One that would show me some love
Not gonna lie
Spent $200 on the fly
Did some quick research
Kinda knew what it would be worth
But that cover charge
includes sets, one large
Hoping to profit a little
And not just some change for some Skittles
So far it's been ok
at least for me
Have a set incoming
with a sticker auto. Yippee /s
But they told me first so no surprise there
I appreciate that, it's kinda like they care
The $1k pack I passed on
Maybe a little premature
But those thousand dollar buyers
Mostly disappointed I'm sure

But 43 pages of reading
We've been here all along
Quite entertaining
except there's no song
Just this dumb poem
Which I know you read
Ok I quit
This post is dead.

There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, it, what's been up? Man how's your product?
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground stuff that you did with Harper
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the stuff you did with Soto too, that stuff was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan

Sounds like we have a Rap Battle going down! Too Bad I can't contribute!

Anyone hear (or speculate) anything on those sets that were supposed to ship in 3-4 weeks according to the Brooklyn Collection email?

Recently someone posted that they had a 1lb package incoming and were not supposed to get anything from anyone else. Although someone here said that before and it was something they forgot about, replacement I think.

Dear Topps, I wrote you but still ain't callin'
I give you my money, Winter, Summer, Fall, Spring and Autumn
I sent two letters, both SASE, you must not-a got 'em
Probably busy proofing stickers autos or somthin'
Sometimes players scribble too sloppy when they jot 'em
But anyways, some joined the club but no $1K email?
I know you probably hear this everyday, but that's a #Toppsfail
I like the underground vibe that you did with Club 582
But make a plan, promote properly, c'mon man
I like the art deco lost design, that style is fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
Sincerely,
a broke man

Your's is way better than mine.

It's year-end and Topps is getting nervous
They know they have poor customer service
But they need to improve the bottom line
So the company's investors will not whine
Roll out the Montgomery Club
Tease it with stars but fill it with scrubs!
Then offer members the "high-end" Brooklyn Collection!
But it's an overpriced product that's found no affection
The situation is dire
It's a full-on dumpster fire
For Topps, it must be a bummer
That we aren't all Dumb and Dumber

[Mattsurewood]

Joined a club, exclusive, Topps sent the email
Geared towards dudes, not many females
Pictures on cards with autographs
Weak designs, creating lots of laughs
Saw promo sheet, dropped a thousand bucks, scary
Got my George Springer card in the box, felt Dumber than Carrey



It's all about the 5-8-2, no doubt
I'll get my sticker auto soon, never a Trout
The execs up at Topps must be having a time
Watching us fools spend our hard earned dimes
On cancelled designs that were never made
Got us club members drinkin that Montgomery Kool Aid
Not Ripken, not Acuna, or even a Soto
They sent me a box that was weak as a mofo

If your're untalented like myself, just take the lyrics to a song and change them around:


It starts with one (e)mail
I don't know why
I even ever clicked it, Im a stupid guy
Keep that in mind
These designs were so fly
One look at them it,
Made me high

Brooklyn is an exclusive thing,
Watch this box break as my heart rate swings,
Justin Upton purple auto is what i say,
The wallet empties itself away
It's so unreal

Don't look out below
Tossed this crap straight of out the window
Ill try another box 'cause you never really know,
Bernie williams auto redemption, here comes another throw

I kept everything to PC
'cause when I tried to sell, no one wanted it
What it meant to me
Will eventually be a memory of a time when

I paid so much
And didnt get sqaut
I didnt even get,
The introductory email,
I had to join,
To have the chance buy,
But in the end,
I wasted a thousand dollars....

One thing, this club is so tight,
Sticker auto with my set isnt even in sight,
Keep that in mind
These designs are so fly,
The reject pile is where they went to hide.
I spent so much
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like my wallet was part of your property
Remembering all the times you shorted me,
I'm surprised it got so
Things aren't the way they were before
$1000 doesnt even guarantee a score,
Not that The Mint is any good,
But if I could toss it back, you know I would
You kept everything in the vault,
And even though I bought, you sent me all the junk

What it meant to me
Will eventually be a memory of a time when
I paid so much
And didnt get sqaut
I didnt even get,
The introductory email,
I had to join,
To have the chance buy,
But in the end,
I wasted a thousand dollars....

I've maxed my cards, for you
Maxed as far as I can go
For all this
This boring ugly-ass crap show.....
I've maxed my cards, for you
Maxed as far as I can go
For all this
This boring ugly-ass crap show.....

I paid so much
And didnt get sqaut
I didnt even get,

I had to join,
To have the chance buy,
But in the end,
I wasted a thousand dollars....

Yo members of BO Nation,
Why you hatin'
The things we do,
We do for you.
You buy and buy to fill the needle,
We can't be blamed, our $%#+ is legal.

Yeah, errors are showin'
But profits are growin'.
We print cause we can
Even if you're no fan.
But we know we are fine,
Cause you've had no choice since '09.

With our license comes exemption,
Would you like another redemption?
I can't lie,
Sometimes we do try.
But all that matters in the end,
We aren't going anywhere my friend.

Thanks for your business everyone,
Topps

I prefer Haiku...


Wanted Brooklyn set
Used cash on update blasters
At half off instead

[Soxfanguy]

Harry Truman, Blue Jays, Red Sox, The Rays
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio
Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television
North Korea, South Korea, Machado
Rosenbergs, H-bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Soto, "The King and I" and "The Catcher in NY"
Eisenhower, Albies, England's got a new queen
Mariano, Liberace, Santana goodbye
We didn't start the boxes
It was always selling
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the boxes
No we didn't buy it
But we tried to fight it

Always easier to copy someones work than reinvent the wheel. Someone could easily top mine. We all get participation trophies!

Thought you got them good
Topps got your money both ways
Laughing to the bank

Well, shoot. I was wrong again. 2nd time this thread. Poor performance considering my low post count overall. Just got a late email saying it was a Harper redemption (last year's TTT). Got the FedEx email 20 hours before Topps thought to let me know.

[Soxfanguy]

We are the BO Shufflin' Crew
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you
We're so bad, we know we're good
Blowin' your mind like we knew we would
You know we're just buyin' for fun
Buyin' our stuff for everyone
We're not here to start no trouble
We're just here to do the BO Shuffle

There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, it's probably in Tennessee, that says, "Fool me once. Shame on... shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[DaRitz]

I forwarded all of the heartfelt lyrics to Topps.

They sent a response:

Thanks Topps.

Turned a promising Club into a poetry competition.
