Has anyone received and broken a set won through Topps' Diamond Giveaway site? I've heard that they have foil stamping signifying that they are different than a basic set purchased normally. Can anyone confirm this?

I've heard the same thing (on one of the forum threads). Actually, I have one from the diamond giveaway myself that I haven't even opened (and likely won't anytime soon) and another on the way.

See that logo on the left? All the cards in this set have that logo on it, so they are slightly different

Sweet. Thanks. I don't think I'll bust mine open when I get it but it's nice knowing. Do you know if they're in the ORG yet or are they something that probably won't?

They are listed in the ORG with n/a as a value. Bonds2001 broke a set.

leave it to my compulsive need to keep all my venters collection cataloged/scanned:


has the diamond anniversary foil stamp on the top left and "factory set limited edition" above the name. other than that identical to the base S1/S2 1-660 set with no SPs/special cards added in

if anyone has any question as to what any 2011 topps cards look like including a lot of the 1/1 parallels:
www.page63.com/cards/ click jonny venters in the top left corner there are front/back scans of all but 3 variations on there (missing the holiday set /75 foil, and the 2011 topps update wal-mart/target retail versions but will have those two soon)

I'm breaking up an extra set that I have and trading it in team sets priced at the Diamond Anniversary pricing. The first one (Chicago White Sox) is up on the trading board.

I know guys have made a killing on Ebay by busting them cause each player collector has had to drop $1 or so on the player they like cause its not obtainable hardly any other way.

I busted a set, took out the Giants etc..
I am not trading until pricing.
There are a lot more out there than the Allen and Ginter Glossy, which I got and broke up as well.
