Is this really 5 Random Autographs for $1000?

DaRitz · 12-03-2018, 10:29 PM

Yep!

Start towards the bottom here:

If you're lucky, one of your 5 autos might be worth $200!

I hope that’s not the case.

People that are not filthy rich or have some semblance of control of their money are not gonna order these with the lack of information being provided to the members of this club. I know I am not. I hope they clarify this more tomorrow/before the time limit is up. The way it is being presented is really a no win situation for the buyer. 5 auto cards from that list randomized seems irrational to me.

Yep

Just gotta look at the checklist and Transcendent Autos and realize its a HUGE lose lose situation. Now... if it was basketball... WAY more potential because of international popularity. But not baseball.

What still has me leaning towards pulling the trigger on this despite the 5 cards and $1000 price tag is I would guess Topps is going to try and make this club, at least in year 1, very nice. I realize this is an add on to the $200 membership but it's the only way to acquire it. They say 1000 boxes first come first serve but what if it doesn't sell out? Even with them releasing more details I think there will be a lot of people who are skeptical and will still pass. I'm sure this is made to order so the actual release could be less than 1000 boxes. I've got a lot of faith in their online offerings and to me have been my favorite in the past few years and in the rare cases that I have sold something I haven't really gotten burned. I think there is potential in this but agree with everyone that I thought it would be more than 5 cards. I was expecting some sort of small set plus autos.

I'm with you.

If Topps does a poor job with this, there is no way I'll buy into any more, and I won't be disappointed in the slightest if I miss out because future releases are the best thing going.

Pull the wool over my eyes once, that's my fault. You won't get the chance to do it a second time.

Speaking of that WOOL thing...

Is anyone else buying anymore X releases after Harper? I believe I had the wool pulled AT LEAST once before already.

1000 Boxes multiplied by $1000 Purchase.

This is a 1 Million Dollar Release(I do math well

).

Why should they care if anyone else buys in after this sells out lol?

Just like Harper X, they move on to the next thing and REEEEEEEEEEEL us back in. Next will be the Topps Old Testament New Amsterdam Rubble release at $2500 with a $350 membership.

Can you tell I'm still pissed about my post season Yankees sets and still venting a bit?

Good luck with whoever buys this. I truly hope you get Ohtani, Soto, Acuna, Trout and Hank Aaron.

No more Wool for this guy right now...

:-)

I hear its getting cold in your neck of the woods. These probably burn REAAALLLL well with the amount of generic bat wood in there!

Might be cheaper than buying a few logs this winter
