Just bought and ripped a pack. I normally don't rip or purchase packs but I saw them today and couldn't resist. I will post scans of my rippage in a few...

    I would consider a box or two if they stopped the multiple series, update, and like sets. Put all the cards in one series and put the updates back in set format only. I know I am not their target so they would be foolish to listen to me, but the Topps set use to be a nice small project, now it seems more a commitment. image

    I agree, I loved the traded set in set form. Then they started adding one RC auto per set and that was a great idea. I wish they would of added 1 Chrome refractor per Chrome Traded set. That would of been awesome. Imagine the likes of a Miggy Chrome Traded refractor, or Sabathia. I believe if Topps would of done the 1 refractor per Traded set, some would of become staples in the hobby. As in top 25 in the modern era.

    Mike,

    This was meant for your box.

    Just ripped 3 jumbo boxes... haven't sorted anything out yet... but I did come across one of the SSP variations.

    Mike Leake #308 (at the top of the dugout acting like he's going to fight the mascot)

    As for hits, nothing special

    2 thick WS pin cards: Paul Molitor & Tim Lincecum
    1 thick Retired Ring card: Frank Robinson

    3 Autos: Chris Sale, Madison Bumgarner & Matt Garza

    3 GU Jersey Cards: Stephen Strasburg, Don Mattingly & Adam Dunn

    I also pulled 1 of the black/blue/grey? parallels... David Price 61/61

    No rally squirrel, no Pujols & no Reyes... oh well.

    First, I need to say - The new Van Halen CD kicks ass!!

    Made it through the hobby box so far. All sorted. Only 1 double in the box (not a variation) and 1 double that was a variation (pie face)

    no auto, just a GU

    here are a few scans of the inserts and stuff

    I was wondering the same thing when I got my thick hits!

    PS - That Mantle ring is selling for some decent cash on eBay... well, decent for what it is!

    Hi Mike

    The Mantle card is killer! Sweet.

    Thanx for the welcome back BTW!

  • epatmythesepatmythes Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭
    Okay, finally got around to sorting through the cards... and the hunt for variations is on!

    Bad thing about scanning over each card to look for variations...

    Yo Topps... the Melky Cabrera card... you couldn't airbrush that out???

    I don't use photobucket, so maybe someone else will be inclined to post a scan... albeit, not sure why anyone would want to see it... but let's just say, there is a rare C3P0 card of the same nature!
  • matthewbschultz83matthewbschultz83 Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭
    There appear to be 20 variations and then the Pujols/Reyes new team cards.


    Linkage with pictures and a checklist of all the variations

    And the info from trusty Baseball Cardpedia

    I pulled a Leak variation in one of my boxes today. Looking for others. I also pulled these 2 bad boys:

    As well as a Jordan Zimmerman auto, a CarGo jersey swatch (w/purple stripe), and a Buster Posey jersey card.

    I normally only buy vintage cards, but something came over me when I went to the card shop today, and decided to splurge and bought 4 hobby boxes. Last time I ever do that. Not one single auto card, only 1 serial #'d card, and the biggest name relic card I got was Jason Werth. I guess you win some and lose some, but I think I will stick with the vintage stuff from now on.

    On some example? Have you seen a corrected version?

    I have 4 Jeter's... all 4 have the 3B 3B error.

    What's the deal with the Lackey rainbow card? Is this a confirmed SP or just a printing flaw? I'd be curious to the code numbers on the bottom of that card (already emailed a seller on ebay). Much like with the 2011 Topps Heritage Green Tints and the 2011 Topps Sparkle cards they have different code #s than their base counterparts.

    If you look at the backs of the non-pitcher cards, about half of them have the 3b 3b error. Mantle #7 is like that too, but there are a lot of others as well.

    There is a second rainbow Lackey card on ebay now and it is exactly the same as the first one so maybe it's not a print defect. I'll see if I can get the seller to look at the code. Did you go to Triple Cards in Plano yesterday?

    Beckett sells cards for clients. I've never done it before myself, but it's my understanding that the commission is pretty high. They advertise the auctions on Beckett.com though so that helps.

    Again confused on so many levels. BGS knows thats Gem Mint and Pristine bring top dollar so why would they give cards a 9 when they know they are going to auction it. They will make a higher commision being a 9.5 or 10. BGS is so backwards

    Dear matthewbschultz,

    CODE#36212101


    - anita_2959

    That's what the seller of the 'rainbow' Lackey card emailed me. That's the code on every other one of my regular ol' base cards. This is not a SP. Perhaps some sort of printing flaw or a seller trying to pull a fast one.
