stopped by 3 targets…nothing. Walmart still has jumbos only. reports of pulls still show limited chase cards. some are only getting a blue border after 4 packs. topps has a great model going. by the time they roll out blasters, they'll have shoved out a decent amount of base cards through the jumbos. Hobby box prices have been ticking up while supply is dwindling according to several forum posts around the country. Not surprising since many say this is their favorite design and year for topps.
To the fellow boilermaker yes the logos are on par with the color variation of 2012 and the gray color variation of last year. The action variations of 2014 are on par with the 2012 image swap and the 2013 action variation.
<< <i> Craig I heard the big Heritage players who usually go for this stuff are showing unusual restraint this year >>
I know I am. I'm down from three cases last year and as many as ten cases just a few years ago to one case this year. Heritage is still my favorite set by far, but the resale value is not there anymore. And the two cards I want most out of this set are apparently not in the set or are crazy rare...Bret Saberhagan and Bo jackson auto. Not one single example of either has shown up for sale yet.
thanks for the info on the logo variations.......went out this morning to Kmart and Target and still no product ...... guess I'll try the walmart near me.......
So I ripped my first box today and I pulled a Frank Robinson auto/relic redemption card. Ive never gotten one before so my question is- is there only one type they send you? Do u have a chance at getting a rare card or are they all the same? Also i plan on selling either way is it better to sell now or recieve the card first?
There are 25 of the Frank Robinson Flashback Autograph Relic cards. They are all the same although a fraction of the collectors out there will pay a little more for one if it is numbered 01/25, 25/25, or the player's jersey number. If you are a Frank Robinson fan, redeem the card. If not, I'd sell it without redeeming it now on eBay and you should get over twice your money back on the box you purchased. Nice pull!
It is indeed Bourjos/PIRATES' Rookies/Rusin. Thanks for the correction and the additional panel. Now at 29 panels, there is probably one more out there.
Just opened 2 of my final 6 boxes and got the first one of the gold embossed cards I've seen come out of a pack. I thought they were just box toppers but this is small enough to fit in a pack
I heard that the print run is 15. They can also be found in retail and since retail is not in full force yet, that is why these cards are extremely rare to see on eBay. Congratulations on pulling the Darvish -- you should get quite a bit for it I imagine. Put an extremely high Buy It Now with a best offer and hope someone gives you an offer you can't refuse!

there are 15 cards at 1:14,667, so at 2.2M total print run (has anyone confirmed otherwise…this is based on mini odds) that puts it at 10 per player…back of the envelope
After I hit send, it dawned on me to check the odds on my retail wrapper…sure enough. Different for Retail at 1:7,250 vs. Hobby at 1:14,667. That puts retail at 12 & hobby at 4…so maybe taking rounding into consideration it comes out to 15.
Went to 2 Walmarts and a Target today...only had rack packs, no blisters or blasters. Something doesn't add up. 3 weeks past the release date and nothing but rack packs. Last year I saw blasters and blister packs 2 days BEFORE the scheduled release date. I don't think it is Topps but I think it could be someone in the distribution end reselling the boxes for a premium before they even get to the warehouses and the stores. It's just odd.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
<< <i>It is indeed Bourjos/PIRATES' Rookies/Rusin. Thanks for the correction and the additional panel. Now at 29 panels, there is probably one more out there. >>
I have a Weaver/Mariners' Rookies/Estrada panel. That makes 30!
Waiting on blasters at the local Target. I have 4 coupons from Topps Series 1 blasters that save me $5 a box on Heritage. Can't beat $60 for 4 blasters.
Only a few rack packs in two Targets here in central NJ. I saw them installing the wall hanging box with all the single packs in it. But I am waiting for blasters.

Nice Rice. I got the harper and jeter actions as well. Actually 2 jeters and one was well centered and one like yours. So not only does topps make the actions sp but a centered one is ssp...
Picked up my first box at the White Plains card show today.
I like the feel and look of these cards better than 2013 Heritage. Half way through the box - not super impressed by the centering.
I still have yet to pull a ROA - 3 boxes in now. My hit was a Drew Stubbs Clubhouse Collection =/
Have pulled 2 Base Chrome and 1 Refractor Chrome.
I purchased the base from another collector's box on Blowout as well... will likely buy one more box and then see what I need for the set.
I have 80/500 from 2013 signed... I think I may try to work on getting the 2014 set signed as well. As I said, I really like the design and feel of these cards.
Guys if any one pulls a Rice auto that would consider selling it please pm me. I see Mike just pulled one but he is a Sox fan I don't see him selling it.
<< <i>Nice box! How many regular set SPs and chromes have you been averaging per box? >>

Found retail at Target in San Antonio, but the pack molesters already went through them. I bought 18 packs from gravity box and nothing but some damaged fingernailed cards. My bad,but was just hoping.
