Leaf Purple Autos vs. Bowman Blue Wave Autos

TopOffLikeWALLACE · Jul 29, 2012

How do these cards compare to eachother?

Did bowman buyers pay less for Gold autographs because they Blue Waves were coming soon?

If Leaf had made the Purple autos with "Purple Wave" technology, do you think they would hold a premium over the oranges, like how blue waves sell for more than the golds.

Leaf will never hold a premium over any real card on the market.

LOL! Another Leaf thread... This is just a holder while I brew popcorn.

I suspect Topps didn't hold back half of the blue autographs to send to retail facilities as a packin for other retail products.

Yeah the Red and Blue wave program went off without a hitch.

It didn't go off without a hitch but the guidelines were simple. Send empty packs in immediately after busting product and hope yours get there in time. There was no backdoor sales so to speak of like the LEAF cards.
While the red/blue wave redemption was a fracking mess and collectors got shorted, more packs, or just none at all...at least Topps wasn't selling cards to be packaged in a retail product when the cards were supposed to be dispersed in hobby packs only.

Just came back from the grocery store & they were out of popcorn.

Apparently lots of fcb'ers frequent my grocery store

No, they just made the packs searchable so no secondary market pack buyers had ANY chance
