What do you guys suggest?

Keep it. If anybody gives you any flack over the condition, tell them they can always buy the other one.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I can't appreciate the card and I was pumped to pull my first 1/1. But I also don't think I'm being a complete spoiled brat by being bummed it wasn't in better condition.

Still gonna look nice once I get it into a one touch and displayed on my desk!

Its just a corner thing- Topps says they guarantee 7/8's from the pack; that falls in that range. Grading is just the worst and has changed the mentality of the Hobby. It's a great card with its imperfections and all!

Hey guys - I've ripped ~$1750 of retail S1 and have a ton of golds, rainbows, inserts, etc. that I'm not going to keep. What's the best way to sell? I'm not looking to squeeze out every last cent. Would rather just move quickly for a fair price.

I'd be interested in ALL of them- just PM me if you want to get rid of them all in one deal.

But to answer your question, best way is to sell singles- its a slow, slow burn

there’s nothing wrong with being bummed, it’s just an issue when someone wants to send back every hit they got that wasn’t a gem 10. the reason gem 10 commands a 3-5x premium over raw is that most cards aren’t gem out of the pack.

Just finished off my hanger case (64 hangers). No idea why you'd open Hobby versus these.

Main Takeaways:
10-12 base of each of the bigger rookies (Bohm, Pache, etc)
4 Relics
1 Auto (Pearson /25)
1 /76 (Vlad Jr hand sanitizer lol)
1 /70
3 /299 Speckle
3 /499 Speckle
4 SPs

Forgot to count how many Gold and Rainbows, but I think they fell 1 every 3rd hanger.

I got this at MSRP, but really hard to lose on these IMO, especially if you are trying to stack RCs.

Trueblue · 03-30-2021, 06:17 PM

Pulled this one just now out of a retail hanger. Was a bit surprised. /25

I opened a tin today... every single card had one gnarled corner and one noticeably bad corner. #@#@#@#@ happens. Messed up a perfectly good rainbow
Kyle Lewis and a gold. Oh well

IlliniBear · 04-01-2021, 06:34 PM

Hangers have bangers. Bought three from Target today and hit two rookie SPs, Bobby Dalbec and Ian Anderson. Also got $10 off $50 so the hangers were $8 apiece.

All in all a fun rip, I really like the inserts. 1986 Topps was the first set I started buying. Also the 1990 Topps are beautiful.

IlliniBear · 04-01-2021, 06:34 PM

Also those 1952 Chromes are gorgeous.

glassofwater · 04-01-2021, 06:45 PM

I found 5 tins today at 2 targets. These are loaded, y]besides the chrome 70 which are wesome to bad they didn’t do #colored versions. You are guaranteed either a silver/gold/iced/sp in every tin better odds than any format at 14.99 plus boat loads of all the rookies

Can you confirm if the tin exclusive insert contains the rookies? I think it was said before that it would NOT but just wanted to confirm now that these are out. Would be a big deal I think if you could pull the rookies as well with an exclusive insert but I'm guessing that is not the case.

I’m confused what rookies?

Can you hit any of this year's rookies in the tin exclusive insert or is it all just veterans? I'm referring to the 70 Years of Baseball insert that is exclusive to the tins.

There are no RCs in the 70 Years of Topps insert set so there are no exclusive tin RCs. Hope this helps.

I have only opened 7 tins, and no rookies yet. I don’t know if that’s a large enough sample size

Yep, that's what I was wondering. Thank you. I think you might have been the one to mention before this was likely the case but just wanted to confirm now that this is live.

I've seen some comically bad Bohm colors. This doesn't even include the Platinums & Blacks that almost all have white corners, and the white base cards that look like the blade struggled to cut the cards.

IlliniBear · 04-01-2021, 11:31 PM

I heard on a youtube video that Topps was going to be releasing a 1952 Chrome set or something. Is this verified and are there any details?

Do we have any idea about the print runs for the blue, yellow, and purples of series 1?

UCCF · 04-02-2021, 09:00 AM

Those colors are actually pretty well centered. The ones I've seen - especially the green - are struggling to keep the whole picture on the card.

Finally got my tins, and started breaking them last night. Most of this is accurate. The exclusive chromes are actually refractors too, which make them even more amazing. Might be one of the best insert sets in recent history. And I, for one, and glad they didn't include RCs in the set. Too many times a set gets impaired with that inclusion where after a few years pass everyone says "why is that guy in the set?" I'd love to keep a set for myself, but I think these are going to sell for A LOT.

I did make one slight fix to the quote. There are some tins that don't have a parallel, but not many (maybe 1 every 10). Although some have multiples. Hits seem to be more frequent too. In 25 tins so far I've pulled 2 relics & 1 auto. Will have a better determination after the sample size increases. SPs are flipped in these configurations.
