Topps Transcedent cards
Last night saw a Gehrig "common' sell for about $60. Not much for a 1 of 65. The high priced autos are sitting on eBay as far as I can tell. A little surprised that the Omar Vizquel auto listed for $14,999 wasn't snatched up the first day. Seems like a steal.

You joke about Vizquel, but last year there were two Venezuelan oil tycoons buying all his limited 1/1, 1/5, 1/10 cards for THOUSANDS, bidding each other up in an ego contest. Check worthpoint if you have an account. If you had the first one on eBay, it went for a ton. The second one fell off a cliff, and the third would sell for peanuts.

I'm a diehard Indians fan, and loved watching Omar play growing up. He was a magician. His stuff shouldn't be worth any more than the next borderline HoFer. I hate this Transcendent crap.

I believe not just Vizquel but also Galarraga were involved in those bidding wars.
Also, I would wager Topps Transcedent will become Topps most profitable product of 2016. Usually these super high end products do incredibly well for the companies in terms of both sales and profits. Regards Rich

Even at 65 cases at original list price of $27K/box, which dropped to $22K before selling out, Topps would only gross $1.75M. They print about 15K cases of Draft at $1K per case, which grosses $15M. Maybe on a per-unit basis the most profitable %-wise, but by no means Net Profit.

When you figured out your cost, did you include the cost of autographs and relics? Just curious. In many of these cases, the autograph cost for Topps is the same for this as for their lower end products.
I will rephrase this to say, I would wager this is the biggest percentage profit Topps makes on any issue rich
