AKA we have a lot of signed stickers to move.

With 20 autos per case and over 50+ signers I don't have a great expectation here. You'll get 1 (maybe 2) main characters and 18-19 nobody autos including probably a few dupes.

Personally I hate Topps - I wish TWD was still with Crypto

Well, a product like this makes my gut think there just might be a license change coming. We'll see.

As someone who signed 600 cards as Third Walker in Barn, I resemble that remark! :p

Topps needs to go back to letting licenses breathe a little before they churn out the next set (and the next one and the next one...). Apparently the days of them releasing only one set for a license, or maybe one set a year for a license, are over. They only pick up properties that they feel they can make 10 sets a year from. If that's the only way they feel like they can turn a profit in non-sport, then I don't know what to tell them. But by and large the non-sport world just can't sustain that. Star Wars is one of the only properties that could, for a while at least, and even they are now teetering. Doctor Who couldn't, Walking Dead can't, and Stranger Things certainly isn't going to be able to either.

Be still my beating heart. What if Rittenhouse picked this up after passing on James Bond?

I have my fingers crossed for InkWorks

"cards limited to no more than 99 copies"

Well that is a positive, but I would like to know if each character is limited to 99, or are there going to be 10 different Sasha autograph cards, thus 990 Sasha Autograph cards inserted.

Might be a fun break if picked up in the bargain bin, but as already stated, I bet 18-19 boxes out of the case won't even get you the box value back.

Yeah with 50 signers, this is ridiculous. All stickers too. No way, hard pass for me. Like you said, I'm sure some will have a /99, /75, /50, /25, /10, /5, and /1, with there being multiple version of some cards. I agree with Blowout Buzz, this screams license dump to me.

Another complaint, why do they all say Season 8 on them when not everyone pictured was in season 8?

Well i am excited for these at least

So a while ago, pre Topps having the license, George (RIP) said Crypto had to do the split season sets because AMC or whomever owns the rights limited them on the amount of signers per set.

I guess this rule does not exist for Topps.

It's too bad these don't include autographs from Fear. . .

They also have to profit on the license, though. A definite balancing act. Can't not put out product for a deal you have for X amount of time.

Or, on flip side, this one could have more Jeffrey Dean Morgan (or insert other rarer signer) autos than most previous releases ...

When will a full checklist be available for this?

Checklist is out...

Didn’t realize, thank you!

It doesn't look like they have any new signers was hoping for a new updated Andrew Lincoln

I know there is a checklist out, but was wondering if anyone knew of where to find a master checklist? Some signers have three different cards and some are more short printed than others. I couldn’t find one and have tried contacting Topps, but that wasn’t successful.

Thanks, Chris
