The DiMaggio is kind of humorous (it a comi-tragic way) because you can see the start of it on the other side. It's like "Tell Joe to sit down."
|
I dont understand why they couldn't fold it, since the original was creased anyway. Let whoever wins it decide whether to keep as a card or pull it out of the case and display it whole.

Actually this card's flaw has nothing to do with the autograph, but with the picture, which is not an image of Joe Maggio, who played 5 years in the Yankee farm system from 1958-62. http://www.baseball-reference.com/re...d=maggio001jos |

It really makes you wonder about the knuckleheads they have designing these cards. I'd think this would have had much more potential for something nice looking.

Next break starts in 10 minutes at the link. Saw the Dizzy Dean cut auto boxtopper get pulled this afternoon, and it was actually done well. The card looks like it was designed for that cut. |
Yesh 22k?? Lol maybe $220
|
Seeing the cut up Matty auto really makes you wonder WTF those idiots were thinking about when they destroyed that piece. It's on fleabay for $19,999.95.
If it sold for $7170 last year at auction, does anyone think it has more value to it now that it's been defaced, phuc'd up and stuffed in a stupid topps holder? Still can't believe those idiots cut it up.... :eek: |
Well for the folks that bought these sets for an investment the market seems to have crashed. I won two cards on ebay one for $750 less than the highest sale of 6 days ago and another about $500 less than the highest sale of 8 days ago. Most cards can be had for far less than the price you would pay to get in on one of these breaks. The invitations to the Topps 65th anniversary party with Kris Bryant sell for over 3 grand. And a couple of the complete base and sketch sets sold for $6,500. But day by day the prices keep dropping. And for me anyway fun to watch..if anyone cares I got a Ichiro /25 and a Bonds /52. I wanted to spice up my 3000 hit and 500 HR displays..Happy Holidays..

$3K to stand in a crowded Vegas nightclub and quickly get to shake the hand of a major leaguer, while I drink a watered down screwdriver and eat a few carrot sticks dipped in ranch dressing.
Gee, where do I sign up. |
While I am still looking forward to participating in the set break, this cut auto of Campanella (or his crotch, really) is a travesty. I almost feel like this is a parody.

...I think there's a whole forum for that..... not here , of course... .. |
Yes, different board.

They should have designed the card around the autograph, not the other way around, or they should have sought out more suitable autographs to fit their design. Pure stupidity.

agree 100pct with dan

A good friend of mine told me this: Topps has figured out a way to sell the memorabilia item AND put their name on it. Answer to Bold Pt. 2 Nobody is pushing Topps to be better when it comes to baseball cards. They have the exclusive MLB rights. They can rush and be lazy as much as they want, and as long as people still buy baseball cards, they will be around because they are the only producer of MLB licensed baseball cards. I hate it. |
Quote:
Topps only has the rights until 2020. They have lost NHL to Upper Deck and NFL and NBA to Panini. Currently they only have MLS and MLB. MLS is a growing sport, but there is no way they will survive without MLB. I think Topps does a lot of things right, but they really need to take these suggestions to heart. |
Set break was tonight, streamed online. I had never done one before. It was pretty thrilling, which I wasn't expecting. The host was engaging with a touch of Don West DNA. The two biggest pulls in the case featured baseball icons Tupac Shakur (cut auto from a personal check) and Daisy Ridley (1/1 autograph...which gets the kids excited). I actually did very well with my two slots, getting limited parallel autographs of a soccer legend and a Cubs wunderkind. I checked ebay and both are currently going for crazy prices...So if I cashed in now, financially I could make a really nice gain and buy vintage with the profits. That sounds like a plan to me. This experience was like I imagine bungee jumping is like...a lot of fun to try once but kinda stupid and not worth the risk.

It seems as though Topps has found the literal meaning of the term "junk wax".

Tupac Cut auto would be a huge score

Signed checks go for $2,500. So one tenth of the entire cost.
