Rosario will keep prints kinda high. Muts fans buy cards. The sleeper will be Headley... SHHHHH Maybe Topps is trying to manipulate the Low Count this way... interested a total bum with 2 guys that will sell well... Will be interesting...

Be nice to Albert!

The first Padres card and of course its Headley

SaveMeTheGum · 05-02-2018, 01:13 PM

They are not showing the card backs yet. I wonder if it's because they are going to put "Pujols got his 3,000th hit on ____" Really putting the pressure on for him to do it this week.

ThoseBackPages · 05-02-2018, 01:14 PM

i would buy more Seavers then Ameds

Totally agree!

Headley will sell well. 800 different people will think they’re the only ones going big on him with the hopes of another Markakis/Castellanos and bump the PR up to 5-6000 ish.

Also, I've been tossing my order summary printouts, guess I shoulda held onto those too. Everything with this set is turning into madness. I only care about the cards. But if someone want's to pay $10 for a box, why not!

I just saw that this morning. 10 bucks for a living set box! The funny thing is that a bunch have been sold. This thing gets stranger by the day.

Is it me or does Pujols look like he's drowning in that baseball cap? Kinda big.

BH34 · 05-02-2018, 01:23 PM

Lol, of course it's a Met that gets the first 'Scrub Snub'® (a player that was thought to be a headliner but was a common instead).

That said, despite the topps numbering/orientation, I don't think it's a stretch to say Rosario will be the first scrub to outsell the star.

bigsmooth · 05-02-2018, 01:25 PM

Either Pujols is biting his tongue in that pic, or a red skittle.

SaveMeTheGum · 05-02-2018, 01:26 PM

If Pujols doesn't hit #3000 until next Tuesday (if at all), this set is going to be very delayed. I bit of a risky pick for Topps.

ThoseBackPages · 05-02-2018, 01:29 PM

im a buyer of Pujols, and probably 3 Ameds to keep my LIVING RC Sets going

Hilarious! And also 100% accurate!

I don't think that Rosario could have carried the week. Albies on the other hand with his hot start may be able to.

100% agree. There are plenty of guys out there still that can carry a week and a lot of RC's that can't, so expect to see more weeks like this.

Man, they still hate pitchers though... 24 cards - 1 Pitcher.

If Topps kept their ear to this forum that would be nice.
So much info here and so many members. It would give them an idea on who are the hot selling guys.

Indeed. Plenty of people will still pay $10-$15 for Acuna right after his Topps window closes. His fan base is simply and easily going to increase. Current and new dealers will buy in quantity after the window closes as well, especially if they didn't have the money during the window or if they have a demand from customers and here's the key: a chunk of the Acunas (as well as all of the other cards that were purchased in bulk) may be put away for a while, to let some time pass and for the market to dry up a little. It could go either way. Print runs are one thing. Circulation after the window closes, is another. Some people forget that many investors and collectors alike may buy complete sets to put away for a time (or forever) because the value of these sets is just going to increase, at least according to the way things stand now. Just some thoughts

The question that we can’t know is in 2025, will a holder of Acuna LS cards have a hoard akin to 2011 Topps Update Trouts or will they have a stack of 1990 Kevin Maas cards.

Rhys Phillies · 05-02-2018, 01:48 PM

Kevin Maas, the next Mattingly.

That's insane this PR is going to be crazy

TwinsJake · 05-02-2018, 01:50 PM

Just sold a $9.99 Acuna. Even if he prints 35K, he'll be $10 all day. That rhymes. Boom.
