Thoughts on Topps Tribute?

jdacunha · Jan 6, 2010

Haven't seen too many posts on this product, but is it just me are Tribute and Sterling very similar products?

Which case would make more sense busting?

Here are some cards that are popping up on ebay:

Mantle 1/1 GU:

Ruth GU:

Thoughts?

Very cool!

Some cards look really nice while others(the non auto game used cards)look hideous.The base(and parallels) cards are some of the nicest looking cards ive seen in a while.

Nolan Ryan base

You'd think they could get it right after all these years? Bat, jersey, what is it?

And Sal Bando in a high end product?

i will be giving a box away next week

yep, thats right

giving it away

All I care about are the Yount base cards. I kind of like that I can ignore a product.

Man, are Braun and Fielder getting over-produced. If there are some stellar pieces of them and I have the means, I might look at something; but otherwise, unless I want to break something for trade-bait, I'll let the product go.

And yeah, Sal Bando, but no Yount, Aaron, Molitor, Grace, etc? um....ok?

If I paid 100+ and got a Sal Bando auto, I would probably plug myself.....Nice going Topps. :benson:

a high end product like tribute should never have included sticker sigs ::facepalm::

Or Babe Ruth BENCH cards... :benson:

They're not $100, theyre 50

still...Sal Bando?

Derriz · Jan 7, 2010

Seems kind of bland for the price.

jbhofmann · Jan 7, 2010

2001 Tribute almost made me quit the hobby. I shelled out the $50 for 1 pack easily the most I'd ever spent on a pack and pulled the Ted Williams buyback card. I was going nuts. I check Ebay daily for different 50's topps williams singles and drooled over possibly getting a nice early 50's copy.

Then on mailday I about threw myself in front of a bus. My buyback that had been getting +300 on the bay was a 1970(ish) Williams Manager card. Biggest kick to the nuts I have ever gotten from a card company.

Agreed. ::facepalm::

Just checked out casebreaker's case break over on the box break boards. Seems to be REAL hit or miss. I feel really sorry for the suckers that buy single packs and get single jersey or bat cards. For $50 / pack, you could get a Joey Votto single jersey????? Yikes.

His case had some nice cards but nowhere near the price point in my opinion. The last two boxes were absolutely brutal!! And one box had 2 David Wright autos in the same box!!!!

Think I may be steering clear......

mudflap02 · Jan 7, 2010

Ha ha more like Sal BLANDO!!!!!!

See what I did there?

hive17 · Jan 8, 2010

I just saw a guy open a box at the LCS. If I were to be happy with a box that didn't have an obviously "EXPLOSIVE" pull, that would have been my box. He pulled a Fielder Auto/dual GU, Braun Auto/GU BLUE /75 and a Pujols Auto/triple GU /75 and his GU were Braun, Bench, and a Mornuea Gold /25 bat.

Problem is, the LCS guys around here MAX out the SRP. Box cost dude $300+

Still, it would have made me feel better if that's how crazy i was. It was far and away a better box than he could have got. I had him scared before he opened it with "Sal Bando" nightmare stories.

Extremely disappointing due to the fact they are being elusive about what the actually so called "game pieces/Relics" are from. Topps has fallen from grace. Welcome to the cesspool and take your place next to Upper Deck. You deserve it. I'm sorry, am I too blunt and too the point :lol: :lol: :lol:

However it is cool you guys are giving a box away.

It's more disappointing than DMB's sixth album, "stand up". oH wait, why are there two TT threads? :lol: :lol:
