Walt, I got to hand it to you, you have to be one of the most optimistic collectors I know on this product. As always, I'm in, but just hope they get it together for the 65-69 years. That gives them 3 years, hmmm...

<< <i>Sounds like the run of 2012 could be less than previous years, any thoughts? >>
What would make you think this?
Sluggish orders would be the only thing that would keep the print run conservative.
They start acquiring and manufacturing inserts and autographs at the beginning of the production process. When orders are less than expected, they still put in all the inserts and autographs giving the pack buster more "value."
Look at 08 high numbered edition. There are 4-5 autographs per case becuase pre orders were awful. In that product most of the autographs stink so it doesn't much matter but that is what happens when orders don't meet expectations.
Topps can help things along by doing a good job with the autograph and insert checklist like they did with last year's Heritage. I think all of us can agree 2011 Topps Heritage was a step in the right direction and hopefully that momentum continues.

Well, I was thinking that since they were seeding more chromes per box, then there would be less boxes (since we do know there will be 1963 of each chrome). This may be a wrong way of looking at it. Another way to say it is, if orders are low then they got to stuff the subsets a little heavier. My local card shop has not placed their order yet, a bit early I guess. When I was in Denver (the past year) I ran into a card shop owner who used to have pretty lively conversations with a friend of his from Topps. They know they have issues with the product line, but it sounded like there wasn't a solid plan to turn things around. I guess I am saying the same thing as your 08 example.
I wish they would clean up the photos on a consistent basis, a lot were nice, but a lot are horrible too, blurry, low in color contrast, etc. I'm a fan of the glossier look. Hell, I have original 60's stuff that looks better than what Topps has produced recently. I have opened dozen of boxes over the last 4-5 years, and am still waiting for that great pull. I never pulled any coins or top tier autos, no double relics, never a red auto, and only 1 of the super SP's. The product is just over produced (at least I think). As Walt indicates, there is still tons of 2011 at his Walmart and Target. Same here in San Antonio. I didn't think 2010 was a big improvement from previous years, but yes a step in the right direction.

It looks like a set that could be put together, not like the stamps.
I will have to go back and look, were these replacing the news flashbacks? (that would be a good thing)
Just checked, looks like the news flashbacks are here to stay.....

<< <i>Ya, same here. Just came back from the military exchange. >>
I never thought about PX/BXs having cards. Is there a problem with pack searchers there as well, or are the collectors way more polite than at Target & Wallyworld?

Thought I'd get a head start on who I could talk to about getting 1-3 boxes. I'll probably piece the rest together to finish the set.

Do any of you have any info. on the chrome set, or a link that I could go to where they would be listed?
I have always enjoyed putting the chromes together up until last year, as IMO, the player selection was
quite poor. Thanks for any help.
