Topps releases preview of new Topps T206 set on Twitter

That's true; they'd look better as pointillist dotted images like the original lithographs.

On sale now. Price is steep and not much chance of autographs. I'm not nearly as interested.

So, ten card packs for $15 each? I guess it could be worse.

I popped for the 20 packs. I am an original T206 and Topps 206 junkee.

I never fell for the A&G or Gypsy Queen products though.

2002, 2009, and eTopps T206. The 2010 Topps 206 fell short for me.

I've been following the comments on Blowout Forums and people are wrapped up on the 50 subjects checklist and the back variations. I hope Topps surprises everyone with the "Pose" variations. They already do this with their Base Topps set, so why wouldn't they do it here? I suspect there will be more than 50 cards of the 50 subjects.

Well, there will be 250 total cards it seems, 50 per wave. So yes, Trout could come back with another pose. Not a fan of the Ty Cobb back being used, since most people don't really count it as a T206 and it should only go with Ty Cobb. I know they're a little more flexible than that when making these sets.

I bought 3 packs for the hell of it.

The packaging and the back variations were super smart. As someone who dabbles in T206 and mainly goes for vintage I haven’t been this interested in something new in a while. Wonder if the packaging is going to cycle through the different companies with each wave? That’d be enough to justify a pack or two each time!
