Ripping this product is going to be a disaster. I'm sure the cards will look beautiful and I'll buy singles if some of my PC Braves players have cards but $375 a card? Really!? People are gonna lose more than just their shirts on this one.

I'm still looking forward to the release of this product because I'm sure some of the cards will look fantastic...but I'm not paying $375 for a card. Just won't do it.

Only update I've heard is Topps may be delaying the product to 12/26.

You would think so. But when you have a monopoly every day is Christmas. Also, I would predict the case run to be less than 3,000. This could be a test for them. If successful then they can run it into the ground later under the guise of "limited production run". (See Topps Mini)

How much did you get them for? Wasn't it originally like $250 per box or something like that?

I'm definitely interested in this product as I love me some high end goodness, but I can't help but feel that people are going to get slaughtered unless they bought in super early when prices were lower. Right now BO is sitting at just shy of $375 per card at almost $1,900 per case. I've got the cash to burn, but there's just no way I can go in blindly on something like this before a checklist is published.

Also, D2R's sig is the best. It may have gotten my wife pregnant.

I had a chance to go big on this, but I passed. I went with Immaculate baseball instead.

This means that Dynasty will be amazing and Immaculate will suck.

Maybe if I go big on Dynasty our collective karma will collide and create anti-karma which will spawn winning cases of sexy for both of us?

Someone call Neil deGrasse Tyson for a proof. I might be convinced.

That would be nice. Hopefully winners all around!

So the playoffs are in full swing, and you'd think Topps would at least send out some new teaser pics/scans...highest priced release ever, and it's still a hush job, just 6 weeks before supposed release...

After the Bowman Chrome damage debacle there is no way anyone should be considering buying this product.

This product will be a bigger bust than Immaculate IMO.

I love their computer-generated Griffey auto on the OP, when we all know what those Silver Ink autos will actually look like:

2012 Five Star Silver Ink Autograph Auto Yoenis Cespeder M 68 of 99 | eBay

2012 Topps Five Star Silver Signatures Autograph Auto Albert Belle 19 99 Indians | eBay

What a dumpster-fire this product will be.
