 auto's 2 no number mini. 1 bazooka 3 sharks 3 airplane thing cards 1 world icon 5 world champion cards. a bunch of jersey cards. in 10 boxes.
my question if anyone can answer this for me as i am dying to rip one of my rip cards. is there anything in there besides the 50 extra mini cards? like are the dna cards in there or some kind of special other card you could get?

I've got my F*kudome on ebay right now. I have to be honest, buying this box today was a splurge (hope that's spelled right). I can't really trade, gotta sell. Sorry. For some reason I feel really guilty for listing that and the fact that I'm going to be selling most from the box. Don't know why I'm ranting.
You might of done better than that now, in a month of so that might turn out to be a fair value...there is one thing I have learned with A&G...many people will pay whatever they need to to get the card they want. I also let a few of my rarer cards ride with high BIN's just to see if I can get a bite. The group A autos which in the last have compared to the group C autos, are a bit rarer than we are used to.
sorry scans so small the autos are buchholtz kinsler carmona and the girl. no numbers are lee and nathan bazooka is cuddyer. printing plate is f rod from angeles.
<< <i>Are there any SP autos in the set? I looked on topps website for their checklist, and see the framed autos, but don't see any listed as being SP? >>
Group A autos are SP'ed there are a bunch..around 135 each according to my bad math. Group C autos are plentiful!
Ok, i found it...anyone know if there are the same amount of each in the same group? IE if it is group A, does that mean that all the cards in "group A" have xx copies?

So if I've counted right, out of a total of 58 autos, 41 are Group A, 9 are Group B and 8 are Group C. Wow, that's a lot of SPed autos. That explains the high percentage of Group As that have been pulled by board members.
