Lot of names here.

Looks pretty solid.

Nice. Was always wondering when I'd see a Doug fister autograph in Topps

Lot of cut signatures.......too many IMO.

Too many cut auto's? Seriously?

was hoping for Arrieta but no luck...and no Correa?? also saw Musial again so those will be rough again...

and was hoping for Cespedes in Tigs uni...even tho it was short lived...thought he would be on checklist for sure...either tigs or mets..but didnt see him...

I'll have to see what the cut signatures look like. If a picture of the player is on the front of the card with the cut signature then I'm definitely interested. If it's just a cut signature with no picture of the player then I'll pass.

Wish Topps could somehow update the checklists to accomodate for players that are hot, that maybe they didn't expect to be (Arrieta for example). When you keep putting out the same checklist over and over it gets a little stale.

Want the Harry Kalas cut though.

Hopefully they make the legendary lineups cut signature books, the Brooklyn Dodger one is insane.

You obviously didn't look at the checklist.

Looks good..but for the love of all thats holy, enough Devin Mesoraco!!! What kind of friggin arrangement do they have with this guy?!

I posted the checklist seconds before this one. Seems like your grasping for negative straws.

Damn, i didn't realize my opinion meant so much to you.

I definitely agree with you and wish they did adapt to an ever changing market, but a guy people could care less about before would help! They could even take all the backstock they are sure to have, stamp them as buybacks and throw them in the packs - buybacks can be from anything, anytime, anywhere!

Just surprised that you think having more cut signatures is a bad thing...

Where did you manufacture that translation?

You said I obviously didn't see the checklist when I did.

I've never ever heard someone complain about cut autos.

I guess I'm just different. For me, hitting a cut auto in a high end product should yield a huge return and not $50-75, if not less. Seeing some of these names just reminds me of Diamond Kings or Legendary Cuts.....but those are $50-70 breaks.

those are also unlicensed crap products.

Some nice cards but people want logos.

Looks pretty solid, the Yankees and Dodgers lineup cards look pretty sweet. Do y'all think they will be redemptions?

Disappointed to see zero Tigers other than cut sigs.

Fair enough, but I'm not going to get excited about this product just because they added more cut autos. If they added more quality cuts, then it would be a different story.

I guess people will get blinded by the addition of the cut autos and overlook the fact they did away with the knobs/batplates.

ACTUALLY, I just realized the box prices are $120-130/box......so this does make sense to me now.

Still waiting for my Schoop Silhouette Batter Logo Patch Auto from last year

I suppose it comes down to how you classify quality...you have a greater chance at autos of HOF players that are deceased, while still having Ruth, Foxx, Hornsby, Dimaggio, Williams, Robinson, Paige, etc. included.

My initial comment wasnt that you weren't excited about the product because of the cut auto's but you actually seemed like you were saying the product is bad because of them.

Im not excited about any product for one subset but this product seems to be strong across the board. Of course they have Bryce Brentz and the typical crud (no clue why they don't just dump the trash but it is what it is). In general there are very few names I'd be upset about hitting.

Ive got 2 cases coming in and it costs me the same as a .5 cases of TTT would've cost. Odds are way better with this one.

2 cards per pack...

That auto checklist is large...

Lots of really bad boxes.....

Where are the knobs and barrels ?
