So Im in the store today and I see a box of T206. I look at it and notice it has a nice
mini autograph card of Ripken on the front of the box...nice card, so I look it up on
ebay and it doesn't exist!! Its a redemption.
Here is my theory. Topps sends out pre orders of T206. Dealers like the checklist and
send topps their money for the product. With cash in hand topps spends just enough
so they don't go over that making redemptions for all the big cards. After the product
sells they wait for 8 months and then say the players aren't going to sign and they
move out other junk.
From what I have seen topps hasn't spent anything making this product, I really think
this is what they are doing.
