Topps Co-Signers>>>>>>discussion

Hi-

The co-signers set has tons of parallels, and for PC guys there is a market for them.

These are just the Utley cards in 07 alone: :shock: 06, 08 and (I guess) 09 are the same amounts.

That's a ton, and yes there are serious SP's and 1/1's and such but still I have never seen most of those pop up and can only imagine that most of you PC guys can say the same about your guy.

So,
Why is there such a small amount of co-signers on the market? And where are all these cards? Topps warehouses?

Gomes was in the '07 set, and, being paired with just one player, had only 16 cards. Oddly enough, I found all the parallels (as well as the 1/1 and spot plate) except for the one /175, which took me months to find.

By and large the cards probably don't sell for much, and I would imagine that is why they are not listed all that often. As much as one person may want a card, it takes two to make it worth selling. (That 2002 Just Prospects Prototypes Gomes card keeps telling me that...)

Edited to add: By the way, the 1/1 parallel is, in my opinion, the nicest looking Gomes card that I have.

Honestly...because they suck.As far as I have ever heard...this product just wasn't worth busting.I have some of the base sets and a I am working on others but I have never heard much that was good about it.My guess is a lot of it just never got busted.I opened one box and I was not too thrilled with it.It wasn't that bad but nowhere near what the box went for.These things would have to go for around $40(I paid $80 for mine) for me to even consider buying another one.And even then...probably not.

I love Co-Signers but there is a reason Topps discontinued it.

Most collectors just didn't care for it.

Old school xfractor technology. I miss old school xfractors.

I think the Hyper-Plaids are hot, cooler looking than superfractors.

The reason they don't pop up often is because they aren't worth selling. The parallels are rare enough that you don't pull a ton of them, and they are hard to sell individual cards of players because of shipping costs. Even if you win the card for .99 it ends up costing 3.99, and that sucks if the seller only has the one card you want.

I really like the hyper foil and hyper plaid versions.

/5, /1, and /1
