I'm starting to think that Topps is trying to find the least internet-traffic time to post their cards so that the site won't crash again.
That maybe around 5:30 PM EST, when most people will be starting to leave office...

I think I saw someone mentioning he bought 3 sets.

I went with the 10 pack and 3 auto sets. I'll have to see what condition they are in and how they are packaged. If they look good, I'll submit all the cards from the auto sets to Beckett to see if I can create a "10" set. I'll have three chances with each base card.

I wonder if they will package it like the Cardboard Icons set with the first card being the cover card in a team bag. Or, will they use the slider cases? Probably the latter.

Go Cubs Go

IowaCubs1 · 11-03-2016, 03:10 PM

Ah I just want these to release! These are going to be pretty special for me! Yesterday was my birthday! So the cards are going to have WS Champs and the date will say my bday!!

finfangfan · 11-03-2016, 03:12 PM

I'm heading out in 20 and have to pick up pizza on my way home. I'm gonna miss it. Good luck fellas!

The site doesn't crash because of traffic on the internet, the site crashes because of traffic on the site.

The internet was working fine after the game last night, but as soon as the Champion Team sets went up, the Topps site wasn't.

Yeah, I meant what you said, my wordings weren't really clear.
People can't be accessing while going home in their car, so maybe Topps will post them up during that time, is what I was trying to say.

Though, that is probably not the case, and it is just the approval issues still pending.

That would be Un-American. Why would Topps want to crush the hard working office dwellers by putting them up when people are in their cars?

It's the East Coast Dealers they want to crush...give the actual real life Cubs fans a chance...so they will do it very soon (like before 4 CST)

YankeesKRD · 11-03-2016, 03:29 PM

Hopefully before 5pm EST because it's happy hour time....which means, beer....which means looser wallet.....which means bad choices on Topps Now! haha

douggoodman · 11-03-2016, 03:32 PM

I don't think they are putting nearly as much thought into it as anybody thinks they are.

I think once they have confirmed / approved all the designs they put them up.

Limited run Cubs cards are going to sell out in less than an hour. That was shown yesterday afternoon, and underlined last night when the team sets (which will be available for a week, and have an unlimited supply) crashed the site.

NorCalSCM · 11-03-2016, 03:49 PM

GO..................................................................JUST A TEST. Get ready. Its coming.

Stop making us nervous! haha

::fingers crossed:: 5pm

TimBuckTwo · 11-03-2016, 03:57 PM

Do I put everything in one bag or try to pick them off one by one ?

rutgersjpm · 11-03-2016, 04:02 PM

At least we know it's not refreshing that causes the site to crash. Those timeout requests are due to site changes.

I would say in the same bag only if your buying the /99 and /199. But, with that site, who knows, it always has problems.

As I also mentioned before, I think that is going to be very difficult decision if you are picking up any of the #/10s.
The #/10 might sell out while putting the other stuff in the bag or when trying to check out.
If #/199s and #/99s, I think you should be fine to put them all in one bag and checkout at once.

TimBuckTwo · 11-03-2016, 04:05 PM

Yeah thing is if one item gets sold out it just gives you unable to process then you gotta figure out what is what

okumeister · 11-03-2016, 04:06 PM

holy moly...

jubei777 · 11-03-2016, 04:07 PM

okumeister · 11-03-2016, 04:07 PM
