    I'll have mine on Monday. Hopefully you guys cleaned up on the Mike Fiers and I'll come up with the King Felix, Mike Trout, and Andrew McCutchens of the world. I somehow don't see it working out that way though.

    Should have mine mid next week... Hope to put together 1 set and have a couple gradable Mike Trouts. Definitely look forward to some trade potential!

    FYI

    Here is an excel sheet I put together with projected set print run.

    The auto print run for each player as found on ebay listings
    Currently at 4656 base autos with 8 players missing.
    There is also 429 SSP autos (39 players with black to 10 ea and red to 1 ea.)
    Grand total of 5085 autos.

    If each of the 8 players missing have a print run of 50 (none on ebay yet so may be sp's) making 400 more autos
    our total becomes 5485 or approx. 550 non auto base sets.

    The Machado or Skaggs rookie cards may be worth picking up.

  • Ah, nothing like flooding the set with some autos from 27 year old pitchers who are basically AAAA players. Total Topps move.


    At least Hutchison and Archer are still promising prospects, though.

    A shameful Ebay plug but I have a few on your list on Ebay atm
  • BasiloneBasilone Posts: 2,492 ✭✭
    Sticker autos in this product right?
  • fur72fur72 Posts: 2,348 ✭✭
    Wow I didnt even know they were shipping. I got in on the presale and havent heard a peep that they would be shipping. I am having mixed feelings seeing these rips.
  • totallyraddtotallyradd Posts: 943 ✭✭✭✭
    Just got mine in the mail. Pulled the following autos

    Weeks 5/10
    Amarista 24/32
    Fiers 498/689
    Archer 216/689
    Archer 385/689

    I have 5 more packs coming this week. Hope I get more of the base cards I need, and would love to trade my dupes with someone else.
  • fur72fur72 Posts: 2,348 ✭✭
    Well they came today. To rip or not to rip. If i get 5 high number autographs I will be ticked! Going to decide after dinner.

  • totallyraddtotallyradd Posts: 943 ✭✭✭✭
    I was in the same boat. I say go for it, the base cards are pretty nice. Good luck!
  • totallyraddtotallyradd Posts: 943 ✭✭✭✭
    I can see how buying new packs becomes addictive

    Any idea what this might bring in if I put it up on the Bay?

    << <i>Well they came today. To rip or not to rip. If i get 5 high number autographs I will be ticked! Going to decide after dinner. >>



    There are 5 high number cards that are 30-1 over other autos.

    Out of 43 autos you can get 150 (30x5) high numbers and 1 each of the low numbers (38).

    38 out of 188

    So approx. 1 in 4.5 boxes will have low number auto.

    I hit 3 out of 10
    totallyradd 2 out of 5
    al032184 4 out of 20


    That is 9 out of 35


    Tough call, I have 5 more coming and thinking same way.
    I might just keep them sealed.

    Joe

  • fur72fur72 Posts: 2,348 ✭✭
    Mixed emotions on this one. 5 boxes, two of the same high number autos but two printing plates. The Colvin is numbered /29. I wish the card stock was the same as the 2005 - 2006 Turkey red.

  • 08HALA2008HALA20 Posts: 3,066 ✭✭✭
    There are still 6 players not to show up on ebay yet.

    Cabrera, Skaggs, Cespedes, Gose, Upton, and Parker

    I think only 1 Trout and 1 Darvish both #rd to 10

    If its numbered to 10 my guess is between $50 and $70.
  • 08HALA2008HALA20 Posts: 3,066 ✭✭✭
    Nice you got 2 printing plates.

    These cards would have been real nice with on card autos.
    But even the stickers look good on these cards.

    Joe

  • I havent received a shipping notification for the second batch. Anyone get one yet? Whats the hold up? I got my initial 5 today. I am gonna wait to open them.

    So who's looking to trade this stuff to complete sets???

    I saw UPS dropped my 20 boxes off this afternoon... ran home from work real quick, ripped them, and headed straight back to work!

    I'll be posting my needs and haves later tonight.

    I didn't pull a Trout auto, which was really the only one I was interested in, so I'll probably put all the auto's on eBay.

    I think I got maybe 3-4 regular auto's numbered under 100, then I got 2-3 each of the high number autos.

    I did pull 2 black border auto's #/10... Trevor Bauer and I forget the other

    I also pulled 2 printing plates... Aroldis Chapman and I forget the other

    I'll post scans of my "hits" along with my lists later today.

    Good stuff!!! Fun rip!!!
  • epatmythesepatmythes Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭
    I'm looking for just 1 card... #29 Yadier Molina

    Have probably 70 unique extras to trade

    My main hits...

    image
  • So 20 boxes, no complete set is that common around here? I'm really hacked off.

    Also I got the Twins spare Diamond 5 times and the other spare Archer 5 times and their little buddy the Miami Marlin 3 times.

    Two decent autos - Neimann #ed 30/48 and Skaggs #ed 9/10. And a Yonder Alonso Printing Plate. I want to throw this stuff at someone....really crappy collation. Thanks...

    I got a complete set... I just happened to drop the only #29 Molina I got when I was sorting the cards and I trashed a corner image

    I did pick one up on eBay for $4 shipped... so I'm good!
  • scmavlscmavl Posts: 1,409 ✭✭✭
    I was really bummed that these sold out twice before I could get any. However after seeing what everyone pulled, I don't feel so bad. Bummer on the coalition, fellas.
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.

    Nice pull on the Skaggs!
  • 20 boxes and no complete set....man that really gets to me. I can deal with the cruddy auto's, but all I do is shake my head when out of 199 base cards you can't get 100 different. Anyways would love to do some trading to get this knocked out:

    Base Set 1: 16, 28, 30, 34, 44, 51, 61, 77, and 92

    Base Set 2: 11, 16, 21-23, 27-32, 34, 35, 40, 43, 44, 48, 51, 54-56, 61-63, 77, 83, 84, 87, 91-93, 95, and 100

    Would also trade for any of the base Rangers: 48, 62, or 73

    Here's my trade list: 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 19 x3, 24, 26 x3, 33, 37, 45, 47, 49, 52, 53, 57, 58, 64, 68, 71 x2, 76, 80, 81, 82, 85, 88, 90 x2, 96, and 98

    I just checked the Topps site and these boxes are live again at $24.95 a box. I thought about getting some but after seeing the results you guys are having I think I'll pass.

  • I sold 5 boxes for $185 shipped. I rarely make the right decision of whether or not to open. For once I think I did. This stuff is awful.

    << <i>I sold 5 boxes for $185 shipped. I rarely make the right decision of whether or not to open. For once I think I did. This stuff is awful. >>



    Does the quality/quantity ratio of the 1 autograph per box suck? It sure does!

    Does it suck for the money being charged per box from Topps? Not really!

    Is it a really good looking product, for the price? I think so!

    Is this product, as you put it, awful? Far, far, far from it!!!

    I don't have the budget to go busting uber product (IE. the $50-$500 boxes of 10 cards or less)... so I can't speak from experience in that arena... but 2013 Turkey Red, for a modestly priced semi-premium product, is probably the best product I've busted as a buyer/collector/seller in several years. I thought the online exclusive of Topps Mini last year was hot... this has been way better.

    I bought 20 boxes for $399.80 delivered from the pre-sale. In the 36 hours since I received them and busted all 20 boxes, I have...

    1) Put together a complete 100 card base set for my collection
    2) Given a couple cards away to help others with their sets
    3) Listed my "big" hits (IE. printing plates & black border au's) and most of my duplicate base cards on eBay
    3a) To date, with auctions that will end with bid(s) and/or BIN purchases, I have grossed just over $300 in sales with a net of roughly $240 after fees & shipping
    3b) I've had no shortage of buyers willing to spend $2.99 to $15.99 for single base cards

    I have not even attempted to sell my base autographs yet... and as for my base cards, I listed them all as 3 day auctions w/ BIN option... what doesn't sell (in addition to my triples which I didn't list) will be posted for sale on Sportlots as soon as they add Turkey Red to their available set inventory.

    At this rate, I should easily make my money back... plus some... and have a complete set for my personal collection! And I didn't even score one of the really good hits!!!

    I don't know about you, but I don't find that success with a new product release very often... I'd hardly call that awful.
  • I'm not a high end box breaker by any means...was just my opinion. Its good to see so many people interested in it. There's obviously a market for it based on Topps selling out the pre-sale, and people coming close to paying double for the boxes. I don't think the original price of $19.99 is horrible...I just see the product as a perfect "sticker dump" vehicle for Topps. I guess if people are willing to spend $19.99 on flagship Topps blasters where you have little to no chance at an auto...this product seems like a slam dunk.

    I bought 6 boxes...opened one. Wasn't feeling it, and sold the rest.

    Also...if new product "success" means being able to collect it for free, or sell it off for a profit. I 100% agree. The topps on-line exclusives have been awesome. Profit to be made on the last 3 for sure. Heritage High Number, Mini's, and Turkey Red. The formula has worked...low end cards, limited production, not available in stores, toss in a autograph checklist where 90% of them are garbage...and BINGO!

    Here is print run for the autos.

    Joe

  • epatmythesepatmythes Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭
    Those numbers are almost perfect... However...

    There were also 400 printing plates, which means that approximately 400 boxes only contained 9 base cards... bringing the number of possible sets down to 518 (and 1/2).

    Unless Topps releases the true numbers, which I doubt they ever will... we have to remember that they always hold some cards back for damage replacements, missing hits, promotions, etc.

    I'm guessing the real number of boxes sold was probably 5100... not 5225... which works out perfectly if they held back 1 each of the Black Bordered autos & 2 each of the regular autos... since they don't/can't hold back 1/1's.

    So, with 400 printing plates... and perfect base card allocation... that would mean exactly 470 possible sets in existence!
  • I was wondering if anyone has been in all 6 sets of Turkey Red...

    Jeter is the only one I can think of. King Felix maybe? I believe had Michael Young been in the 2013 set he would have made all 6, same for Arod.

    Your math is off, if the total print run of sets is 5,225 -- then the total number of sets is 53. Remember there are 100 cards in a set and you divide the number by 100 (or in easier terms, just remove the final two numbers).

    My suspicion is that there will be about 50-60 base cards of each player and that means the base cards are in far shorter supply then the Scott Diamond autographs (the one I pulled)

    Regards
    Rich
    Plano, Tx. Card Show #5, Sunday March 6, 2016 at Adat Chaverim (Northeast Corner Independence and Spring Creek) in Plano Tx 9Am to 4 PM. See you there!

    The AUTOGRAPHS add up to 5,225. The pool of base cards would be ten times that number (52,250) minus 400 printing plates. That's the figure that gets divided by 100 and results in a production run just north of 500 sets.

    Thanks to Eric, aka epatmythes for a #30 for my sets today.

    Also arrived were my 7 boxes which will be my last of the product. My goal was to get enough to get a complete set (I thought 27 would do it, and might get me two, but sadly left me 1 card short of 1 set). Would love to trade for the following cards below and that includes autos for base....

    Here is what I still need:
    2013 TOPPS TURKEY RED (SET 1): 28 - Ryan Zimmerman
    2013 TOPPS TURKEY RED (SET 2): 11, 16, 23, 28, 30, 34, 43, 44, 51, 54, 61, 77, 87, 92, 95, and 100

    I wouldn't also mind picking up another one of the 3 Rangers: 48 - Beltre, 62 - Kinsler, or 73 - Darvish

    Here's what I have:
    2013 Topps Turkey Red Dupes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 x2, 9, 10 x2, 12, 13, 14 x2, 15, 18, 19 x4, 24 x2, 25, 26 x4, 33 x2 ,37 x2, 41, 42, 45 x2, 46, 47 x2, 49 x2, 50, 52, 53, 57 x2, 58, 59, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68 x2, 71 x3, 72, 74, 75, 76, 78, 79, 80 x2, 81, 82 x2, 85, 86, 88 x2, 90 x2, 94, 96, 97, and 98
    Autos:
    Tyler Skaggs - Diamondbacks (Brown Border) #ed 9/10
    Alcides Escobar - Royals #ed 20/20
    Jeff Niemann - Rays #ed to 48 x2
    Jerry Sands - Red Sox #ed 110/139

    What I want to do with the rest is try and make some money back (what I don't trade). In you guys opinions what would be the best thing to do with my extras which will be my triplicates. Sell individually? Make team sets? Sell the autos individually? Any strategy there? $.99 cent 7 day auctions and let 'em ride? BINs? Thanks in advance for any opinions, cards, and trades ahead of time.

    Amazing. I just went through my dupes to see if I had anything for Matt. I dont have any of your dupes Matt sorry. But I do have triples of mutiple cards. I only bough 5 boxes, how the heck does that happen?

    Matt I would take what you have left over after trades and do like you said. Seven day .99 auction. There are going to be alot of people trying to put this set together. If 27 boxes wont make a set I doubt 30 will. Secondary market will be nice to these cards.
