Nice stuff. Are those the /50's or /25's?

Also, how is the overall condition, relative to the base Metal?

bballcardkid · Mar 25, 2009

So at the end of the 7 days, the highest 50 bids (or less if people want mulitples) wins the cards? The price everyone pays per card will be the lowest winning bid?

Leaf · Mar 25, 2009

Better than base cards.... we weeded out any real problem cards..

Thus, stated print runs vary by player between 40 and 50.

For example, if the bids are as below:

1 card at $100
10 cards at $50
33 cards at $10
12 cards at $7

the bidders for the 1, 10 and 33 would be filled in their entirety at $7..

Then the remaning 6 cards would be sold at $7 based on on a first to bid basis...

THUS, it pays to bid earlier and it pays to overbid if you want just one card, since youll get the lowest winning price anyways... BG

When do the Gold/25's start hitting the Bay?

Sounds pretty good assuming it actually works out that way, lol. I'll be sure to place my bids early on the guys I want

It sounds pretty good as long as 40 other people aren't putting $1000 bids in, otherwise, uh oh :lol:

I like the system and I think it will work out fine.

Is it just me or are they all o/c top to bottom?

The design, perhaps purposely, is deceptive in nature as to weither o/c is happening top to bottom. I consider the top, the top of the RAZOR logo and the bottom, the bottom of the inner certer boarder. Thus, they look ok to me.

while i have not compained about razor products or commented on any of the prior razor posts, for some reason i feel compelled to comment on this. the distribution method that you have chosen to get your products into the public has pretty much screwed anyone who has purchased razor products. instead of opening a box of cards looking for the decent hits to sell and hopefully make a profit, you (brian g) have chose to cut the middle man out yourself and reap all the rewards (if there are any) and auction the cards off yourself to the highest bidder therefor keeping any one from making an immediate profit by opening razor products. in my opinion, this is no better than the employee who back doors a product for a product. it is this reason alone that i have chosen not to buy or obtain ANY razor cards.

I fail to see how this screws anyone.

Is he putting a gun to your head and forcing you to bid? By your response, the answer is obviously no. You can't screw someone who voluntarily knows the origins of these cards and chooses to bid anyway.

They didnt screw anyone. Did they make what may end up being a poor choice? Thats what you can really discuss.

I have to say, I do not disagree completely. However, I feel he was more 'pushed' in to this outcome than a 'thought through' plan. On one hand he may just as well be cutting out the middle man as you say, but on the other, he may just not had enough preperation to package and ship. Eithor way is no good in my opinion. One can say that there may be an increase in value in time anyway but that can be said about anything.

It was this move with the chrome, and now this with the paralells that I have reclassified RAZOR as a novelty item. And even if they grow and become a sucess with true demand, I feel the initial offerings will never be accepted fully.

JP,

how is this any different than Topps putting out Bowman Chrome product and with holding all of the Gold Refractors and then auctioning them all off on ebay. by what your saying, if topps tells you ahead of time they are going to do it, it is OK with you. am i right?

no one including myself has ever been forced to buy a product by no means but to me, this line of dirstibution is one reaping rewards for Razor and not any body else. if they are going to continuously make all the parralels of there products only available on ebay to the highest bidder, whats the point in opening any of them only to get the base models.

if i am wrong here, pease explain this one to me.

if they are only putting the potential money making parallels on ebay in auction style format and the company is the one making the huge profits, they are cheating (better choice or words?) the people who are buying the initial products that are only pulling the base cards.

Ian Stewart · Mar 25, 2009

I agree with mburgin. What an awful way of releasing a product.

Topps didn't always pack out all of their parallels - case in point, the Pit. Certainly some benefits got reaped by them in those instances. I'd prefer a card company tell me ahead of time about their parallels than not at all, which was the case here.

In any case, this argument regarding Razor's method of distribution has been hashed, rehashed and re-rehashed. I would have preferred these to have been packed out, but it won't discourage me from buying a few.
