2016 Topps Transcendent

[4reals]

To top it off, apparently the door prizes for the guests in attendance at the anniversary party were pretty nice and now cards that were received are filtering onto ebay over the last couple days with some more nice Bryant cards, some Mike Trout auto'd cards /15 and a slew of 1/1 stamped cards released to only those in attendance. These cards also have a 65th logo stamp on them.

Those are hideous. Not a single autograph looks like it actually belongs on the card. I'd be pissed if I dropped that much money on a box of cards and pulled one of those. Your autos though are very nice. Do you mind if I ask how much your slots cost? Just trying to see if you were a winner.

That looks like a 12 year old version of a Wagner signature. Saw someone post a Greenberg that must have been juvenile aged, if it was real. That is some pretty crappy looking stuff for such a high end product. That guy who won the Clemente in a break must be dancing now. I assume that was a huge win for him.

That is a lot of scratch for a set of cards, but the base cards are really nice. I PC Reggie Jackson and picked his up on eBay for $25 a few weeks ago.

I agree, the cuts could have been designed better...at least fill the space designated for the cut. But regardless, owning something that scarce is pretty friggin' cool. The break spots were $146. If you hit an auto you made your money back and then some. I doubled my money overall but there were some guys who took a beating. On the flip side, for those who won a 1/1 got a really nice return and with only 173 spots the odds were good.

I did two breaks for the fun of it. I had a huge win in one break (over at The Clubhouse on FB...around $175 a slot I think, with some of the money going to St Judes) getting a Bryant /10 parallel and a Pele /25...The one I did on BO, which was far cheaper ($116) I did okay..Henderson /52, Clemente and Clemens base cards. So took a bath on the Clemens hit but overall did pretty well. And that's the extent of my Transcendent adventures.

The anniversary party invitations in the cases were selling for $2500-$4500 and were the reason there was a mad rush to break these cases open because the owner of an invitation had to rsvp within a week before the event on 1/18. Apparently, based on what I'm reading on other threads $2500 was a bargain considering all the limited cards that were handed out to the attendees. Among other things, each guest received a "swag bag" which contained:

1 Trout auto /15
1 Bryant auto /15
1 Random Transcendent auto /52
1 Bryant Party Card /65
28 1/1 cards or low #d autos
65 Bryant cards /65 (1952-2016)
Topps bag, jacket, hat

At BO they are currently breaking some of the swag bags they brought back from the party at $62 per spot
