First Look: 2014 Topps Dynasty baseball cards

[MikeWilliamsFan]

Wait it says 5 packs per box or is that 5 packs per case?

[brad9999]

This could really hurt future higher end Topps products considering the quality of relics they will be using, leaving lesser quality pieces of the same players for Threads/Five-Star/etc. Additionally, the cut autos should reduce the availability for nicer chases in the future.

I'm hoping maybe Mathewson gets a cut in this - that would be killer!

[peterose4hof]

This should be fun to do as a group break.

[Zoop]

Lots of Jurickson Profar, Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, David Wright, and other players that you can buy for $20.

[dhcollecting]

there will be no base cards...its 1 card per box. factory cost is 200 which means after everyone's cut this will be 400-450 a box.

[CMpunk13]

One card per box! So much risk. If only I had the funds I would rip this.

[peterose4hof]

So is $200 an approx. SRP or is that the wholesale price?

I have a feeling he probably will be, along with Angel Pagan and Ben Zobrist.

I dunno, his 2014 autograph cards have been selling in the $100-$150 range.

[marauder03]

I was skeptical at first, the sell sheet makes it sound fantastic, but $200 a card cost is so risky. I can't imagine it is loaded up with the riff-raff, but will have rookies.

The only rookie that would have a chance of getting your money back would be Jose Abreu. By the time this is released his autos won't be going for as much so possibly not even he could pay for the "pack".

Unless Kris Bryant is called up before the September deadline.

I believe they are saying $200 is roughly how much each card is going to cost them to produce. So msrp will prob be $350-$500

[death2redemptions]

Also, with a product as high-end as this they better have multi-player autograph cards and unique 1/1 relic autograph cards (bat barrel, bat knob, logoman, etc.) because very few cards will actually let you break even with the price per pack if they don't include them.

At $200 per box (1 card) this product is pretty much a loser, any higher than that and you will get absolutely killed ripping this product.

There's not many current stars....just overrated prospects.

Looks interesting but hate the dark black background.

[hermanotarjeta]

Looks like the ugly child of tribute and triple threads.

For those who are asking for it, this is a great way to die-nasty.

1 Pack per Box.
5 Boxes per Case.

1 Box = 1 Hit
Case= 5 Hits

[Davesportscards]

Don't worry guys. There will be plenty of Trout, Miggy and Rivera Autos. I'm sure Topps will put out 10 Different versions of the same player each /10.

[green4407]

So will there be any new information on the checklist and players included soon or will we only know a few days before like all the other releases? I've never busted high-end before but this looks interesting.

I don't want to get a Carlos Santana, Ricky Nolasco, etc. card for $227 (that's the price my distributor has it at) though.

This will be a difficult product to buy singles from early on. With everything low numbered, and the fact that people will be spending $350+ on a box (if factory costs are $200), it will be hard to see anyone wanting to sell their 1 card at a big loss. Just psychologically, it's harder to move one low numbered card at a large loss than a group of higher numbered ones (to me anyway).

I just think it has a lot of frustration in store for those trying to buy, but it also could drive up prices people pay on singles. Good for breakers, bad for collectors.

I won't be busting any of this but I am glad Topps is at least TRYING to make something people will want to spend hundreds on in the collecting side.

[coltsnsox07]

Topps version of Prime Cuts! I remember getting an Adam Dunn bat & patch non auto /10 from a Prime Cuts II box(for like $259 I think) and the shop owner said buy another one, it can't be worse, it was a Babe Ruth home jersey/bat/pants/away jersey beautiful quad. This stuff reminds me of that.

You underestimate the power of the weak seller or those who use their credit card to buy cases. In the rush to be able to pay down the credit card bill, their mentality will be that they can take a loss if they don't get the big hit then pay the rest off later. Believe me, the undersellers will end up breaking this stuff only to sell for a loss quickly after release. I am sure there will be some deals to be had on this.

That is awesome. They look so nice, but even the singles will be a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
