Hey all,
Since the 2016 Topps Triple Threads Baseball product release late last year, I've been trying to collect each of the Houston Astros color parallel cards, numbered /25, /50, /99, /150, /250, and /340, in addition to some of the really nice relics/autos I've pulled from the product. Collecting the set (parallels for Altuve, Correa, Keuchel, Springer, AJ Reed) wasn't much of a challenge, except for one card. For months now, I've been looking for the AJ Reed Onyx parallel /50. I've been in dozens of group breaks, looked through eBay sold listings, and searched Facebook selling/trading groups and other forums, with no success. I reached out to Topps via social media several times and finally received a very, very generic response about how some cards are inserted in packs/boxes later than others...which, honestly, I don't understand.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I can't imagine it's possible for a card to not go to print...but the product released on September 28th and not a single one has shown up anywhere I can find. Thoughts?
Todd
