So it could be today? Surely before end of the week?

And there it is...RTO...wait, what?

MLB Network Top 100 cards!

"Chance" at Auto or Parallels, but no guarantees...
Anyways, gonna wait for the Top 100 announcement, and till Topps puts up the auto subject checklist.

cj828282 · 02-11-2020, 04:08 PM

And rewards points don't count?

okumeister · 02-11-2020, 04:09 PM

And we are safe to assume that this will be 100 base card set right?
Can buying 10 packs "guarantee" a full set? Or totally random cards per pack?

I guess Topps will start answering these questions gradually.

I imagine this will be similar to Topps Futures with random cards.

This one has 10 set bundle option available (which gives discount of $5 per pack vs. buying 10 packs individually), so I thought it might be possible that Topps guarantees full set.
But you are probably right that it will be random, because even themselves probably won't know which cards are in which pack to create a full set.

We'll see what happens.

yrocks2001 · 02-11-2020, 04:17 PM

I really don't know what to think of this set. Might be cool if they have some big name autos and if they were seeded about 1:5 packs but much more likely they will be 1 in about 10 or more if a ton of people purchase.

Don't they need to give some odds?

No not really as it will be based on how many are sold. There are 189 autographs and 189 parallels of each of the players.

If they sell 10,000 packs and there are 945 autographs those will be about 1:11 packs. if they sell 5,000 packs and there are 945 autographs they will be about 1:6 packs.

yrocks2001 · 02-11-2020, 04:31 PM

By comparison Topps sold just over 10,000 Futures packs but I have to imagine that window was much longer and there's a more fun aspect to it than this set. Futures were also cheaper as well.

Agreed.

Then we have to wait 2-3 months for them to be shipped.

I put 10 sets in my cart, but haven't decided if I will purchase or not.

The autograph subject list will obviously be the best since it is the top 10 today, but they will also likely be sticker autos. I don't know how they will be confident to have the top 10 players autos available, but then again that is what I hate about stickers. However, since Topps Now isn't supposed to be stickers. The set seems interesting to me, but like the rest of you, I need to know a little more before dropping $250 for the 10 packs.

I think I read their auto description to be on-card.

MLB Network is counting down Top 100 for next 3 days...doubt you will find out Top 10 from Topps until the TV program is over. Autos/parallels announced each day and probably sprinkled though out the Top 100.

NYY · 02-11-2020, 07:19 PM

Received shipment notice for the Cole yankee auto. Excited for this one.

My guess would be 9,450 packs. With 1890 parallels and 945 autographs that would put the parallels at 1:5 packs and autographs at 1:10 packs.

Base would be 945 sets.

Hoping it is less!

It would be a hard pass for me at 945 base sets

ClevelandIC · 02-12-2020, 03:38 AM

I blindly used my points and threw 10 packs in my cart. I’ll try anything twice.

unless they say that all signers are signing at all levels based on past Topps products they wont have 189 of each player in the packs.

notoriousrmb · 02-12-2020, 11:13 AM

I've gotten burned waaaaaaaaay too much on these On Demand type sets to commit to this one, even though I love the Topps Now program.

Fsegaud · 02-12-2020, 12:32 PM

Bichette, Vlady Jr. and Y. Alvarez noted as autos already...only two left to be revealed.

#99 and #100 get autos....kind of silly.

Bichette and Alvarez get parallels too...kind of sucks that they get both.
