First Buzz: 2021 Topps Dynasty baseball cards - Page 2

Hobby prices are basically like a Dutch auction now. They start out super high and then fall to meet demand. It’s very difficult to find a product that’s going to appreciate after release.

There's been numerous 12/24 releases over the years though so 12/22 is kind of a gift.

Where do you think these settle for the short term?

Yes Topps did, this is from their Topps through the years insert set. Hence why a "Dynasty" card says topps finest, topps stadium club etc. Horrendous idea by Topps, exacerbated by the morons in this hobby that cant tell thats not a real Dynasty card

zero Fernando Tatis Jr in this release. I haven't paid attention to other Topps releases. Is that the case in all of them lately? Weird to see one of the top few current stars not in the Dynasty set.

It looks like last year boxes recently sold for $365 and $411 so I’ll say $350 for a worse product. Take it with a grain of salt though.

That's a dumb move....what would compel them to do that?

IlliniBear · 12-23-2021, 05:32 PM

A couple case breaks of this went for about $3300 if my math is correct. 5 boxes so that’s $660 per box to break. Perhaps $550 a box isn’t so unreasonable?

I think he stopped signing for Topps a bit back

Got in a hit draft. Hit the 1st pick…. Had to pick a Mountcastle /10. Brutal case

Beautiful cards. Not worth $500/box.

IlliniBear · 12-23-2021, 11:49 PM

Why are laundry tags a thing? Am I crazy for preferring a nice patch /10 as opposed to a 1/1 laundry tag.

Its gimmicky for sure, would rather have the sickest patch on the shersey

You don't know either until people start opening the cards and you see them, or until someone (CC/Beckett) comes up with an actual checklist that lists all the card numbers.

Has anything been listed on this yet? Am just curious how many Casey Mize versions there are personally
I havent seen one yet, but I have seen 4 different Joey Bart, so am kind assuming, its going to be at least that as well for any rookie?

These are GU items correct? Not random fanatics jerseys?

Yes. Nearly everything Topps does is actually game used unlike Panini. With the exceptions being Fire, Inception, some cards from regular Topps, and maybe a couple others.

Thanks, their terminology on the back confused me by saying it wasn't from any specific game or event, but the front states GUsd.

We will miss Topps when they are gone
