Its not being planned but just wondering how you think it would sell and if you would buy it.
Topps Total was similar but never took off and that was with true impact rookie cards.
There are a couple of key differences with this fantasy product and Total.
2010 Topps Retro
792 card set on "old school" paper/technology
50 cents per pack with 10 cards per and 36 packs per box (box srp $16-$18)
No inserts, no GU or autos and no numbered cards.
"Error" cards will be inserted along with corrected versions. This is a modern day variation card in reality as some errors wil be rarer than others and some corrected cards will be rarer than the errors (reverse neg, stat errors, wrong photos and logos, etc)
Different than Total in that the price point (50 cents) is what it was in the late 80s during the boom which should help it sell well at retail. Lack of inserts, GU and autos and old school paper will help keep the price down and errors could bring collectors back to when errors were actually corrected (and collected).
And just like back then, collectors can decide if they will include error cards in their sets or not. All in all, this product would be geared towards novice, kids and collectors who remember actually building sets from scratch. I dont think it would sell too well in Hobby shops since nearly everyone expects a chance to get GU or autos in their boxes.
