Good lord thats a long list. Some good ones in there, but they're gonna be tough to pull.

This is a baseball release, correct? If so, stick to baseball players. I'm growing tired of the trend of checklists and hits being diluted with non-baseball autographs.

My guess....less than 5% or maybe even less than 1% of people know these names:

General Frank Parker
General Walter Reed
General Wallace DeWitt
General Edward Montgomery
General Charles Danforth
General Albert Myer
General George Read
Admiral Harold Smith
General Carl Reichmann

All those Generals, and they leave out Billy Mitchell, the father of the Air Force, ugh, FAIL Topps ::facepalm::

Just kidding. That's a mighty strong check-list.

Is it bad that I'd be more interested in the FB cuts from this release than the baseball and "other"?

I'm probably gonna go after a Sain

Cant wait to see who we pull in the group break

Would love to be able to pick up:

Dean
Sammy
Bing
Cash

Darryl Kile?

Just because a player is dead, Topps, it doesn't necessarily mean that his autograph is popular or in demand.

No one wanted this one for less than a buck. http://cgi.ebay.com/1992-Fleer-439-Darr ... 518f50455a

Pretty solid checklist, but do they really need to make more Bob Lemon and Ted Lyons Cut autos?

damn thats a big list. are they all going to be 1/1's?

Pretty sure that is impossible if they are going to be seeded 1:10 boxes. I imagine some will be VERY high #'d.

*EDIT

I like the Sinatra, but you could just buy a nice one for half the price of a case of Sterling

http://cgi.ebay.com/Frank-Sinatra-Signe ... 19b5c376b0

I managed to pick this one up for $600



Also, the Paige is pretty sweet, but I got this bad boy for less than 1 box of Sterling



I've never really bought too much into the cut auto market because you can usually buy the uncut, authenticated item for less than a case or in many many cases, a box of high end product. Some of the more "common" cuts on that list could be purchased for $10.

I'd take Ted Lyons or Joe Adcock since they are Louisiana boys... but not at that price point.

There are good names, though. I'd love a piece of Pie (Traynor)

Moe Berg cut = $$$

The only thing impressive about this checklist is the breadth.

Otherwise, it's no different than a Razor cut auto checklist.

I'm not too impressed. This is supposed to be a high end baseball product. I would have loved to see something more similar to their 2004 topps tribute HOF signature edition checklist.

If I spent that much $ and pulled a George Kell Cut, I'd throw a nutty.

Did they announce print runs for these, or are they supposed to be 1/1's?

There are some serious $5 index cards in that list...like 50 of them.

I'm glad I don't care too much about brand in my collection.

I doubt we'll see a checklist like that again, unfortunately.
