2012 Leaf Memories Sell Sheets and Checklist (1990 Leaf Design)

ThoseBackPages said:

if the buybacks are all hard signed, why cant Piazza (or any other "name player") be?

i understand getting things like that are difficult, but honestly, thats what you as a non-MLB producer, has to get done.

i know this product will sell out regardless, and theres no denying that is a "good thing" for LEAF. But think about the bigger picture, how about LEAF becoming known as "The company that got rid of stickers altogether"

So get on that plane (tickets arent that much for a multi-million dollar company like LEAF) and fly to Piazza, have him sign the cards, then head home.

Why not wait until you can get all 528 cards as a buy back and release it then? Why lower the bar with sticker prospect cards that no one wants?

Always nice to have new player PC cards to chase, but it looks like the Olerud autograph will be a pretty tough /9 whenever it's released. Just to be clear (since I'm updating my master checklist), will there be the parallel /20, /5 and 1/1 foil-stamped versions of the entire set PLUS a whole unnumbered base set, or will there just be the numbered cards without an unnumbered base set?

It may tie up money for the short term, but I would imagine there are plenty of 1990 Leaf autos out there that BG could buy in bulk or buy rather cheaply. He has done it for other releases for buy back autos. All I am saying is if I owned Leaf, I would be sure to make this THE best release ever. When I think of Leaf baseball, I think 1990, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I would have gotten all cards on card, make special cuts of the deceased from 1990 and encapsulate each one. Expensive? Sure, but it would have been worth it. Prospects in the 1990 design does nothing for me, in fact it takes away from this product just like the sticker autos. I would have done things very differently for this set, that's all I'm saying.

For 2 autographs? And looking at the sell sheet..no guarantee of a buyback per box? Does each box contain atleast 1 buyback?

What is the point of a stealth launch? WHy wouldn't the manufacturer want to have as much hype as possible?

Not exactly a stealth launch, as it was first announced in August.

There are only 1550 boxes and 70 "buyback" autos......that is roughly 23 autos per card....Ripken is 8 while Thomas is 34. It might balance to one/box but at this point only BG knows. Maybe once the checklist is release tomorrow we can figure out how many buyback there are.
