Any 2010 Topps Variations to look for?

I was wondering if anyone knows of any 2010 topps variations. A card store owner in my area said that he received an email from Topps that said to watch out for "The pie in the face" variations. I have no idea what that was about. He did show me the email and I could not make sense of what they meant.
Thanks,
Bob

There's also a Curtis Granderson in a Yankees uniform, and the HOFers like they did last year.
Only an idiot would have a message board signature.
Guess I'm just cranky that I now will need to fork out more money just to keep my sets up to date. Arrrgggghhhhh.................

They did.
It's the one picturing the Chicago Cubs outfielders.
<< <i>God I hate this variation crap that companies do. If you're going to do variations, then make them available at a very high rate (E.G. just as good an odds of getting the variation as the original), or include both the original AND the variation in the factory sets. As someone who tries to complete the base sets each and every year from Topps, the inclusions of fifty different versions of cards does nothing but cost me money. (As I don't put together sets via the pack-ripping method, so Topps doesn't get any extra money out of me by including these stupid variations).

I couldn't say it any better. As a collector it is becoming impossible to put sets together. As it is now, I have gone from 5-6 sets each year down to 2.
To be honest, no direction, but...

<< <i>Any idea what the odds are on these cards? I think the pie cards are the most "rare". Out of my jumbo case I pulled 3 of these cards, almost missed the Granderson in the Yankees uniform until I sorted the box and discovered I had 2 #222 cards with different photos. No Pie cards for me, just HOFers. I'm not a big Yankees fan so I won't be chasing these pie variations. >>
I think the Pie cards fall about 1/case -- but they seem to be distributed randomly. Some people I know got Pie cards out of the cases they bought from certain dealers, while other dealers cases seemed to be Pie free. So there was probably a short run of Pie cases/blasters and then a normal run without those. As far as SPs, I opened two cases and got 6 SPs (5 Old Players and 1 Granderson).

That's exactly why I quit putting sets together -- back in 1992!! Plus I ran out of room in the little place we lived in back then. Now I'm focused on completing my '62T Registry Set...
<< <i>I have a Alex Gordan RC reprint (not the cards your mother threw out version) that is apparently a SP and looks to sell for about $5 on Ebay >>
All the cards that "Your Mother Threw Away" were issued with original backs and appear to be approximately one per box. so $5 on the Gordon back seems to be a reasonable price for a one per box card. I got a Mike Piazza from the box I opened.

<< <i>I would wait a few month for the hype to die down and then pick them up cheaper on ebay. A few years ago i bought the 2007 Derek Jeter card w/Bush and Mantle from a dealer for $2.00. 2 days later the story broke and the card became hot. I sold it on ebay for $50.00 and waited a year and picked it back up again for $5.00. >>
I pulled one from a blaster. Held on to it too long and sold it for a few bucks.
<< <i>one variation i noticed was from the "continuity" set, these cards are exclusive to the single pack buys(not blaster boxes) at target and walmart, if theres another store , i dont know,,, the "redbacks" i got at target and the "blue backs" i got at walmart,,, bj
... and just because collecting the minis isn't hard enough, the red and blue are completely different sets. So if you want a hard set to build, try collecting all 45 blues and all 45 reds!!

It seems doubtful that it would be corrected (no opening day factory sets), maybe I'm missing something.
Collecting Robin Ventura and Matt Luke.
<< <i>Beckett on Abe card >>
After going through my approximately 2000 base cards, I only found four Milton Bradley cards, and they were all non-Abe. I felt that I should have had more than four MBs for some reason. Oh well...
weird.

<< <i>if one was to have one of the Bradley's per say, what would be the best avenue to currently achieve the highest profit margin? Since there is one auction ending in 4 days at 61.00 would it be wise to do a 3 day auction, or 7 day?? Just curious on others thoughts >>
I would go with a 3 day auction and don't look back... this is like found money!
Out of the ~4800 base cards I have:
0 pies
8 HOF SP
1 Granderson
0 Moras
0 Abes

sounds like you busted almost exclusively hobby.
I've got three moras, still sifting through the stacks for abes and one sp (out of retail) no pies or grandersons. About 85% of mine are retail. Probably about 2500 base cards.
So far this year's Topps have given me:
2 pies (Cano and Teixeira)
2 HOF SP (Jackson and Young)
0 Granderson
0 Moras
1 Abe (Colvin)
Not bad at all!!
I got an Alex Rodriguez world series bat auto 13/50...guess that is gonna have to make my millenium!
Abe Bradley
Pedroia auto
Looks like first sale 149.00!
mine will be the first auction to end (spam-a-lot) I did it as a 3 day auction
Got a sweet deal on a case of Series 2 jumbos on an ebay auction pre-sale. So the "trading card budget" is at zero which means no more series 1 packs. It looks like I'm offically out of the "abe" hunt
On a side note, I now have series 1 cubs sets put together if there's any interest. lol.
