Anyone building?

gresh87 · 11-01-2022, 08:54 PM

Just curious to see if anyone is working on any special parallel sets, insert sets, etc.

Looking at the '22 Flagship Home Field Advantage, it seems every team is represented in the 1-30 set - kind of cool. Given the current prices of Julio, this might be one of the pricier sets one could be working on. That said, I want to see someone do it!

SERIES 1
1 Fernando Tatis Jr., San Diego Padres
2 Ronald Acuna Jr., Atlanta Braves
3 Bryce Harper, Philadelphia Phillies
4 Juan Soto, Washington Nationals
5 Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels
6 Pete Alonso, New York Mets
7 Aaron Judge, New York Yankees
8 Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers
9 Buster Posey, San Francisco Giants
10 Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Toronto Blue Jays
LHA 01 Derek Jeter, New York Yankees
LHA 02 Cal Ripken Jr., Baltimore Orioles
LHA 03 Ken Griffey Jr., Seattle Mariners
LHA 04 Roberto Clemente, Pittsburgh Pirates
LHA 05 Willie Mays, New York Giants

SERIES 2
11 Alex Bregman, Houston Astros
12 Luis Robert, Chicago White Sox
13 Christian Yelich, Milwaukee Brewers
14 Wander Franco, Tampa Bay Rays
15 Rafael Devers, Boston Red Sox
16 Yadier Molina, St. Louis Cardinals
17 Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Guardians
18 Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds
19 Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins
20 Ke'Bryan Hayes, Pittsburgh Pirates
LHA 06 Hank Aaron, Atlanta Braves
LHA 07 Babe Ruth, New York Yankees
LHA 08 Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dodgers
LHA 09 Nolan Ryan, Houston Astros
LHA 10 Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox

UPDATE
21 Bobby Witt Jr., Kansas City Royals
22 Seiya Suzuki, Chicago Cubs
23 Julio Rodriguez, Seattle Mariners
24 Ryan Mountcastle, Baltimore Orioles
25 Jazz Chisholm Jr., Miami Marlins
26 Sean Murphy, Oakland A's
27 Kris Bryant, Colorado Rockies
28 Alek Thomas, Arizona Diamondbacks
29 Corey Seager, Texas Rangers
30 Spencer Torkelson, Detroit Tigers
LHA 11 Tom Seaver, New York Mets
LHA 12 David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox
LHA 13 Rickey Henderson, Oakland A's
LHA 14 Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers
LHA 15 Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals

I'm still working on the '20 Heritage /571 & /999 sets. Side-builds are '20 Finest The Man and '21 Update Flagship Black Gold (better than Update Chrome IMO).

There have been close to 20 Kris Bryants from Update posted on eBay already from a product that's not a week old yet. Prices are extremely high for a card that seems to be pretty common. I'd wait these out, I can't see many of them being high dollar (besides the rookies) once people have moved on to other products.

NYJNYYFan · 11-02-2022, 10:27 AM

I've been thinking of putting the set together. It seems like the prices for most of the veterans have settled in the $30-40 range.

dale · 11-02-2022, 07:31 PM

I'm working on it but probably won't get the legends done. I did pull the Nolan Ryan from my first Series 2 hobby box. I also have two to trade (J. Ramirez & K. Hayes) that I pulled after buying copies. Preferably trading for ones I need.

BBases31 · 11-02-2022, 08:38 PM

Why do so many people care about the Home Field Advantage cards? Inserts are usually junk

kingchromium24 · 11-02-2022, 08:43 PM

I have all of series 1 and 2done and only missing 3 from update but I don’t have a single legend one—just can’t afford them

By the way is the Nolan Ryan pictured as an Astro or ranger in this set?

Nice! Looks like an Astro!

mfw13 · 11-02-2022, 09:51 PM

I've been working on the following insert sets:

2021 Gallery of Heroes
2021 Redux "1965" Black Chrome #/25
2022 Topps Heritage "1973" Box Toppers
2022 Topps Archives 1988 Big Minis

and

2022 Clearly Authentic "1955" autos

jduds · 11-02-2022, 09:59 PM

I'm doing the set minus the legends. It's not too bad as long as you wait a bit.

bblair_2002 · 11-02-2022, 11:19 PM

Working on the 2022 Topps Chrome Pink Refractors and 2021 Stadium Club Chrome Refractors and insert sets. Also slowly working on a 1972 Topps set.

corockies · 11-03-2022, 05:26 AM

Heck, I'm just happy to see a few people still build sets. Keep it up, all of you!

MiamiMarlinsFan · 11-03-2022, 09:56 AM

I’m working on the 2021 Bowman’s Best Heatwave insert set Atomic refractors. I’ll post a better picture when it’s completed.

15/30 collected so far.

Thanks! I’ve never collected a set before, so this has been an interesting experience. Especially the part about buying cards of players I usually have no interest in. But I’m having fun.

I saw someone post a complete Series 1 and 2 set of these. The thing that is really going to cost you is the Legendary HAs. The regular ones are roughly case hits, the LHAs are 1:54,806 packs for series 2, or roughly 1 in 190 case hits.

2015 Topps Update Retail Throwback Variations. Thought I had the David Ortiz, but still need to pick that one up.

ScottBreaks · 11-03-2022, 05:03 PM

Every year I put together a set of flagship (S1, S2 and Update) a set of Chrome and a set of Stadium Club. Outside of these I’ll also put together a few insert sets. One I’ve been working on for a couple years now is the 2020 Stadium Club auto set. There’s 101 cards, all on card autos. I have 88 of the cards so far and constantly looking for the remainders

Another set I’m working on is all of the Bowman 1st autos for Cubs players, in Cubs uniform at time of card issuing. So not including players who were traded to the Cubs after their 1st Bowman auto became available.

Haha, was it you that reached out to me about my atomic JRod heatwave prospect card?

For OP: I recently put together a set of 2022 Finest Flashbacks and I'm currently working on a set of 2022 TC Logofractor.

I also put that set together, along with the shoes one. Liked that it was a little different from the recent insert sets
