Christ Topps, Jean Segura again? 2014 has come and gone. He had a great first half in '13......worth a year an a half of limited checklist releases? No

I kind of thought the same thing, but was more astonished that Terry freaking Pendleton was on the checklist.

At least Pendleton has historical significance to the Braves. They could have gone that route and thrown in Rollie Fingers or Gorman Thomas (instead of Yount/Molitor again). That would have been sweet actually lol

Yep, weird. It even says,"Topps High Tek" in the copyright notice on the back, but those words don't appear on the cards anywhere I can see, except the "Tektonics" insert. Odd oversight.

Haha. The whispers on the street is that the product wasn't overproduced and is loaded up with content (cases). I don't think you'll see a ton of it blasting eBay so it will likely keep single pricing somewhat pricey. We are doing a 5 Case break of it...but only 2-3 of the other larger breakers are planning on doing any of it. It's an odd one because it's not quite large enough to be a 'team' break...but it's slightly larger than a typical hit draft because of the 28 hits a case.

On the set side, I'd suspect there to be only a few people in the US that can complete that massive 1,200 MASTER set. Would be a sweet set to chase...but wow...that's a lot to track down.

Not excited about all the talk and chatter about this product. It is already hitting eBay... doesn't even come out until mid-week... no checklist... cards don't say Tek, etc.... speculation on production run...

All-in-all, just really seems thrown together or an off product. I mean the one and only Belle card on eBay isn't even listed as a possible card in the general "checklist" which just lists how the parallels will look or what the "hits" will be.

Clearly I have an ax to grind because I didn't want Belle in this product but such is life. At this point I just want clarity as to who is in it, what the checklist looks like and we can all move on down the road.

It will be interesting to see what the Buybacks are. They've already said it would be a mix of 98/99/00, so who will get 98? And apparently it will be base... will they find copies that aren't spotty or other defects? And will they stamp the card in some way to authenticate it? Hopefully one pops soon :)
