Topps Chrome Postponed

[Jaypers]

New release date 8/19, per their Twitter.

If this means they'll be able to insert more of the better rookie autos that's cool. If not......

[ForzaMilan92]

Let's hope for a strong auto checklist, can't imagine what else topps is postponing it for :confused:

[benjamincarm]

In your experience, how often to delays equal positive outcomes?

[WalterAZ31]

would be nice if this means they can get Correa auto in the set. Its too late for guys like Sano, Schwarber, Refsnyder

but maybe Correa, Russell, Syndergaard, Gallo

[ernieren]

It's that slim chance one more auto will make it in over a redemption . I doubt it i still see lots of redemptions. I'd rather see them put out the set then do an update set later on with all the other sets that have the live missing auto's or just not put in the product.

Well this guy never saw Jupiter assecending.

Wait that's a bad example

[benjamincarm]

I just don't get why they are so secretive with their checklist, causes for delays, some expectation on what to expect. I mean, they are making baseball cards, not electing the Pope. How about a little transparency, it couldn't hurt your credibility with the collectors.

Delayed Product Hype!!!

Remember Schwarber had a brief stint before, which was only a week or so after Correa's debut. It's not impossible both could at least have redemption autos.

+1. Hell, I'd buy you a beer for that post.

You are assuming Topps might ADD value. We both know that won't happen

Yes, we need a puff of smoke when they finally release the checklist

[NickM]

Don't forget the possibility of Lucky Redemptions.

I'm not assuming anything. Just pointing out Correa and Schwarber didn't debut that far apart.

Will E-Rod be in it??

[Jaypers]

Will E-Rod be in it??

How would I know?

[awz50]

How would I know?

Whoops I actuelly meant to put more, I was actuelly gonna say "Will E-Rod be in it, that's the real question."

Soo my bad.

He'd be a good addition, but Bryant/Russell/Thor/Gallo/Correa/Joc/Buxton/Matz will likely fetch more.

[Andrew Jones]

Delayed Product Hype!!!

Yep. It's like a broken record.

1. Product X is delayed;
2. Speculation of no/fewer redemptions or additional content (usually recent rookies);
3. Excitement ensues;
4. Product X is released; and
5. Wah-wah.

The delay is probably because the Topps Chrome presses are still churning out 2014 Topps Chrome Football.

No this means more Kendall Graveman and Buck Farmer.

[jdhaugh11]

This should be the best Topps Chrome baseball product ever with the amazing rookie class, but Topps will probably let us down by either producing too much or leaving out several of the top rookies.

Ha Ha so true!

Always bet on overproduction.

[mma138]

disgusting design . years from now if guys like Bryant is a major superstar . will topps chrome realy be "the" desired Bryant rookie card ? don't think so .......

[preakness]

probably delayed so that they don't have to compete with Wheeler Collection or Prospect Rush

Not sure if benchwarmers have anything being released in next few weeks

[padremurph]

Hoping Austin Hedges makes the auto rc checklist.

It won't be Update, Series 2, Finest, or whatever products he is in. Regardless of design, people want the classic brand and I think Topps Chrome will be the one.

Not saying that's necessarily right, but that's usually the case.

[Cavaliercards]

Eh bring on Bowman Draft already ;)

[Cubsfanp]

My guess is that they are delaying so that they can include more Michal Taylor and Steven Moya autos.

[death2redemptions]

Step 1: Postpone product to get people thinking they are adding more quality rookies and less redemption cards
Step 2: Don't actually do anything
Step 3: Profit from increase in preorders.

[blackbears86]

I'm in for a few boxes but I'm definately not holding my breath.....will topps pleasantly surprise us?

Expect a surprise, and you'll be disappointed. Expect the usual, and you may be surprised.

Very well said. I abide by this philosophy.

I disagree. I think design defenetly plays a role in what rookie a collector will want. I cant wait to see the 2016 design . it can possibly be as ugly as 2015 ......

[mma138]

the 2015 design was released the 2nd week of august last year . so hoping to see the 2016 design very soon

[Zoop]

Any word on when we'll find out why it was delayed, or will we at all?
