Email was sent out to members. I’d like a little more info on the box before going blindly into it.

Me too. They keep showing the ugly Trout sample. Can we all agree to list these on ebay for no less than $2500? 😂

When are they going to put the charge on our credit card, when do they plan to ship...
I don't want $1,000 being charged to my CC and for the set to not be shipped forever...

Interesting is that it has rookie autos of Soto and Acuna so it must be coming out soon?

Ugh, told myself I probably wouldn’t order the set but for $1000 I’m torn. Only a short window to decide and it looks like we got an answer to how many members, 1000

I am hoping they list a little more info regarding the Brooklyn set before I plop down $1k for it. That being said, this is a $1,000,000 revenue generator for Topps (1,000 sets at $1k each). I would hope they provide at least a little more info, considering how much revenue it will instantly generate.
My other concern is that they already defined the print run to 1,000 boxes. What happens if it doesn't sell out. These are supposed to be only available to 582 members, but I am not sure enough of the members are going to be willing to drop $1k blindly without knowing at least a little bit more of what the box will include. Will I see these sets in bulk on Blowout or some other reseller, who got a great deal to buy out the rest of Topps inventory on these when they don't sell out?

Players like Justin Upton, Anthony Rizzo, Andrew McCutchen should not be signing for a $1,000 "highest end available on Topps.com" box...

After seeing the checklist and details this looks like a super hard pass

I'm passing... risk of getting lower-tier autos + ugly mock up makes it an easy decision for me.

There’s little redeeming qualities even if everyone got 5 good names there likely isn’t much to gain on this product.

One good thing is that the first 25 card set at least has Acuna RC logo card in it! Would be a nice bonus if Soto and others are in it too

Wow, seeing the checklist and the fact you only get 5 cards this is not going to be something I will be buying. Even if they guaranteed each box had at least one of the biggest names I would still pass. This is a huge risk, especially since you can only buy 1 set. I will be very surprised if this sells out, and will be more interested in what Topps does with the remaining 900 boxes that don't sell.

So there's a 1000 set limit, which to me shows that there are more than 1000 memberships.

Auto that is coming is a sticker auto.

I just dropped $1000 having no clue what I'm getting.


What could possibly go wrong???
