2022 Topps Black and White--Up On Topps - Page 3

xposipx · 02-08-2023, 07:17 PM

Any info on these? I purchased 9 and am impatiently waiting.

NYJNYYFan · 02-09-2023, 09:45 AM

No word yet on my boxes either. Lesson learned not to order any more of these Topps On Demand products.

These things take a while.

They print them in color and then convert them to B&W, right? I imagine that is a time consuming process. Kinda like making decaffeinated coffee or 0% alcohol beer.

Bunny Hop · 02-14-2023, 02:43 PM

Word this morning over the phone was that they should be shipping before the 20th of Feb. But, yaknow, that's probably just, like, their opinion, man.

Word on the phone THIS morning is that they should be shipping before the end of the month. OOOOOOF.

Eric1285 · 02-22-2023, 06:07 PM

Looking forward to my single box order whenever they finally get moving

Bunny Hop · 02-22-2023, 06:20 PM

I noticed the 2023 series 1 flagship Golden Mirror for Juan Soto is the same image used for B&W, and is basically the same as the B&W 1 of 1, I think (full color?), which is SOOOOOOOOOOO unfortunate/lame/I wonder what else has been reused. I know images sometimes get recycled. I just find it disappointing here and in other distinct products.

Received shipping notifications yesterday.

Thanks, I was trying to puzzle out what the shipping notice from FedEx was. No movement on my orders page on Topps dot com but the weight of the package... not sure it could be anything else. Let's gooo.

scottagibson · 03-02-2023, 03:52 PM

Starting to pop up on ebay.. cards look great, as always!

Neal · 03-02-2023, 08:51 PM

That's a nice looking card

Happens all the time..... but this one is particularly annoying, diluting the prestige of the SSP and missing an opportunity to have something unique in B&W.

Exactly no one here needs to care, but the McMahon photo is the same action sequence from 2023 topps series 1 base, but, different (miserable) crop.

I'll never not love a photo-oriented set, but I agree here and in general, they miss a lot of hanging curves when it comes to opportunities to nail a product.

ewokpelts · 03-03-2023, 12:49 AM

The people that are getting notification, weRe your orders from MC? Or just early in the sales window?
I haven’t gotten a notification yet, and my order was around Black Friday. I think there were another week or two in the sales window.

mfw13 · 03-03-2023, 01:08 AM

I'll be looking to collect the #/10 color parallels of the HOFers.... if anyone pulls any, please PM me.

My orders that are shipping are not related to MC and were placed piecemeal between 11/16 and 12/15. They've all made it out the door according to shipping emails from Topps.

Cheers cheers. My light misery loves light commiseration. EDIT: Before it's pointed out by someone else, the McMahon shot is a frame or two off from the Series 1 shot, FWIW (and it ain't worth much -- same sequence). But that Soto 1 of 1! C'mon man.

Cojo4412 · 03-03-2023, 08:31 PM

Just got my single box in. Fun little rip! The black and white look great especially with the popping RC symbols. Hit a few big rookies in my 30 cards!

Worth $50?

You're telling me

(I shot both photos.... it's clear they are different but it's not immediately evident it's the same play)

My images in this are Acuna, Cronenworth, McMahon, and Alek Thomas. Have some boxes coming but will buy parallels of those 4.

Looks like fun, thanks for sharing!

Definitely regret not ordering more than 1 box.

Some of the images look real nice.

But wished they used some of the nice photos (e.g., JRod) in other (and better) products.

That's the perfect Stadium Club/Stadium Club Chrome image.

STLtoMN · 03-04-2023, 07:12 PM

got my 3 today... poor collation tho...

best hits were:

Alec Bohm Auto /49
Nolan Ryan /99
(2) Bobby Witt Jr. Base
Bobby Witt Jr Resolution
Wander Franco Base

was thinking of going for the set... but seeing as i got 3 of some... all base cards are available if people are looking to complete their set... just shoot me a pm

eldustino · 03-05-2023, 01:22 PM

Since photo-based sets are my favorite sets, I bought a total of 10 boxes.

8 showed up today - very decent results for me, collation was so so in mine and favored me a bit as I hit 3 Julio for example to 1 Alek Thomas.

Hits included Al Kaline auto /10 right next to a Stanton foilboard /5, Ke'brian Hayes auto /49, and Vaughn auto /25, degrom /10 and /25 film strip, and plenty of miscellaneous nice cards. I felt the packs delivered well, nothing special of my personal chase though (Cronenworth, Alek Thomas, Ryan McMahon, and Acuna base cards).

Would be fun to get a trade done on mid-level hits; I'm not sure what to do with the Kaline but the popular guys I'm throwing up on ebay. If anyone else wants to try and swap negatives/sepias/film strips of my guys I'll be glad to do it!
