what's better to ummm...flip for long term a reg auto for $99 or auto/relic for $199?

armstrong · 10-27-2016, 01:39 PM

/1 sold out, went super fast like they always do

/10 sold out, went fast

Personally, I feel like there are a ton of Schwarber auto RCs out there. The game used WS relic is what is the biggest differentiator here. Seems like the better chance. But who knows!

What they really need to do is stop producing 6 or so cards for each game.

As I've stated before, "Player X grounds into a fielder's choice knocking in a run in a 6-0 win" is just not necessary. Really, 2 or 3 cards from each game would be fine barring something earth shattering.

Great point!

I grabbed a /99 and /199...I think the /199's will flip

Probably NONE. See what happened to the Bryant auto. 31 for sale / 1 sold

31 for sale

topps now bryant (auto,autograph) | eBay

1 sold

topps now bryant (auto,autograph) | eBay

The only way I would go in is long term on either and I am not sure I would even do that.

Might have a point there...the relic auto might be the way to go, but at twice the cost I think the auto with the WS logo has a better chance at making $200 then the relic auto making $300. But I could be wrong.

joejoemay · 10-27-2016, 01:52 PM

So me and the wife were talking about how much Schwarber reminds us of Pete Rose. Especially after the "Suck My Dick" comment....I think Pete and Mrs Schwarber might have had a love child

The RC & WS symbol & auto make this a one of kind card. Similar to how we saw one of kind symbol usage in Topps Opening day with only a handful of cards having the RC, All-Star Rookie & OD symbols.

joejoemay · 10-27-2016, 01:55 PM

Ok so Kenlin922 is going to race me to the bottom on the autograph! No sooner I put mine up he dropped his $20...he doesn't know how competitive I am!

joejoemay · 10-27-2016, 01:58 PM

The Bryant sold out way faster then this....

joejoemay · 10-27-2016, 01:58 PM

Thankfully I know many Cub fans who will enjoy the Christmas gift, if they don't sell...

I was the only one to sell a Bryant?

Crazy, I thought those would go like crazy. I think the main reason is people still don't know about these...yes collectors do but your average fan who has pay thousands to be at a World Series game will not think twice about dropping a few hundred on an autograph from the World Series. The Cubs have to win it though...if they don't not so much.

Not for a flipper...

I only got two so I'm not concerned...I'm in it for the long haul anyway. I like the guy and didn't have his autograph so I'm not going to stress over it.

I'm only in for the 2 as well. But wouldn't mind making a profit on one of them to help cover the cost of the one for my PC. Need to start subsidizing my Topps Now addiction somehow.

Topps Play-by-Play coming soon...
Get a card of every pitch of every game for every team !!!

okumeister · 10-27-2016, 02:28 PM

Topps TBT this week, 1978 design for both Indians and Cubs, sold separately...
How much money do they have to make!

If Schwarber can stay healthy from next year, both the auto and auto/relics should have huge potential as an investment (not for short term, for mid-long term).
I think not having color parallels on the auto will help the value too, since there are no lower numbered ones to restrict the value of the card.
Except, there is the auto/relic #/99, so that might limit the value of regular auto little bit.

rutgersjpm · 10-27-2016, 02:38 PM

Wow! The run on the 1st Schwarber RC was a lot lower than I expected. Should have pulled the trigger.

Only way I pick up a Schwarber auto is if he inscribes it "SMD"
