First Buzz: 2020 Topps Series 1 baseball cards

I’m hooked on hanger boxes. I bought 24 and these are highlights.

Koufax has a really bad corner it’s a ssp, would Topps swap it? Never done it before

Tasty! That’s a great find. Mis-listed?

Surprisingly no ... one of those multi-card listings, I was just looking for Sean Murphy ... had the Murphy listed for $1.50 with $1.25 shipping, and the Nico was $2 with free add'l shipping.

Looks like Master sets are under $300 now....

I'm sure this has been covered here, but I can't go back through all of the pages.

I collect the gold cards of my team every year.

This year, in putting my guys in the binder, I notice some of the gold cards have a much, much lighter color than others. Did they just simply mess up with some of these?

The White Sox Tim Anderson gold card looks more beige or tan.

Yep. They set the opacity of the colors on the parallels too low. So too much of the background color shows through, resulting in different shades of gold, or blue or yellow or whatever.

Thanks Salt. That explains it.

Are the collector tins regionally packed? I just opened one that 8 Astros plus a turkey red Astro and Springer HR challenge and a Bagwell decades best. Crazy number of one team. And that's the second one I've gotten at least similar to that.

I’m halfway between Miami and Atlanta. I opened one yesterday, my first one, and there was only 1 Rays card (Meadows Turkey Red) and no Marlins (This is a good thing!). 2 Braves base cards. I’m sure these are packed randomly like everything else. I probably had more Astros cards than any other team. Lots of Astros on the checklist so that makes sense.

Hey all, hoping for a little help here. Purchased a couple hangers of S1 from Target today. Opened the first one … and it appears to have been resealed with a bunch of scotch tape. They must have carefully opened the box and glued it back shut. I've never seen anything like it.

I'm not going to bother opening the tape because my assumption is the pack was picked through. Will Topps amend this? I have the receipt in addition to the photos.

[Zeldafanatic15]

Topps might tell you to return it to Target, which is what I would do. Will also let them know this is happening if they don't already know. Happened to me a few months back when I bought a Dragon Ball Super TCG booster from Target, the hanger ones wrapped in cardboard. Someone had slit the top open, pulled the booster out and took the rare and foil cards, then sealed it back up. I returned it and went to look at the others, out of 40ish packs about 35 of them were all resealed. I took them to guest service and asked if we could check them cause I wanted to buy whatever wasn't opened, and I figured they'd want to know. One of the lady's actually remembered the guy who returned all them, since it was kind of abnormal to return a ton of TCG booster packs. He claimed he bought them for his nephew, but said they were the wrong kind. Wound up buying the still sealed ones, about 4 I think, and ironically enough pulled the rarest card from the set.

Just opened a target ton and it was missing all the turkey red cards. Only had 68 cards in it also. Anyone else have this issue. I'm pissed.

[CubKings]

Ive opened 1 rack pack and 3 Tins of Series 1.
Best cards:
Yordan RC
Alonso Gold /2020
McKay SP RC

And this /76



First time pulling an Independence Day card and it's a HOFer.

[hotcalsun]

Decided to open a HTA case I had sitting around. Last box, last pack pulled this nice Yordan 1/1.

That’s a great looking card! Congrats!

I'd purchased 5 tins from Wal-Mart (all but Judge) and the best card was this 1985 Bo Bichette autograph.



Went to Target today and found tins of Vlad, Bellinger, and Judge. Passed on the Judge that would've completed my tin set because it had a little ding, but I got the other two. Nothing great in those, but I was glad to find a pair of Vlad Jr. highlight cards in those, instead of Hoskins. I didn't know Target had the tins or a different player set. Guess I shoulda been reading this thread!

I was trying to put a second set of 6 tins together for a cousin so I bought a Judge and Trout tin at a Walmart in hazelhurst I think I got rewarded for doing something nice for my cousin. In the Trout tin I pulled a yordan Alvarez Independence Day Rc 20/76 sold it on eBay last night for 450 dollars.

[jdandns]

Wow, nice shot of instant karma!
The Bichette Auto I got was in a Bellinger tin.
L.A. team players for the win.

That's crazy. The Miggy I pulled was also from a Trout tin. The first one I tried.

I'm still seeing 2020 Topps Tins all over the place that i've been leaving for the kids. Worth a pick-up?
