JFK relic!

ohhhh some background!

I bet everyone who rightfully complained about the omission of the wood mini 1/1's last year will buy again this year.

If you really wanted to prove your point, DO NOT BUY Ginter.

What mindless addicted sheep we are..

That just kills a branch of the line.

You don't buy Topps in general. sadly, it wouldn't do much considering how hard the presses are working these days.

if they get VJ in it, i will buy some

Haha - saw you put this same one in Stadium Club... you need a little web macro to auto post to all the new BlowoutBuzz press releases. ;)

Get Topps attention to get some Vlad love before the fall!

These cards are beautiful! I got a case last year. May get 2 personal cases this year!

Also, any idea when pre-sell happens?

It looks like Ginter to me.

No Ginters here, chief!

[QUOTE=ThoseBackPages;14393718]ohhhh some background![/QUOTE]

Nice change

Topps is so slow with Ginter. Unlike UD and Goodwin

But they are finally realizing the value of putting 5 dollar objects in cards

Coins tokens fossils and pretend creatures

Hopefully it keeps going on this direction

We've gone round and round about what would breathe new life into ginter. None of that happened. It's the same set, re-skinned. The Presidential relics will draw interest, but everything but the best hits will be pretty much worthless. I'm a long time single case-breaker of Ginter and collector of each set to this point, but I will not be breaking this year and would hope that others who paid attention to the missing wood minis last year tread carefully...

The JFK relic looks great, Id love to see more presidential relics in this. I also really liked the sunken treasure coin cards last year but there needs to be more of them instead of a few total. The cards look great with the partial background, Im wondering how that will translate to the black ginter X set. Ginter is still one of the main products I look forward to every year and it was the first product I ever bought a full case of the first year it came out.

Topps sees that it sells ... when there's a big drop-off for whatever reason is when they re-tool and make dramatic changes.

Really like the design but hard to commit to a purchase after last year.

I hope so since that would mean he makes it in TC

I still have a Ginter Kennedy sweater mini from like 2006-07 somewhere.

Should be on site Monday or Tuesday, depending on who's on/off/holiday schedules/etc.

Do you have any examples of Topps retooling a product? Not doubting you, just curious what they did

[QUOTE=Soxfanguy;14398267]Do you have any examples of Topps retooling a product? Not doubting you, just curious what they did[/QUOTE]

If something tanks these days, they may just punt or use some stuff that was popular in a brand elsewhere. Stuff like National Chicle, Topps Lineage, Ticket to Stardom and Unique come to mind.


Museum Collection wasn't Museum Collection in its first year it was Topps Marquee. More of just a name change and some change in its feel. I'm sure there are others that have evolved some but it's also often slow in happening. I think punting happens more these days than dramatic changes. Gypsy Queen has had some interesting changes, for example, but still feels similar to what it is.

Ginter is still with us because it's popular.

Great! Thank You!

The photo on the Trout rip card is horrible. Looks like his eyes are closed.

Where is the wood?

They fixed it.

Put the smeared parts of the blue dress. People will buy it up.

I'm not buying any- only Flagship, Heritage and maybe Museum for me. As a base collector, I'm more concerned of Print Runs than Wood Minis (but that whole situation puts a really bad taste in my mouth!)

Looks like pre-sell is up.
$99.95 per box, $1,149.95 per 12 box case.

[QUOTE=TimBuckTwo;14399669]Where is the wood?[/QUOTE]


They were packed out.... maybe..... lol.

Ben Schwartz has an auto in this. I'll be picking one of those up.

RIGHT ON! :)!

[QUOTE=Gurds;14600115]Comedian/actor. Played Jean Ralphio on Park & Rec.[/QUOTE]

I'm going to pick one of those up too...from a $1 box at the national.

Lol@wood minis. We’ve seen what you do with those Topps. You can’t fool us!

[QUOTE=fenwaykid;14600145]I'm going to pick one of those up too...from a $1 box at the national.[/QUOTE]

No way that’ll be in a dollar box, if you do just buy that whole box

Who else has anyone seen sign for A&G this year? I know of 3 as of now

American Picker woman I believe? Think I saw it on Twitter
Ben Schwartz- Jean Ralphio from Paris and Rec
Kyle Snyder- 3 Team World and Olympic Champion freestyle wrestler

Yea, Danielle Colby, looking forward to that one as well as Ben, Parks and Rec is amazing.

We can only hope they got Adam Scott and Aubrey Plaza as well (I know, but one can hope)

i hope they can get VJ into this release

At first glance seeing the name I thought maybe JP made the Ginter checklist!

Looks like Ben signed 260 autos. Not sure if that's just blue or includes reds too.

[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190423/b5e1238310dc9e81ec3fe8713ec65b2d.jpg[/IMG]

very cool! sounds like 250 & 10

I sent another email to the president/vice president and Clay Luraschi of topps asking how they can assure us that the wood minis will be in the product this year. I fully expect them to run under a rock and not write back, but if I do hear from them I will post it here.

There must be some other great cards out there :cool:

Sweet! I can add to my Parks & Rec auto set.

I've cooled on A&G a bit lately but I'm totally getting one of these if I can get run over by a Lexus and be flushed with CAAAAAAAASH

Also Mike Oz -- the baseball card guy from Yahoo Sports.

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of wood minis in last year's design with rookie shields and "2018" scratched out get pulled

[QUOTE=BlowoutBuzz;14612439]Also Mike Oz -- the baseball card guy from Yahoo Sports.[/QUOTE]

Sister Mary Jo Sobieck signed as well (nun who threw out first pitch at a White Sox game).

Mayumi Seto (Topps Living Set artist) confirmed on her Instagram page, that she will be signing autographs for this year's A&G.

Continually updating list

Ben Schwartz- Jean Ralphio from Paris and Rec
Kyle Snyder- 3 Team World and Olympic Champion freestyle wrestler

Mike Oz is a draw for me because he worked at my local newspaper in Fresno for awhile. I've been happy to see his 'rise'

Is Mark Summers having an auto in this or just a relic?

Looks like someone from Beckett used this thread as a resource. lol

I'm hoping they do a presidential auto: Trump, Obama or Bill Clinton

[QUOTE=speedyjg13;14641290]I'm hoping they do a presidential auto: Trump, Obama or Bill Clinton[/QUOTE]

Trump would be YUUUUGE. Sorry had to do it

[QUOTE=boston12;14641299]Trump would be YUUUUGE. Sorry had to do it[/QUOTE]

Topps will NEVER do a Trump card. Trust me on this one.

Beckett shows some new signers.
Graham Elliot, some sorta TV show chef and 9 year old Hailey Dawson, a girl born with 'Poland Syndrome' (named after a guy, not the country), her right hand is underdeveloped.
Also, John Cynn 2018 WSOP winner.

Wow the absolute disrespect in this article, they posted everyone who’s confirmed but one guy. Why would they just not include the one other guy who’s confirmed?? Makes zero sense

Also signing for Ginter? Japanese wrestling legend Tiger Mask. I think this one will be big.

This would be amazing. All 3 would get big money.

I know it seems weird but imagine an Obama / Trump dual auto. (passing the torch)

The George Bush sells raw for under $1,000. How much big $ you think these will sell for?

A&G is slowly fading away...this needs to be a big year.... not seeing it so far with those auto subjects
