Not sure which one it will be and knowing topps you are probably correct that they threw in /75 base for 10 of the auto subjects.
/75 base autos, as expected. Most of the big name guys are going to be tough.

The base last year were awesome... The color really popped. The color this year doesn't stand out at all... It gets lost in the wacky design in my opinion.

The autos are definitely better than last year... They're ok this year, but with the bazillion products coming out, these will just get lost in the mix. A year down the road these will be lumped in with all the Tier One, and other bland designs that Topps is pumping out non stop

Last years I think were way better. But maybe these will look better in hand

Looks very similar stylistically to the "Super 70's" set that was released last month....

I like the designs, but not enough to do any set-building...will probably just buy a couple of singles...

Am I stupid or do they not list all of the Auto Parallel odds? I only see Purple, Red, and Platinum odds.

Bet the big names only have the rare color parallels too.

Wake me when we see some Trout /75 base autos.

Last year's Brooklyn set was terrific....one of the top five original designs Topps has come up with in the last decade IMHO....

The lack of big rookies outside of Alvarez and Robert for autos in this is crazy. No lux, bichette, Arozarena or lewis. Wow

I'd be surprised if the Trout, Jeter, Koufax, Aaron tier types were available above /10. At least the autos look nice.

I don't hate this year's design.
Auto is better than last year, base was better last year.
2018 autos are still the best looking ones. Especially the portrait version in base white border.

That's fair, it's possible. Just looking at the numbers, it makes sense that they're /10 or less this year. There are more color levels, so not unreasonable to think that changes it up a little from last.

True. That's why this is a hundred dollar product instead of $250.

Hopefully you will get a big one to put between your Paddacks and make them look better.

This won't lose value, but you are right, I don't see it going up much right now.

Got my set #5 and got the Steve Garvey Auto. Quite happy with that personally. He was always a favorite of mine in the mid 1970s as a kid. Set overall is incredibly cool. Nice job by Topps.
