OT New $22,000.00 set from Topps..

[bigfanNY]

Well for the folks that bought these sets for an investment the market seems to have crashed. I won two cards on ebay one for $750 less than the highest sale of 6 days ago and another about $500 less than the highest sale of 8 days ago. Most cards can be had for far less than the price you would pay to get in on one of these breaks. The invitations to the Topps 65th anniversary party with Kris Bryant sell for over 3 grand. And a couple of the complete base and sketch sets sold for $6,500. But day by day the prices keep dropping. And for me anyway fun to watch..if anyone cares I got a Ichiro /25 and a Bonds /52. I wanted to spice up my 3000 hit and 500 HR displays..Happy Holidays..

$3K to stand in a crowded Vegas nightclub and quickly get to shake the hand of a major leaguer, while I drink a watered down screwdriver and eat a few carrot sticks dipped in ranch dressing.

Gee, where do I sign up.

While I am still looking forward to participating in the set break, this cut auto of Campanella (or his crotch, really) is a travesty. I almost feel like this is a parody.

There it is! Honestly don't know what they were thinking. That card should be numbered WTF1.

It seems as though Topps has found the literal meaning of the term "junk wax".

They could have done a bit better job. Not sure that card does it for me ...

Oh, man. Are they kidding. That's beyond ridiculous. A crotch shot. Nice. Who wouldn't treasure that.

Yes, different board.

They should have designed the card around the autograph, not the other way around, or they should have sought out more suitable autographs to fit their design. Pure stupidity.

When I first read this set/series had sold out, I was thinking, which was against my original thoughts, that those that purchased this set will now likely make out like bandits, but after seeing the mess they made of the cards and what they did to some great memorabilia, the only Bandits around are those at Topps.

Set is a JOKE, A sucker born every minute
