I imagine they will be the first to sell out.

So JoeJoe, how many Philly auto sets are you in for?? LOL.

I've got to wait until next week, so I'm hoping they don't go that quick.

567 Red Sox auto sets available with 3 signers aigning at each level.
Not a small amount for sure, but with guaranteed one of all 3 autos with purchase of 3 sets, I bet a bunch that would normally buy one will buy 3.

With the discount I may take a shot at one set of Phillies. At $75, I guess I'm paying around $50 for an auto. Odds still aren't great to get something worthwhile.

But I guess that's usually the case.

Do you think Acuna makes the set?

Should be getting 4.67% combined cash back from Topcashback and PayPal also.

Hoping to get some RTOD auto freebies like last year as well.

So, I'm basically spending $1,200 for, at worst, a pair of /99 Ohtani and a /99 Trout autos with two other autos and 60 base cards that includes four Ohtani RC base cards.

The biggest decision for me this year is not going for two complete base sets.

How did you get auto freebies and how do you get topscashback?

Last year there were extra autos as they also included unnumbered autos in the RTOD. They ended up sending these extra autos out to certain buyers (not me unfortunately) for free as a surprise. This year, all of the autos are numbered (/99, /49, /25, /10, /5, /1) so unless a set doesn't "sell out" I doubt there will be any extra autos to send around.

I moved the start of January, called them with order numbers and asked them to redirect my postseason auto sets, they did good on 3 of 4 - one had to be forwarded by the USPS.

They answered quickly when I called.

Without a call, they will go tot he shipping address when ordered.

Bcwcardz · 02-15-2018, 06:18 PM

I would be in on these team sets but I dont feel like waiting til the end of the season for it.

Nice work!

I wonder if the Boston auto set is a price mistake? Last year they accidentally had Baltimore auto sets listed for $49.99 initially.....I was able to grab 6 before they realized the mistake.

Roughly, in 5 hours they've sold...

90 of 567 Red Sox Auto Sets (16%)
180 of 996 Yankees Auto Sets (18%)
100 of 756 Angels Auto Sets (13%)

Random, just some info for those waiting to buy. Surprised they sold so many Angels sets at $400/pop. Also surprised they've only sold 90 Red Sox sets.

How do you find this information

gamboooler · 02-15-2018, 07:18 PM

Just try to add X amount to your cart, if it allows you, there's at least that many left. If it doesn't, that's at least how many have sold. Trial and error from there.

Maybe why I saw like 600+ items in my cart earlier haha. Thanks for the info man!

mlbfan10 · 02-15-2018, 07:25 PM

No one is charting this or probably cares however

21 of the 756 Braves autograph sets have sold so far, not surprising.

I was interested in checking them all but not enough to go through and actually do it lol. Think the Mets and Brewers sets will be tough sells at their respective prices.

Have to wonder how long these things will be available given most of the people interested in buying have probably already bought. Or I'm totally wrong and the Yankees set is gone in 5 days.

speedyjg13 · 02-15-2018, 07:42 PM

For y'all who are bound to suffer heartbreak when you receive an Upton /99 auto or a Scribner /99 auto, you will have a happy buyer here when you decide to move them.

okumeister · 02-15-2018, 07:42 PM

Somebody said he coupon is valid till April 6th?
I didn’t get the promo card today, but might buy some later.
But I’ll lrobably be more focused on the bulk qtty of base sets.

Someone already answered the auto question. I'm also a Platinum member. We don't get to accumulate loyalty points to redeem for discounts so we pay full price for almost everything. However, Topps does surprise us with extra goodies. Last year, we thought that there were only around 25 Platinum members since we were getting exclusive /25 autos during the year.

Topcashback is like Ebates. You go to their site first, click their Topps link and they track your purchases. Months later you can get 3% cash back from your Topps purchases. I also purchase through PayPal using a PayPal card. It's 2x per $1 on purchases. Once I get 6,000 points, I can redeem it for $50.

Price for Boston was increased to $99.99

Kept thinking about going back for another set...
Oh well!
