But sellers should check their cards before shipping if selling. I didn't spot the damage upon first checking the card. Hopefully there will be no issues getting one of the most desirable cards from the set replaced. Since bought from Topps.com, do I need to send an email to customer support along with the pictures and wait for a response and not submit the damage claim form? Any advice would be helpful.

Bringing this post back up since I received the supposedly re-made cards. I had to send Topps back an entire 8 card pack. My thought was that they were going to trash all 8 cards and remake those 8 cards to keep the integrity of the PR. But that is not what happened. Yesterday I received an 8 card pack but not one of the same card send back. And yes, that means no Ohtani #61. The only reason I sent the pack back was to get the Ohtani re-made. They do this with damaged LS and TN cards all of the time. I have already sent an email and will also be giving Topps a call about this issue.

Was the new GPK On-Demand mentioned in the e-mails? No one has mentioned it.

Yeah, saw it at the end of the email yesterday. I don't collect GPK so didn't think much about it. Thought it was interesting to see something in the On Demand section for Topps finally with the new re-design.

I want to give a shout out to Minerva at Topps Customer Support for her assistance in clearing this up. I contacted Topps and they realized the problem and corrected the issue. I received my Ohtani card in perfect condition very quickly. If Jeeves reads this, please send Minerva a thank you!

Anybody else order those on-demand "ABCs of GPK "coloring books?
I see the print run was 1,000 on the dot. I went with three in the hopes of getting one each of the bonus card color variations, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll be happy with 2 different. I wonder if they made 333 of each card, or if the numbers are staggered by the color. I'll report back once I've received my trio.

I had interpreted it completely differently. I thought there were 3 variations of all 26 on the checklist. I didn't buy any though.

I bought 6 hoping to get two sets of bonus cards.

When I ordered, there were many days left in the ordering period. Topps even sent out a couple more email reminders to get more orders. Then yesterday I get an email from Topps saying a case had been opened and it is now resolved that I am only getting 4 of the 6 that I ordered. Case closed.

I’m going to wait and see how all this plays out before I get upset.

[jdandns]

Hmm, that's not good. I hope you get one set, at least.
I ordered with at least a week left on the clock, too, but I did so because I got an email saying they were almost sold out. Sure enough, they were gone a day or two later.

[jdandns]

All good, here, boss.

Ordered 3 on January 27th for $30 and received them today, March 5th, so basically 5 weeks, not bad.



The square-bound magazine-size coloring books are more substantial than I thought they'd be (I'm thinking of you, certain previous Topps On-Demand GPK comics that were more like pamphlets) and more importantly, I got a full set of the 3 color variation Adam Bomb promo cards. I wonder if the cards are evenly produced. Whatever, it's sharp looking and I think the cards alone will justify the cost of it all sooner than later.





The cards were in Topps-stickered top-loaders as shown, not shrinkwrapped to the coloring books, which is nice as that helped keep both the cards and the books in nice shape. All of it was in the big padded manila that many-a-careless carrier would be greatly tempted to fold over, but that was housed inside a tagboard paper mailer, the kind that would tear if they folded it over, so I think that'll mean nice condition on this stuff for most people.

If there are 1,000 of these coloring books, as it seems, I think these will be collectible, and obviously, at even a perfectly split 333 for each different color card, that's still low print run for a GPK with the iconic Adam Bomb on it. If production runs of the card colors actually were staggered, the most SP card would be most valuable indeed.

Good stuff. Good luck to the rest a'ya.

The 2018 on demand 3D sets, with the incredibly popular and increasingly valuable (for other rookies) Ronald Acuna, peaked several months ago and is not really moving the needle - at least upwardly. Makes me wonder why we buy these topps now (and demand, etc.) products when one that should be doing very well is struggling. I mean as a collector buying one set - that I get - but for dealers to buy in quantity i just can't really understand any more.

Unsure where to ask this, but does anybody have an extra 2018 Dynamic Duals Blue Trammell/Morris? Willing to buy!

On Demand Soccer looks like it Sold Out.

Looks like the top RC cards are starting to move that needle.
