Player Collector's, and the Topps Vault "1/1"

baseballguy350 · Feb 21, 2010

Simple poll here.

Do you add the Topps Vault Blank Back 1/1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dustin-Pedroia-TOPP ... 23058766fb) to your player collection? I can't justify adding them to the player collection, when I can get pack pulled 1/1s for the same or less, but curious as to what other player collectors think.

I add them as the Garko usually goes for 9.99 and its OK with me to have another slabbed 1/1 piece

They're neat, but I think of them as being aftermarket as they were never put into packs. Blank backs used to occasionally be inserted into packs by Topps a long time ago (I have some from the '70s), thrown into packs to save money, but they were misprints or proof cards.

I don't care for them.

I try to get them when they are released.

If they're cheap, I'll pick them up for Reynolds.

I actually just picked up two Blank Fronts (not from the Topps Vault though) of Reynolds.

Ultimately, if it's got Reynolds, I'll probably get it...

I was going to try & go after the Mauer that was listed last week because it was something unique, but a chance to go to Vegas next month for 311 day put an end to my buying & in seller mode.

I've got a couple.

Ive passed on all the blank backs for 9.99,not worth it.

I collect all things early Frank Thomas...if I could get some early Thomas items from the vault, heck yes.

EricChavezCollector3 · Feb 21, 2010

If hell no was an option that's the one I would choose. As a collector posted above I also see these as after-market cards. I don't collect show cards, many promos, or any after markets. If companies are going to sell individual cards then they need to see all their cards that way. I would love to be able to get a copy of every release but don't release things that weren't available in packs in addition to what is already out there.

Any gimmicky 1/1 (aftermarket, most plates, show stamped, etc) I will avoid.

zookerman182 · Feb 21, 2010

im going to be getting the aybar just because there really arent many aybar cards out there. Even if this is a gimmicky card, (which i believe it is) i still need it in my collection for 9.99.

I'll chase the trade conference cards (i.e. DK Hawaii, etc.,) but the Vault 1/1's don't do anything for me. As others have said, the after-market aspect is a big turn off.

OhioBobcat3 · Feb 21, 2010

When they appear I try to pick them up. They are protected in a slab and are 1/1's, so as long as they stay close to $9.99 I'm game. I will say that they are rather gimmicky, and are not the most prized cards in my collection. I feel similarly about National and trade conference issues, but to a lesser extent.

They don't ship to Canada, which is awful.

They do come with a certificate of authenticity, which is cool enough.

By far, the cooler item is the Photo Proofs.

I'm not sure what they look like in person (see. stupidity of not shipping to canada,) but the concept behind buying an 8x10 that was used on a baseball card is neat.
