2013 Topps Baseball Big Hit Tracker UPDATE - BABE RUTH CUT AUTO BAT 1/1 ARRIVES FOR FCB MEMBER!

[James52411]

Opening Day for the 2013 baseball card calendar is here as Topps Series One Baseball is hitting retailer's shelves. For many (and I'd guess a plurality of) collectors, this is still the biggest release of the year. Please feel free to post any pictures of your big hits in this thread as we enjoy the 62nd annual offering of Topps baseball cards.

Looks like Belle will show his face on a few relic cards in this release...

 

[James52411]

The manufactured relics are fantastic looking this year, at least in this collector's opinion. Not "big hits" monetarily, but definitely sweet looking cards...

Should be interesting to find out the level of demand for the new insert and base set parallels...

Will the proliferation of parallels cause some buyers to give up collecting the black set? Probably not; demand for rare cards of this guy appears strong no matter the set,

I need that Xavier Nady World Series Relic but if that seller thinks it's a $90 card he can suck my butt.

 

[hive17]

Does anyone know which "Chasing History" inserts have GU and auto variations?

Don't be surprised.



If I recall correctly, thats what some of the bums sold for in the 2011 Giants set.

Looks like some of the Stars (Posey, Cain and Lincecum) have patch swatches on their WS relics, while lesser players generally don't.

Thanks. I was hoping that was a different one than I had seen earlier.

I'm starting to hate the Topps monopoly more and more, as they seem incapable of making any decent Yount cards that aren't just GU (Tier 1 stuff aside). I haven't been excited about an auto release for years. Leaf was the only decent auto in years, as the Panini stuff totally sucks.

2013 Topps Series 1 Baseball Big Hit Tracker (Update: Posey WS Auto Patch)

Is this set stickers, if they make it for Stan it must be. I can't see Topps using many Stan stickers in low end products, I see them milking them as far as possible.

He had signed for Heritage, but I'm guessing that will be a sticker. However, since they all seem to be redemptions, that could mean they are on card.

They may have SP'd them if they are stickers.
