Yep, good call.
See, in my opinion, this is where Topps shoots itself in the foot with all the Bowman prospect stuff ... like, you're right, those will probably be the big names ... but I've already got a bunch of their Bowman cards from one or two years ago.
To me, whether or not Topps officially designates a RC with the little logo — or Beckett recognizes it as such or whatever — is irrelevant.
If I pulled a Bryce Harper card out of a pack in 2011, I don't really feel like I pulled his "true RCs" in 2012, you know what I mean?
At least last year, with Cespedes and Darvish being international players, their first cards in MLB unis (not WBC stuff) at least felt like RCs.

The hits look to be sweet but an initial look through the checklist left me saying WTF no Miggy base. Do I really have to wait till series 2 for a Miggy base?

I can't wait to see the pink border parallels in person. I think I may have to go after those as I bet a lot of manly men won't want to have those in their collections

Not to fear, tntmclmm, the initial checklist is 100 names, the set is 330, so he may still be in there.
I collect Dirk Hayhurst.

RE: Excitement Level for 2013 Topps Series 1 To Come out
This is the time of year when I usually get excited for the new releases. I would use part of my tax refund to buy a few boxes of Topps Series 1 and a few Heritage also but this year I have zero interest. I have been on the site and reading about the releases trying to kick start my interest in the hobby. Maybe by the time it gets released I will have some interest. Otherwise my cards will continue to sit in storage like they have for a month and a half.
