BCW also make these... they’re regular-sized penny sleeves, that have a pocket for minis. So you can use regular toploaders, pages, onetouches and storage boxes.

Those are cool; I've got some mini toploaders but hadn't seen these full-size insert penny sleeves. Looks like they're pretty tight on the minis and would hold them in if the toploader was jostled.

They look great on display in a regular top-loader or one-touch. As you said, there are also mini-sized penny sleeves and top-loaders, which look great too.

I wish National Chicle would make a return again. I love the style.

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered some as supplies have been a real bytch to get in a timely manner lately, and want to be prepared by the time Terpps starts shipping out T206 packs.

I am gonna try and put together a set of a few of the different backs.
So anyone selling any (once these show up) hit me up.
I shouldn't need any Piedmont backs of series one.
thanks....

I am looking forward to this set. I think this will be the opposite of Project 2020 though. First wave will be really popular and decently hyped. But by the time Waves 3-5 come, the cards are going to seem boring compared to other sets out there; not to mention the tobacco card size will annoy some.

I think waves 3-5 will be short print compared to the first 2 waves. But in the end, Topps 206 is just not that exciting and has been done before. Again completely opposite of Project 2020.

But I collect 1909-11 T206s, 2002 Tops 206, 2009 Topps 206 because I have always loved the look, compilation, and variations.

I didn't know these existed. Very cool! For cards that are worth it, I think the tobacco sized one-touches are the best, but this looks like a really cool one step down. Likely cheaper as well. I'll have to pick up some of these

I'm sure it's been said, but I'm hopeful that Project 2020 has directed all the focus that way and print run is low for this release.

Clock is way too long, and with the increase of other boxes I may be buying more in the next 4 series

Which rookies?
Which minor leaguers?

Wow, forgot about these and surprised to see there is still another week left on the clock. I guess they are printing as many as they can and making that money.

Yes, all this print to order stuff is nothing but easy money for them. I can see a point in the future where Topps has a couple dozen products they’re selling at the same time this way...

I ordered 20 packs, can't remember if I've posted in this thread or not. I love A&G minis, I love the original T206 cards, I love ripping packs. It was an easy buy even if it wasn't the smartest buy. All the other wax is insanely expensive or unattainable, too, so I'll take what I can get.

Thinking about doing the same thing.

I'll be surprised if they don't do a Honus Wagner.

you could read the thread but

it's bad / it's print-on-demand / there's a lot of it / no one wants it

I also purchased 20 packs.

Ordinarily I wouldn't have purchased this product, but I sold one of my early "Topps Project" cards to buy the 20 packs.

That's not true. On-Demand products typically have an upper limit and can sell out ahead of the clock expiring.

That's why they include "While supplies last" on the product page.

It's not an on demand product, and on demand usually guarantees an autograph or gives you the odds of pulling one. So Topps knows their upper limit. Neither of which is the case here. "While supplies last" can also mean the same thing as a timer. Either this can't sell out or there is a near endless supply of it. If there were a cap on this, it would've sold out by now.
