Am I crazy for coming to those conclusions?

Chance for both? Where did you see that?

I don't see how they can deliver on this. Their hand has already been played. We now know that every set will have one card with a value between $250-1000 (highest probability being the low end); another around $100-150; and 3 more in the $25-50 range.

Unless there is more content than what has been announced, this is a giant F U!

There’s not. There’s no set. It’s five cards period that’s it. Pretty explicitly clear and a checklist listed.

daviswr7 · 12-03-2018, 06:23 PM

Who wants to call Topps for clarification and wait on hold for an hour?

I'm out on the whole $1K for 5 Auto's deal...if that really is the case that is highly dissapointing. I too thought it would be a full set and then a bunch of auto's. Pass. I'll take whatever my $200 bought me and be good...

gamboooler · 12-03-2018, 06:26 PM

Ay yo, can I get a refund on this membership? lol

$1,000 for 5 autographs from that list is absolutely insane.

daviswr7 · 12-03-2018, 06:28 PM

Anyone find it funny that they went out of there way to use the words "sticker-autograph" in the description?

Guess they wanted to get in front of the complaints early.

105 cards on the checklists. (Some players are on both checklists.)

Each card on the checklist, presumably, has a /25, /15, /10, /5, /1.

Rough odds, on your 5 cards, are:
2.2 cards numbered /25
1.3 cards numbered /15
.89 cards numbered /10 (1 in 1.12 packs)
.44 cards numbered /5 (1 in 2.24 packs)
.09 cards numbered /1 (1 in 11.2 packs)

Players with cards in both sets: Beltre, McCutchen, Pettitte, Rizzo, Gibson, Bo Jackson, Bernie Williams, Biggio, Chipper Jones, Ripken, Mattingly, Ortiz, Lindor, Frank Thomas, Maddux, Springer, Sanchez, Torres, Matsui, Ivan Rodriguez, Altuve, Bench, Bagwell, deGrom, Soto, Votto, KBryant, McGwire, Machado, Piazza, Trout, Tanaka, Nolan Ryan, Syndergaard, Pedro Martinez, Acuna, Clemens, Devers, Henderson, Randy Johnson, Reggie Jackson, Ohtani, Molina.

Players with half as many cards as those listed above: Judge, Kaline, Rosario, Harper, Larkin, Jeter, Sale, Freeman, Hank Aaron, Justin Upton, Brock, Rivera, Ozzie Smith, Alomar, Carew, Hoskins, Koufax, Sandberg, Will Clark.

I'm not doing it. Way too much risk. Kind of an odd offering as the first item for people who paid $200... and haven't seen anything yet.

If they built some credibility from the membership first, I might be interested, but it's an odd first offering.

Looking more and more like a way to increase Q4 income to please shareholders without having to spend a dime.

When did the email go out? I got nothing?

Did you check your spam? That's where I found mine.

I know. Asking the person I quoted in case I missed something.

DaRitz · 12-03-2018, 06:31 PM

I just can't believe this is the first email we received since membership.

Build some credibility first! Sheesh.

How much will they ask us to pay before seeing the first card?

Well, I guess we'll see if all 1000 sets sell. Hopefully only like 100 sell and they reward us dummies by just sending all the auto's to the 100 buyers

pskell02 · 12-03-2018, 06:33 PM

I haven’t received any communication from them since my receipt for the initial $200 charge. I want to waste $1k on that Brooklyn box and find out about that bonus Banda auto that is being sent to everyone.

Asking my LCS guy if he’s heard anything about it from his topps rep
Stay tuned

Looks like 100 total 1/1 platinum parrallel, that is a 10 % chance at a 1/1
*/5 chance goes up to 50%
*/10 should be gauranteed.....
Thousand bucks for a */10 amed Rosario

Ha! There you go. Way to think positive. Hope your gamble pays off. I'm sitting this one out unless more info comes.

It says "On Card" for the Brooklyn Set....Doesn't persuade me anymore though

Same boat. Charge shows on the Topps Site but I have zero emails or access.

mwheeler27 · 12-03-2018, 06:47 PM

For the same $1000, you could get 10 rookie autographs and 520 other cards if you buy the following instead:

Decisions, decisions.

LC2nine10 · 12-03-2018, 06:56 PM

Honest question: what did people expect?
A lot of the forum is bashing toppz/ panini for a variety of issues (stickers,redemptions,poorQQ).

psochaps · 12-03-2018, 06:59 PM

Will these ship before or after the first set in 3-4 weeks? Just wondering what people think the turnaround time will be on this?

boston12 · 12-03-2018, 06:59 PM

I just don’t get how they can expect someone to spend 1k without knowing the checklist.

Maybe they think we all have a group breaker mentality...just blindly buying crap without asking questions! This is what Topps thinks of us..

The email probably only went out to people that were involved in Prospect Rush breaks...
