Go Blue Jays!!!

Did the Tatis set have any mention of on-card autos?

Only sticker autos for the tatis set.

Cool, thanks.

If they guaranteed at that buying 6 or 7 sets would guarantee a Vlad auto and a Vlad game used, then I might buy. However aside from Vlad, Trout, and Griffey the auto checklist is rough, especially at a $50 premium over the base set. The fact that Vlad autos are 1:6, also tells me that there is not an even distribution of autographs, otherwise Vlad would be 1:13. So I have to assume that Trout and Griffey are going to be significantly tougher to pull than Tellez and Jansen.
I have bought every player curated set so far, but might pass on this one due to price vs value. At least for now, maybe they will change something tomorrow to state some kind of guarantee regarding the Vlad autos.

I'm in for 20 boxes. :)!

In for 2 of the collectors boxes, we'll see what happens.

[QUOTE=okumeister;15264061]Did the Tatis set have any mention of on-card autos?[/QUOTE]Only Vlad is mentioned as an on-card auto, which is nice.

But I'd bet all other autos are sticker, seeing the Trout mockup.

Be careful with this one. All those base cards could print crazy high seeing as Topps doesn't announce whether or not there's a limit on how many of the non-auto sets they can manufacture.

Got mine 1 set in today. My auto was Bobby Abreu (saw that coming a mile away), and it is a sticker. Also got a red Tatis Sr, but it's not numbered.

I feel like this one has more subject redundancies than the others have, but there are some cool images used at least.

A fellow Canadian bought 20 packs. Hit 1/1 Biggio card, 1/1 Vlad card and.... 1/1 Vlad auto!!!

:eek:

Mine sets are stuck in transit so probably won't see them until the holidays are over.. ah well.. waiting game to get.. waiting game to open and waiting game to grading... fun!

---Update... got the 2 sets today (Dec 23, 2019), one had a relic (unnumbered) Vlad and the other had an auto on card of Vlad (unnumbered). But wow talk about a train wreck of condition.. most of the base cards have serious edge issues and some even had half circle like markings on their backs that are indentations. So much for getting a lot of this stuff graded. Heck even the relic has a nice pin hole dent on the front and the relic itself doesn't fit the window originally cut it is really small. Not exactly impressed in 2019 with these extra sets. You pay a lot and get horrible conditioned stuff. Better off going to Walmart and dealing with pack searchers in my area dinging all the corners. Might get lucky.. and for a lot less money.
