    Good preview. Looks like it has a bit more juice than the past couple years. I like the blue frames and base card design.

    It's been confirmed by Topps on their Facebook that the Flora of the World (1:24 packs) cards will actually grow into the plant they depct if planted and properly cared for.

    Did anybody else's mind immediately picture this?

    Are those Manny cards his first issued trading card? In other words, are they a rookie?

    I wouldn't exactly say we got "stiffed" on the Strasburg in this set. Base set and routine mini run would have been nice, but the auto mini redemption was included.

    no we got totally stuffed on the Stras, you can only bend math so far, topps didn't know what was in the product, and I don't see how this year would be any

    That's not a Hope Solo red ink - just the regular redemption

    Love how the seller abbreviates redemption with the word red lol

    Just picked some up at my local Walmart. 6 haning 12 packs and 3 gravity. Rippage with scans to come.

    Update, noting too exciting. Scanner software doesnt play well with Windows 7 so i had to take pics. No hobby for me until Friday image

    My guess is these are code cards?

    I though this guy was cool!

    I like the binder idea but I am not sure it will fit an entire master set.

    I busted 8 boxes today. I am not sure if I did ok until a few auctions yield some results. I pulled only two autographs..yes two...one topps employee auto
    and one auto of a food guy, I thought I have pulled McEnroe autograph until I pulled a second one and then saw that they were redemptions for relics...uggg.
    One rip card of Bumgarner. There is a mini set called fabulous Face.....I only pulled one. I also pulled a seed card which you can plant and blah blah blah.

    If anyone needs anything let me know, I need any Ryan Howard.

    Thanks

    Just ripped my 1st of 4 boxes

    Adrian Gonzalez bat
    Todd Helton jersey w/stripe
    Adrian Beltre jersey

    don't know much about the minis yet. Just that I got 2 SP minis.

    I like that Binder idea - gonna have to pick up a couple of those. Sure would be nice if they made those for the earlier years.


    off to the next one

    yeah that really sucks, and most of the champion autos are redemptions. This would be a good year to buy a few boxes, make some trades and move on. The Bum
    is on ebay with a huge BIN, if it doesn't sell who knows, I might rip it. Last year there was a guy from Hawaii buying the EXT minis for big money.

    Who is trading?

    I bought some packs last year during Strasburg mania and got a Sig Hansen redemption card. I ended up redeaming it on the Topps website and a few months later I got a signed card in the mail.

    Maybe some of the redemption cards this year will turn out the same.

    If anyone pulls a Shawn Michaels please post a scan.


    Good luck with your boxes.

    Just noticed a Manny Pacquiao Auto listed on eBay. It's definitely listed to field offers and it'll be interesting to see what it goes for.

    Edited for updated info: Two others sold for $575 and $750

    I am starting to get negative vibes about this. After reading some of the case rips here and on Blowout, bad QC and not many big hits. But that means that big hit is out there for me! Is it tomorrow yet?

    Wow, I was about to head out of work in 15-20 minutes and head to my LCS to buy 3-4 boxes! I went last night, but some UPS delay made it so their cases would arrive until today.

    Well, after reading the posts here... 2 auto's in 8 boxes, zep getting 1 auto so far in what... 4 or 5 boxes... pathetic.

    Think I might just save my money. Don't really care about relic cards, and at $80+ a box... simply not worth it with slim hitting like that image
