cgilmo said:How did topps screw anyone over?
People were speculating that 10 would be a stras auto, and it didn't happen. Frankly, it was a suckers bet.
It wasn't a suckers bet at first....but when it was apparent that Topps was going to screw the pooch and not release any Stras RCs while Stras was actually pitching in his rookie year and they were going to SP everything or make them inserts, then it became a suckers bet.cgilmo said:How did topps screw anyone over?

Braindead :benson: please excuse my error.
Agreed...but when can we get a pack issued Strasburg RC logo card? January?

no, it was always a suckers bet
an $80 ticket for a less than 10% chance at it being strasburg, and then the fantastic longshot that was the possibility of it being a strasburg autograph.
I'd rather just buy the bowman and call it a day.

At this point tho, it doesn't matter. The hype is dead. The time to cash in on Topps' part was a few weeks ago. There was no reason to release chrome basically on the day the regular season ends. And it sucks that all of the products that are worth the rip as far as Topps is concearned (and yes, more prospect slanted) come out in November and December....and all of them pretty much back to back to back.
Topps could have made huge buzz at the Natty with a new release product with Stras actually in there.
