Didn't read the whole thread, so I apologize if someone brought it up.
What are the odds Topps comes out with the complete "factory" set after the season potentially killing some of the value of the original run? And, would anyone be shocked if/when it happens?

Quick question, sorry if this has been answered already but are the actual cards serial #d or is the print run only announced on their website?

Announced. Not serial numbered.

Just ordered the Marwin from Casebusters. I didn't think Topps would get one out of me, but I can't turn down Marwin or Will Harris.
with a stated print run I don't think they would do this. because the print run is only from however many people ordered. so it would look real bad on their part if they tried.

Now I wouldn't be totally surprised if they issued a parallel factory set of all the cards in gold or something similar.
I actually would be OK with that - as long as it was clear that it was a reprint or parallel.
I was really cold on these cards at first, but the more I see them, the more I like them. I think Topps is really onto something here - especially for modern team/player collectors. Near real time production of the events and games that fan like - and they are out (and out of stock) before the emotion of the event dies off. If they are making money on these, I expect we will see these for a long time to come. (Making money on small print runs of effectively custom cards is not a given here...even at the high price per card).
They won me over with these.
id get you scans but i have no clue where i misplaced my harpers at. lol
Topps has all fronts and backs on their site. I should say the cards are really nice, super glossy with light embossing on the fronts.
As someone who has been buying daily (thanks again, Casebusters), I'd hate to see a factory set. I suppose it's at least a 50/50 chance, but I'd really hate to spend $2600+ on 400+ cards over 6 months only to have a box set come out for $99 or whatever.

If they do make a factory set, It probably won't be the same exact card, so the print run on the factory set would be way higher making these still more desirable.
I'd imagine with the infrastructure in place of making custom cards that people can design and order, Topps cost of making these one-offs can't be very expensive. Topps probably also batches them (prints multiple days' worth of cards in one press run, lowering the cost of production).
I wouldn't mind a factory set at the end of the year if the cost of the item is reasonable. Totally agree they'll have to make it in some sort of parallel just to make sure you don't dilute the print run and value of the daily cards sold.
FYI, Topps is doing Now for Preacher, the new AMC comic-based TV show. 5 cards for $20.

Love the comic, just finished rereading it. I don't have cable, so I'll have to watch it online. Did anyone catch it? And do you think the sleeper factor could make this first batch very SP'd, or is the secret out?

I have not read the comic for what it's worth. I did see Topps tweeting about it last night and I just wanted to ask them to stop ruining everything I enjoy. I think there's potential for this set though, especially because people late to the party will be able to afford going back and picking up why they missed as Season 1 is 10 episodes I believe, unlike the baseball version which will be too big to attempt for those who haven't already started
