If 2014 topps tek varies too much from the originals....

Will you care?

Meaning, if the cards are not acetate or are made of regular paper or have just a few design variations, will you buy it?

I'm thinking they will not be acetate because of the cost but do expect them to be chrome-like, at minimum similar to bowman platinum.

I just hope they don't screw the pooch and use heritage stock with 3 design variations

Will I care? Yes. It doesn't HAVE to be a dead copy of any of the first 3. As you alluded to, needs to be enough versions to chase (that are all different enough from each other) but not so many that the product crashes out of the gate. I'm gonna be upset if it's not acetate, but if it isn't there better be some new technology or twist going on

Side note: how did Topps NOT tie in a "design a pattern" contest into this?

Topps TEK, as in tech, technology, etc is what I always understood the set to be about. They don't have to be acetate, but I would hope they have some type of 'cutting edge' look to them. If they're going to be just plain paper base with X variations, might as well call it Moments & Milestones 2014.

I would be disappointed if they weren't acetate

If they aren't acetate, I'll chew up the few packs I buy and crap out a sinewy mess of digested paper products...and call it Leaf Piles of History (w/ buy backs!)

I hope they are acetate but not same patterns from 98. Hoping card #'s and pattern #'s are easier to read.

I think this is about the only release I am half way interested in this year. Curious to see the checklist to see if there is anyone in it I collect. May chase whatever Cubs that show up in it anyways.

I think the 2 defining features of Tek is the acetate and the umpteen variations. If either isn't present, it isn't Tek. But i'm sure it'll be acetate. They've been making acetate inserts and parallels for a while now in various brands for a few years now and they're really popular.
