Can you show a picture of the reattached sticker? Sorry if you posted already.

I will leave 3 data points - number of followers on IG - interpret as you wish.

Ermsy has 102k followers
Ben Baller has 1.4M followers
Blake Jamieson has 2354 followers (as of 21 May 2020, 14:08 EST)

It's print run now. If it was the followers initially, the early print run would be higher. They are very low for a reason (hence the title of this thread). However, the initial Ichiro and Trout DID get a lot of positive responses.

Moving forward, it will be player, artist, then print run because a lot more people are aware of and buying into the current Topps releases. People will want the player and artist in order to continue runs or get the cards they actually want. Projecting forward, print runs will decrease this amount of $100+ cards due to higher availability. Kudos to the people that bought in cheap early!

Griffey King Saladeen- cheaper than Trout Ermsy, better looking and is both the low Griffey and low King

I'd expect both the McGwire and Jeter to be over 20K, then.

I wonder if it's just the cards coming from a specific location, or only something with bulk orders. My Siff Ripken and Thiele Koufax just showed up and both are in magnetic one-touch holders. They're the crappy no-name ones, but better than snap-tites I guess.

These numbers IMO signal the set is made to demand, I don't think there's a production number set when they release the cards, especially when the sales window is fixed.

Same. I went a bit lower on the Mays/Jackie because I suspected all eyes would be on Mac/Jetes and there would be some sustainers due to expected high PRs. Looks like it doesn't matter any more and we're full steam ahead on these. Probably goes without saying, but find your desired sub-3k issues now while you still can!

I agree,It doesnt look like (Taylor),is really into this...But,Some of the others have really picked up their game since this set started.which,in turn has me wringing my hands to see whats next!!

[ThoseBackPages]

i know im alone in this feeling, but there are no "wow, this is a must buy!" when its over $30 for a base card from this set

This is exactly how it is.

*Go live
*48hrs to sell as many as possible
*Once it ends, the amount sold is the final print run

Yikes! Not so much of a rain man today (I was way low on my guess). Maybe the ESPN article had an impact on the new releases. Bumping up my estimates for tomorrow.

McGwire 19k <== Blake’s gonna be pleasantly surprised
Jeter 20k <== Anakin Jeter out-duals USA Mac (barely)

Both PR’s surge because the cards rock and PRs are trending higher.

I’m floored by the print run of the Chang and the Cartoon!!!!

Unfortunately for me,I thought the exact opposite.To me the smoke around Trouts body looked like his intestines and I just didnt get it
