2010 Topps Baseball Live Rip...

MULLINS5

OK, I was Target buying a new 4-slot toaster and picked up 20 packs of Topps Baseball...only thing is, I don't know a lot about modern baseball cards...so maybe you guys can help me out?

Here is what I'm doing: ripping one pack, putting the cards in sleeves, then scanning the cards...all while watching the Vikings game...go Vikings!

That '62 Mantle (CMT ... cards my mom threw out) sold for $4, $6 and $9 on eBay.

I think modern cards need more inserts.

I was just thinking the same thing. I wish they made packs with no inserts, way too much junk in this for me. I'll wait for the set.

put all the commons in the 4-slot toaster and do a live toasting.

That million card giveaway card is redeemable for a Topps card from years past.

Might be a Mantle, probably be a Sid Bream. But cool nonetheless.

I really like Topps' offering this year, so far.

And more Mickey Mantle cards. I really feel like this Yankee great has been underrepresented in most post-2005 Topps sets.

The base cards remind me of Looney Tunes. They should of had a Bugs Bunny or an Elmer Fudd insert.

The million card giveaway cards are going for $10+ on ebay, pretty crazy.

I've got a jumbo box coming this week. Last year, I basically got my base set for free last year, after selling off the inserts from my jumbo box. Hope to do the same this year.

Im seeing the release date for this is later in the week. Was it released early?

VintageCardLover

i found none at the local target today

the coolest thing about pic3: Aaron Poreda's dad is a drinking buddy of mine here in the Bay Area. (At Starbucks.)

Just retail, at Target, if you've got the itch.

ManOfSteal

Keep the rips coming. The brightness of those inserts is keeping me awake.

Mine was clean too. Lots of '09 stuff left over.

I work part time at our local Giant Eagle and they weren't in yet this morning at our store......not unusual since they usually get the cards after everyone else does.

Patrick, Did you rip the other 16 packs?

I put the O/U on Mantle inserts in those 16 remaining packs at 6.

So the MMTAMC redemptions are only for oversized cards, doesn't that mean the only cards you can get from them are early '50s Topps cards? Maybe that is why they are selling for $10+. Which Topps sets are oversized besides '52, '53, '54, '55 and '56?

alnavman

so are the other cards in packs???? does anyone have anything that describes this years product? I went to the Topps site and it's empty other than a picture of the new card design.

All the million card giveaway cards are redemptions. Topps bought 1 million of there old cards, and they can be redeemed onlinw witha code. There is at least 1 of card from 1952-presnt. Basically that averages to about 22 of each card. Probably will be a lot of 1980-present cards, and not much form the 1950's-70's. Will still a box of jumbos, still fun to open.

Like the base card design, but agreed way to many inserts!!

72skywalker

There are too many inserts. It makes them less special when every pack has an insert of some tiype in them. I bought a few packs on Saturday and pulled nice looking cards. Nothing that i will be able to sell on ebay and buy great things with but it is fun to open the packs. With all the searching that I hear gets done at Wal Mart and Target I figure that I will never get great things but maybe just some Yankees for my collection.

I also bought 10 packs from Target this morning.

Two of them there giveaways redemptions:



One interesting Card Your Mom Threw Out

[

Not sure how one's mom got this because it was supposedly never issued (or only by mistake)

And finally a relic card.

jeffcbay

What do the backs look like on the "Cards your Mom threw out"?

alnavman

here are some more scans....opened 10 packs....the backs of the cards mom threw out are also displayed per request....also thanks BigJohn for info on the 2010 Topps cards...al.

Is it a crap shoot on what Topps is going to send you on the give away?

alnavman

<< <i>Is it a crap shoot on what Topps is going to send you on the give away? >>



I'm sure they have a master list stored somewhere that matches up all the redemption codes with a card....so I guess you could say yes it is a crapshoot.....just have to hope you get one of the lucky redemption card numbers.

byronscott4ever

On the Gordon, if you find the article Darren Rovell wrote about it, the card is pictured and it says not to let your mom throw it out--maybe they took it from there? Or perhaps they are all cards that are valuable and so they thought they would use it again?

MULLINS5

hey guys, I ripped the remaining packs but got nothing to mention and was a little bummed with the Vikings loss last night

But.. I'm going back tonight to buy some more!
