JK5 Clemente, Mc Gwire Jamieson, and Don C Thomas to start. Those 3 would run just under $650-$700 right now. Maybe Efdot Ryan too? Card #52 and low print run at 4103. Still going for under $300

Just to have some fun, here's a set that def didn't hold its value. Now the counter is you buy bowman for the autos but still what are Jason base chromes going for again?

To add to your add, the Beck Ripken is ranked 46 and floating around $375. Saladeen's Griffey is 47 (about 120 less than Ripken) with the lowest BIN at $1200. The Blake Ryan is at 45 (2 more than Ripken) and is at $500. It will have it's day...like you said, probably when he gets to the big dogs.

Chang or Blake’s Robinson, Beck Ripken and Saladeen Mays would be some of my recommendations.

I ordered a single one of his card, the duo for that day. If interested for $200 G&S, feel free to reach out. Will be happy at that price. Can provide sales receipt and ebay page, 262 feedback 100%.

Well decided to sell my Trout Rochesters and Gooden Baller's. Ordered 2 of each, moved 1 Trout already at $100 on Ebay. Obviously sell others cheaper off of it if anyone is interested. Just can't risk with the PR up.

I’m guessing the Williams and Koufax will be in the 20-30k range

Rivera will be 30k and Don C 60k

Jeter 150k
I have a feeling they are higher because a lot of people lumped them in when purchasing Shore Griffey and Ryan...who knows

what risk? that you lose the $17.50 you spent on each?

So... I’ve got 85 pages to catch up on since I went to bed past 2 am this morning. Is it worth it?

Nope that I lose to maximize my profits. I'm 100% fine getting 300% ROI on these and missing out on future gains, but I just feel it is time for me to jump off this boat.

Best idea yet.





Just throwing this out there, but I'm willing to trade up to 10 fucci trouts straight up for some American Macs. 1:1 straight across.

Obviously, this will rely on scout's honor since neither are in hand, but thought I'd give it a shot.

I can’t believe you guys added 85 pages in the past 14 hours.

This project, unlike any other I have ever seen, can be collected in so many ways that complete sets will likely be extremely rare due to the artist/player differentiation. I am committing $1200 to 3 artist sets. Seems like a no brainer for something that gets me as excited as this has! Will look great in my wall display!!! I admittedly geek out waiting for the next card released by one of the artists I am collecting.
I agree it will look out and I think the concept is awesome.

I’m banking on:

-History of cards
-Lack of attention span
-The majority of buyers being flippers

Could this be the set that that breaks all the molds? Absolutely. Would I put my $7K up on that, which is what I’d have to commit to undertake it, no I wouldn’t so I didn’t.

I love that money is pouring into this and taking some of the shine off other things that I collect and I hope it continues so I can get cards I like more for cheaper than I should as money pours into this.

As it stands Topps has printed 500,000+ cards. If everybody got in at $15 they’ve generated $7.5M already. That’s an awesome achievement!
