So, the lesson here is Topps dangled a jewel encrusted shiny pyrite carrot and you degenerates fell for it, hook line and sinker.
What did we learn. |

I will be first to admit -- I actually through Topps was trying to and was going to put out something special. Turns out it was just a year end manufactured cash grab. My fault for being naive. It certainly won't happen again. I'm indebted to those that talked enough sense into me to not follow through on the Brooklyn disaster. For the few that pulled enough to break even, I'm happy for you.

I still think the 5 Montgomery sets have decent value, its just the Brooklyn junk that is a laugher

I'm not giving up on the $199 I spent, but I was very disappointed in what our 'exclusive' offer was.
The factory set with the logo will be nice, hopefully I don't get Henry Owens and Rob Refsnyder for all of my autos next year.

I'm not sure why the seller would choose to sell like this. It's only five cards. Why not sell them individually? Regardless, I'm interested to see the ending price here. I'm assuming it will be a pretty big loss, but we'll see. |

That's why you think that. Upton is the worst player in the checklist and Biggio is (arguably) the worst HOF on the checklist. For a $1000 investment, this is about as bad as you can do.

He could have hit a 6th card he’s keeping.

That's a good point, I was even lamenting for the seller that he got a weak box and no 6th card, but maybe he pulled an Ohtani or Acuna /5 and decided to dump the rest.

If the seller only got 5 cards in their box and not 6 then they are looking at a $400 net loss. Sad. Also, the seller's feedback leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't bid on this lot, even if the price was a steal. |

Aside from that, lets say he does get $600, that's 60% ROI. I open wax to build sets with a random box like TTT every now and then for fun. If everything I opened had a minimum (as this is considered a pretty low level box) 60% return, with a chance to break even or come out ahead, I'm in every time. We can all just go to the break section and see how many upper tier boxes return much less than 60%. That being said, I'm a fan of about 25% of these card's design and color combination and am very pleased I did not buy in. But from a pure $ perspective, there are far worse buys out there. |

Is it me, or is this picture Topps chose of Frank Thomas a perfect metaphor for their entire Brooklyn product?
