Has Topps made any guarantees that they will not go back and print more runs of cards once they sell? Seems as the market for these is picking up and the current runs consistently get closer to the 10-20k range the originals in the 1-3k range are becoming more and more valuable (even the ones that are pretty ugly).

I almost got in on these from the jump but thought it would be a pretty big investment at $20 a pop. I had the first two in my cart and never completed the transaction.
I think most of them have been really hideous and I would not have enjoyed having them in my collection from an aesthetic point of view. I do regret not getting in on them from a value perspective....my goodness. I really blew it here.

I followed them from begining and decided that at $20 each I would just order the Trouts I think that would be 20 cards. The fist card had a print run of 2911 seemed a little low based on watching living set. Then secondary market took off Trout was selling for $75 and first 2 cards for a couple hundred. Then second Trout card came out print run over 13 Thousand. The Trout took off quickly selling for $400 ( I sold mine) and many of the early cards also quickly went up. I continue to buy Trouts ,just one. And will hopefully rebuy the first later when prices tumble. I also sold my first 18 Topps living cards when they hit $900..
Some artists sell autographed versions on their own websites Ermsy who drew the first Trout is one of them. So if you like a particular artist then check them out and see. I did buy a gold Frank Thomas but on ebay whereyou can save a few bucks presale.. usually $17.50 free shipping from one of the dealers who buy 10 or more and get discounts.

Have you been overall happy with the condition of the cards you've gotten in hand? I've seen a few pics on EBay that look like some cards have marks on them or like debris trapped between the card and the holder. Can only imagine what this would lead to if the next wave is cracking them open and sending in for grading! I'm sure it's coming.

This whole phenomenon is just so fascinating To me in so many ways. I can’t figure out the incentive of these guys preselling 100 cards at $17 like the latest McGuire? I get it that when they buy in bulk they get for $15 a card from Topps and it is a guaranteed $2 per card profit but is $200 really worth all the hassle not to mention having to wait weeks just to get the cards in hand then ship them all out? Are they that worried the cards won’t at least hold their $20 buying price when the excitement dies down (doubtful).
