Beautiful! Looking forward to my Jackie and Ricky. Wish I had picked up a Ryan!

So, my #42 that was supposed to be delivered today from Topps is still “in transit”. Sigh.

Great choice, I have a Thiele Trout but otherwise cant afford to add another artist. I'll be picking up his T-shirts in his shop though down the line.

Just picked up 2 more Mister Cartoon George Brett. That Blue border just lures me in.

Can't wait to see what he does next.

LA Originals on Netflix will only lure you in more.

Cartoon is massive and his Trout will run very high

knuckleballerMC · 05-16-2020, 09:09 AM

Let's take some more print run guesses: Don C's Frank Thomas and Efdot's Ted Williams.

Thomas: 10,805
Williams: 7,217

gmoney328 · 05-16-2020, 09:24 AM

Legitimately starting to wonder, again, just how long the lag is going to be to actually receive these cards. Especially with print runs going up exponentially. I'm still buying sporadically, but sounds like they really have no idea when they're going to send them.

I don't love this. I do get why it's happening though.

I saw that last weekend. Really enjoyed it. I'd like to see him incorporate more of his style into these cards. Like the way he did Roberto Clemente name. If he does a clown face on one... Especially Trout since he is LA...it's over!!

I agree. Topps definitely intended this to be a buy and receive quickly type program. Hopefully we can start getting cards in. I didn't start ordering until the "bottleneck" began.

Yes, Topps certainly could not have accounted for COVID-19

The Baller Trout was also unexpected, IMO

ThoseBackPages · 05-16-2020, 09:31 AM

as long as youve ordered from Topps, you should be ok

This delay may help value as strange as that may sound....

There you go again. How does flippers and investors ruin this? You called it from the beginning that this set would be great, right? So you should have everything you need up to this point. And the price point does not change on new releases. So do tell how it's being ruined? You keep repeating that over and over for some reason.

I agree about Covid obviously affecting pretty much EVERYTHING. Just kind of sucks. I guess at the end of the day, people have much bigger problems to face right now.

I consider myself and my family fortunate, so far.

hanstess · 05-16-2020, 09:42 AM

I ordered a 2-card bundle on 4/22. Got an email saying it shipped on 5/8 but when I click on the tracking number it shows delivered on 4/8...

Been going back and forth with their clueless CS department trying to get a correct tracking number.

cavsfan70 · 05-16-2020, 09:52 AM

I've ordered quite a few so far.

I've only received the Baller Thomas. Baller Trout's will be here today. I've got 9 more coming after those....

yes, but that unfortunately may lead to unsavory pre-sellers getting greedy by saying "oh man, im sorry my order didnt arrive"

ohhhhh! were they able to get it into the printed copy? LOVE IT!

Silas Barnaby · 05-16-2020, 10:11 AM

Anyone else picked a card in the set they are not crazy about and tried to find a rookie that same year that you would have used instead?

For me its using Kirby Puckett instead of Dwight Gooden from the 1985 Topps set.

Much more interesting card. Puckett in that baby blue uniform, the great Twins logo.

Also diversifies the roster. With three Yankees, two Mets, two Brooklyn Dodgers and a NY Giant the teams from the Midwest could use some love.

Considered Roger Clemens but his card isn't as interesting and Boston already has Ted Williams.

(I can't figure out how to add a picture.)

I had the same issue with my card showing delivered in Texas a month before the card shipped. I don't live in Texas.

I haven't contacted them, but it's not unusual for USPS to re-use tracking. It should update properly once it gets its first real scan.

Unless maybe they told you otherwise..
