Blue Wave Redemption process 2.0

WaxPax · Oct 18, 2012

I'm just a bit curious as to why there has been little to no mention about the Blue Wave redemption's on the boards.

The first time around was a complete cluster #$%@&. So, has Topps streamlined the process so well that it is going work like a charm or is everyone just being hush hush about everything....

Also, after reviewing the sell sheet, no mention of Red Parallels, not sure if this has been brought up yet...thoughts?

I'm guessing people are fed up with the process, especially those who weren't fast enough.

And I'm also guessing the mass breakers aren't too pleased with the new limit.

Any word on Auto print runs, or even Reds being included??

I sent out my wrappers today. Hopefully they will get there soon enough.

Good news. Just asked, and was told the format will not change.

· Red Wave Chrome Refractor Parallel #’d to 25

· Blue Wave Chrome Refractor Prospect Autographs #’d to 50

WaxPax · Oct 18, 2012

Well that is good news, as there is nothing about either on the BW sell sheet

I'm sure there are a few folks ripping BC in bulk, but Brent and I aren't among them, so you're not going to hear me whining about the process.

Bob Loblaw · Oct 19, 2012

Why aren't you both ripping?

Losing money sucks. BC has been a guaranteed money loser since 2007.

It was fun asking people not to throw out the package when they received it.

WaxPax · Oct 22, 2012

So much for an update first thing today.....

Topps Company ‏@toppscards
@84ironhide no update until mail comes in and team has a chance to tabulate, takes some time

How can you possibly lose money on BC when you can make a set with only 110
packs of cards (at a minimum) while selling the set of 220 for $40 ?

Its funny, one can make a killing with Bowman (which no one cares about the base vets) but can lose your ass on Bowman Chrome...

Maybe they should just make 2 series & don't make a stand alone chrome series....

Bowman Series 1 includes
Prospects 1-110 on paper & chrome
Vet/RC 1-110 on paper & chrome

Bowman Series 2 includes
Prospects 111-220 on paper & chrome
Vet/RC 111-220 on paper & chrome

Include the inserts like in Bowman in both products and have 2 winners instead of 1

I like the two series idea, but they should just get rid of the paper cards altogether and leave that for Topps products.

If they get rid of the paper cards, Then it would be just like having 2 bowman chrome series...

The reason Bowman works is because of the paper cards...

So with all the limitations they put in place, it lasted 1 day longer than the first time around....
