Topps 582 Montgomery Club - Page 366

Haven’t received any notification about my 2 boxes of the Brooklyn Collection shipping.

Topps must be ashamed of how the Brooklyn Collection turned out this year. They will release images of 2021 Series 2 that doesn't release till next summer, but we have no idea what these look like that are already in the mail. Topps is such a well ran organization. Apple and Google should learn from them.

What kind of world do we live in where Dave Justice, Joey Gallo, and Steve Garvey are not considered halfway respectable?

A world where resale value is a huge factor. I can paint a pretty picture but if no one wants to buys it..

I was thinking maybe those 3 have more autos avail on the bay than say Luis, but those 3 have 200-400 ea. where Luis is at 1000.

A good chunk of buyers might be too young and never seen Garvey/Justice play. Same reason I have no interest in autos from the 60's/70's etc.

Then they should should spend half an hour and educate themselves on Garvey and Justice. Really good players that won multiple championships. It would not be surprising to see the Veteran's Committee put Garvey in the Hall of Fame someday.

Not sure everyone who signed up for this club is looking to score a huge profit on every single item they receive. Some people actually collect and would love an auto from the players who have popped up.

Sorry I got John Means and essentially John Means quality for every other Club auto. With the exception of Edgar Martinez. No one wants John Means auto.

I agree.

I know. I was trying to explain why some would not want the players mentioned.

I keep thinking I should break up my sets and do some selling.....and then I just don't. My first auto was Kyle Tucker and can't even bring myself to list him!

The sad part is they're probably not ashamed or even care the least bit. It would take a few mins to put an image up online.

I'm looking forward to see what they look like... I'm either going to regret not buying any or be like PHEW I'm glad I didn't

I saw on twitter someone got them in hand today but won't be breaking until later this afternoon

Comparing a trading card company to two of the most successful companies in history makes complete sense

My assumptions-

I assume an employee forgot, pushed to the next online release project and they're giving 100% but it's not enough as they're understaffed.

Not saying it's right, but they released images of 2021 S2 because they have to. MUCH larger print run. Bigger profit margin/total. They must presale this for awhile.

Like others, Topps gets away with only what they have to do. Who is their competition? Panini? lol They're not worried.

It's not hard to post a pic. include a small write up and the checklist, I agree. But many others like myself still handed over their money so why change? They say "my bad" to their Supervisor and move on. Little to no recourse based on the frequency of lack of info. There's numerous ways I could improve my place of employment, personal life etc. Time, money, ability and desire to change all factor in.

Hopefully got my account fixed today. I was told by CS rep that she has put in a request to fix my account so fingers crossed that that actually works.

She did confirm that I will be unable to get the Brooklyn Collection so enjoy that.

Garvey was the one guy I collected growing up. Saw my first pack of Topps cards in 1976 and bought one pack at a time until I got Garvey. Did that every year through his last season in 1987. So some years I had more Topps cards than others...depending on how soon Garvey's card popped up. Never got around to going back though...rookie year to 1975...maybe something to do now that I have a bit more hobby money. So I for one am hoping to get that Garvey auto!

Don't get butt hurt because you tried to be snarky over something that was clearly said a joke and you didn't get it.

Now I see why they didn't release the pics earlier lol.

Looks incredibly bland. Their set #5 that just came out looks a thousand times better than this, and that one was free.

I was actually thinking the opposite, but to each their own (thought the Vintage-ish, clean design was pretty slick TBH)

I don't think they are too bad. Better than last year in my opinion.

gamboooler · 12-01-2020, 04:02 PM

I like the auto design, not so much the base. Too much space eaten up by color blocks.
