I did not. They might be monitoring this thread and noticed me bitching about not getting the email Since my handle is the same as my email, wouldn't be too hard to match up.

The 5 auto thing is still puzzling for me. It will be next to impossible to build this set...however, for player collectors, would be nice chasing down who they collect. I'll just pray/hope for a Trout or Soto..

That could be, my e-mail address is different over there.

So from the above post, it looks like these are already signed and machine numbered. Or that is a really really good photoshop job.

I figured they had to be, or at least some of the players had to be done already. There's no way they were waiting until tomorrow to start the process of getting all of these on-card autos, otherwise the set wouldn't be ready until next summer. Or it would have redemptions, which would be awesome.

Same here on the order. While there could be a ton of value in these, there are just sooooo many hobby duds on that checklist. I guess I still have a day to decide.

Also just noticed that Topps.com won't let you use Discover or Amex. Are we back in the 90's?

"Type 4 Crown 210 Gold Foil"

Huh?? What's that. Better than type 3? Sounds fancy and all but is that a thing we care about?

What's next..."These were made using organic birch wood sourced from northern U.S. states and signed in ink derived from beetle blood".

A little more information out today with the Jeter and Torres cards pictured as well as the case they come in which look nice.

Still is an absolute crap product there are 11 decent names (cards that may sell above $200) in design 1 which is supposed to have 50 cards and 5 in design 2. So of the 100 cards/subjects there are 16 highly in demand players and a lot of Al Kalines and Don Mattinglys (good to great players but guys who don't get any hobby love). There's just no value in this product. If they added 20 base cards from the set of 100 and numbered them to 200 it would create a little more value and if they added some base parallels even more value but still probably wouldn't be $1000.

People have had some issues with CC numbers being swiped after use on Topps.com--I would stick to PP.

5 autos for $1000 no fun value for me.

Would rather break a case of 2018 Bowman Draft, or 2018 Bowman’s Best or .......

I just noticed that Ichiro is not on the checklist.
Not that I have committed to buy the box, I would've thought a player like Ichiro will make it into these kind of high end product checklist.
Maybe it's a sign that Topps won't have his autos in 2019 products...

Topps using a design that would have been better served if they kept them lost.

These do not look like the type of cards I would expect in a $1,000 box.
