PR is up:

Votto-4915
Story-4576
Bote-5345

edit, looks like Jake was already on it.

I thought the Story was one of Ms. Seto's greatest works.
Quite low on PR it seems.

We didn't have another low PR break the top 10 this week, but we were close!

The Story is currently ranked #11.

They should make a special sound-chip version of the Wright that plays his Topps Customer Service "Please Hold" message over and over.

Great set this week. My charter order of one set per week from the start continues...

Lol, I thought about that same message as well when I saw the card and De La Soul's "Me, Myself and I" popped into my head

The legend that is Sogard has more cards than Story!

I think Sogard will have more cards than many upcoming LS subjects.

Sorry but I'm kinda new to the game on this set, is there any rhyme or reason to who gets selected to be added to the checklist every week?

Is there any chance that Yelich gets a card?

Answer to question #1 - Kind of, sort of. Only Topps knows though.

Answer to question #2 - Yes. Only Topps knows as to when.

Here is the rhyme or reason: Star, Rookie, Scrub

There is a chance Yelich gets a card..

yrocks2001 · 09-27-2018, 03:39 PM

I'd be surprised if Yelich wasn't next week or after he wins MVP

Yelich, Beltre/Victor Martinez and a rookie or a scrub

I'd like to see Topps get Adalberto Mondesi into the set before he takes that last step to stardom. With as bad as the Royals have been this year, he's flown under the radar, but he's been dynamic in the second half. It's of course possible that he turns back into a pumpkin, but if he builds on that performance in 2019, he'll be getting a lot more attention. Get him into the set before he builds any name recognition, and the print run will be pretty low.

Lawmaker · 09-27-2018, 11:01 PM

As a Royals fan, this dude has been unbelievable. Think Trea Turner with more power!

bigsmooth · 09-28-2018, 07:07 AM

Anyone remember NJGREGG (Scherzer confirmed) that used to be in this thread a lot before he got banned? Someone on FB is claiming an Ebay seller by the name of “topps*now” is selling fake 80th Anniversary 1953 Topps Baseball Wrapper Art cards. He said his actual name is Gregg Wieder and it looks like he’s from Monroe Township, NJ.

Anyways he had the listing up last night and after the buyer messaged him it appears he took down the listing.

Wow.. This type of controversy may need its own thread..

editorgaw is Gregg Wieder and topps*now but houdini said he is not NJGREGG if you remember.

IMO I think it's just a bad choice of word for the listing. I'm sure he'll be around here soon to speak for himself.

I don't think there's controversy here- these cards are printed on-demand so the two examples were more than likely just printed at different times. Probably more of an error than anything

youre probably right, the fb post calling them out as 'fakes' just shook me a little bit --
if the wrapper card were faked, then what if other cards TN/TLS cards purchased off ebay were faked also?

I'm with you, hoping for an unintentional error during printing/manufacturing by topps, and not something more sinister.

kpete42 · 09-28-2018, 08:25 AM

Gregg is a good dude. Bought from him many times and he’s always friendly and professional.

bigsmooth · 09-28-2018, 08:36 AM

I think it’s kind of odd that the seller: topps*now ended the listing immediately. Like he’s hiding something.

Or realizes he could have a rare error of a fairly desirable card that was only offered for a limited time?

Given the seller, I assume absolutely no foul play- he probably saw the FB post or the one above. And also, why would someone fake a $13 card?

bigsmooth · 09-28-2018, 08:40 AM

The seller: topps*now even had printed 1953 Topps Baseball Wrapper Art cards on sheets of paper too and tried to sell them on eBay as well. Which by the way is unauthorized use of a Topps product, especially if you’re trying to sell it.

I for one appreciate you bringing all this to light for us.

I too am hoping it was a simple wording error in his title and not something more malicious, but until we hear from topps*now, we can't be sure either way.

It currently "looks" bad, given what's been posted so far. I hope we see more to prove one way or the other.
