Default Buybacks

Nate, Most of my buybacks are from the original 2002 Topps T206 run. Not sure if it is just my luck or if the Series 2 Light Blue cards are more plentiful. But I seem to have the most from that series. Don't forget that there are also buybacks released as Topps Baseball History available in 2008 Topps Updates & Highlights at 1:1,384 Packs (I think hobby boxes are around $40). Not sure if it is worth it or not at those odds... Also the 2010 product has buybacks of buybacks, which I still don't know why Topps did I was hoping they would have used the white frames, like the GU and Autos, but I guess they took the easy out and just put in 2002 buybacks from all 3 series with no special markings (like buyback-buyback)....

Hello,

I have knowledge of this. The 2002 Topps 206 Series 1 has better odds than Series 2 and Series 3. I busted a Series 1 case and they were seed 1:110ish packs. I pulled four buybacks. The best one I have seen is a Mathewson portrait. Don't even attempt the 2009 or 2010 series for a buyback.....it's such a longshot and pointless.

I've always thought about buying one of this Topps t205 boxes with hopes of pulling a buyback. I thought they were one buyback a box. Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think they were one per box. I think it was either you get 2 Game Used, 2 Autos, or 2 Buybacks. But I thing most were GU or Autos. I believe they only had 1500 buybacks total. I havn't really done much with the 205's so I may be wrong....

Thank you so much for the info so far. I'm sure that this thread will help a lot of people get information about these intriguing T205/T206 boxes from Topps.

I bought a lot of this modern retro stuff in the past few years. Topps T205/T206 products are some of the worst retro stuff in my opinion (buy backs aside). Actual photography just can't reproduce the litho look of 205/206's. They screwed up the backs also with the gray paper.

Their Allen & Ginter stuff is top notch though, at least the first few years, it's degraded the past couple of years though.
