I would love to see all three in one week. To be able to flip through my set years from now and see all three in a row would definitely bring me back.

Nice! Was it just for the 3 cards pictured? I'm curious to see how much you impact the market once these get in buyers' hands!

Also, is that like a stack of ALL Markakis?! Take a good picture, in a few years if the set is around, it would probably become legendary!

I should have been more clear. Everything from Jackie Robinson and prior.

Well, they’re not 10s, looks like they took a light coating of white spray paint with that white frosting appearance.

Maybe 8’s, borderline 9’s. I’d send them back.

Yeah that’s my concern. With the way these seem to be graded on a curve I fear they could all probably 8s and in which case can’t be replaced.

Bad enough to be disappointed.

Probably not bad enough to be replaced.

I can only see what they say I guess. It’s still disappointing to see what in my opinion looks like garbage after all this time waiting. To their credit I guess, not many banged up corners.

Work in progress. That probably wraps it up for today. I need to stay on top of current stuff as well. But I put 7 hours into Living today. Moving on to Now.

Good call. I think David Wright for sure. Either today or next Wednesday. I’ll guess:

Wright
Nolan Ryan
Luke Voit

Was thinking they have to put Clint frazier in there at some point at a RC, but maybe not haha Assume we will start seeing some guys that may switch uniforms in the offseason soon too...

Default no way those are 8's

If the corners improvement is better that's a good thing. but hardly looks like a product to be proud of. I'm disappointed topps would send out that crap...
I wouldn't buy those on ebay.


Just looking for opinions.
