Default Craziest set of the century -So far.

I finally had a look through Ebay at some of the 2014 Chipz.

The checklists I've found don't even begin to explain how crazy a set this is.

Seven colors.
And as far as I can tell each can come with a regular player picture, Gold foil, or magnetic. Plus the glow in the dark.

That's 2200 different.

I'm not sure yet if the glow in the dark and gold foil can also be magnetic, which would push it out to 3500.

I have one pair with the laces on the "ball" pointing both up and down.

So maybe as many as 7000.

Not counting the mascots and memorabilia, or the team stickers. The stickers come off very easily, so they'd be trivial to fake, but I have gotten red and silver border ones with team stickers from packs.


It's nowhere near knocking 98 Topps Tek off the number one spot (At 16,200 cards!) But it's still pretty crazy.
And it probably won't stay in the top spot for long, Tek is supposed to be back in November, at around 9600 cards.

For comparison, regular Topps with all the parallels runs around 3960 cards per series and that's beginning with a 330 card set. And Bowman with a dual 220/110 card set is around 4950. And that's including the 1/1 stuff, which Chipz supposedly doesn't have. (Although I'd almost bet the gold border gold foil are close)
