The 2014 Topps (High) Tek Thread

[Swipe79]

Someone over on Blowout Cards pulled the Randy Johnson Auto Charcoal Galactic.

Do you need the black and white /15?

Not quite complete, but fairly close. Missed out on the first 2 /25 Clouds & haven't seen the /5 base Blue Dots (/10 Red is in hand but not pictured). I don't do printing plates/proofs etc.

On the base patterns I'm in for $1-$3 for the common/semi-common four, $30 for Shatter Stripe & $35 for Zig Zag. I can't say if I overpaid or no on the two rarest, as mine are the only auctions that have actually sold. Only 1 other Zig Zag is listed. I can say for sure I overpaid on 2 of the 3 autographs, but whatever, they're super low numbered & awesome. I'm hoping some Christmas Day card opening will yield the Charcoal Galactic versions!

FYI if you're selling, cards look MUCH better against black using a flash, rather than just scanning!

Thanks for the link! We'll see if I can scoop it. No on the B&W, I'm boycotting that parallel because it's stupid.

Just when I thought Tek couldn't look any better, you but them on a black background with a flash

Got my package in from AIC today and was surprised to find this in the "commons" pile!!

Shatter Stripe SSP (Rarest NL Version)

@BiggioBrooks755

Sorry for the late reply

Love it!!

Nice cards guys!

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

Are these cards in an set "order"?

Like Zig Zag, Stripes, Grid ect? or just whatever order? Thanks

 

[onionring9]

order of scarcity - here is a list of all of the variations a player could have with a couple of exceptions:

1) Autographs vary. Some players do not have autos, those that do have anywhere from 4-6 non-proof autos. In my case there are 4 (no base or disco /50)
2) AL teams have different base patterns (base through shatter stripe)
3) Buybacks - some players do not have these, all print runs so far are unknown. Most autos seen so far have been 4 of a single player and all of the cards were of unique patterns. Some call each a 1/1, some call them 1/4.

This one is from most produced to most scarce
base, grid, pipes, shatter, zig zag, shatter stripe

The rest are opposite, least to most:
proofs /1, blue dots /5, red storm /10, black and white /15, clouds /25, disco /50, ice /75, gold /99

 

[onionring9]

As much as I like the concept of the buybacks, they are really hard to see the auto's on for the '00 buybacks. Too much blue on dark color.

Mcgwire has the same list and it is incorrect (note though that the base card is spiral bricks)

So what is the correct list, if you have an any idea?

and is this the Spiral Bricks?

If you don't know what the patterns look like.

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

So I have the Biggio Grid...which of course isnt listed in Beckett...No Laser on your CC list...I have no idea what the hell I have for a list...

Your list would be the side with Grid on it so
Spiral Brick
Grid
Shatter
Pipes
Zig Zag
Shatter Stripe

I believe anyways.

This list is correct for base card + variations for NL. 6 total cards.
