So, how many of these autographs will book for more than $75 for the base card?
For many of them, even the numbered ones won’t get that, not for a sticker auto product.
Is it always about what something is worth? Granted, $75 is a lot of money but the point is that for many, cards are about more than prices and speculation.
Beautiful….totally upset that Topps is gone for football……I’m still recovering from losing them in Basketball!
I bet Art Monk and YA Tittle will have a million autos in this Product. Don’t like the idea of hiding print counts on items with short checklists like this. Seems like they try to hide things to not allow collectors to determine the true value and odds of a product.
Way to fail on your way out the door, Topps. At least 4 of these players are listed with teams that are not on their Topps NFL Rookie card, and you might argue Jim Kelly belongs with the USFL Houston Gamblers but I’ll let that one slide.
I need to find a trade board, because if I get something I don’t want, it could be ugly. And I hope its Rod Woodson and not Ron. And I really want an Earl Campbell, and not Eddie.
I understand a Favre packers, who wants a Falcons? But Faulk rookie is clearly Colts not Rams, he had good years there. John Riggins a Redskins “rookie”? No way. Its J-E-T-S, JETS!
Chris Carter Vikings rookie? No. Many years with Eagles.
Hope this list is tuned up before printing.
That’s definitely not Brett Favre’s rookie card!
Misspelled ‘Chris’ Carter on the checklist (‘Cris’)!
I must say, I am sick and tired of reading whiny comments on every single new sports card set released by, whether it be about sticker autos (yes, I understand that on-card is more desirable, but enough is enough), or an “ugly design,” or “the old days were so much better,” or “that price is ridiculous, it will never be worth it,” or, for example, “why don’t they have more Cleveland players in the set,” etc. It seems as if no one has anything good to say about anything on these comments.
On that note, here is a positive comment. Way to finish an great run of football products, Topps (not sarcasm). Showcase your most famous cards of some historic HOF players, and, on tap of that, add an autograph. Sounds like an awesome idea if you ask me.
Thank you for mentioning that, Ryan….. The “hobby” today is all about making a buck… for me, its making the beautiful sets! That for sticking up for the “collector”
If I’m going to open a pack I need a reasonable shot at getting a card worth the money.
Most of these players are readily available on hard signed cards for less than $75 so it makes
zero sense to me to be the one opening the packs. The sticker autographs make it even less
likely.
A quick look on Ebay shows sales of cards from ALL of these players available at under $100.
Players like Art Monk can be had at $20.
There are so many ways Topps could have made this a worthwhile product.
Something as simple as a base set with one additional parallel card that was serial #’d.
It would have added maybe $3 to their costs, but it would have raised demand significantly.
Nice idea for a sticker inventory dump but really these packs are about $50 more than they realistically should be priced. Agreed that autograph cards, especially some of the most beloved players, should be appreciated it is difficult to argue the price tag when you can pick up limited autographs of many of on the checklist for $25 or less shipped.
This is a greed move by Topps plain and simple hoping to cash in on football fans that are distraught over Topps losing their football license, me included.
This looks like a Topps Archives set…without the base set.
