Those cards are pretty slick looking.I am glad that they are releasing this much later in the year.The last few years it has nothing more than a gap filler as an early season release.

Do you see it having/holding any value? I made the mistake of buying it last year... and got absolutely killed, worst break I ever had. I'm very standoffish to the product at this point.

Nice!

I've said it once, I'll say it again: "nothing sells products like previews of Alex Cobb cards."

Yeah, I like that they stuck with the feel of those Topps value inserts. Great looking.

Looks like Bowman Platinum Part Deux.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I knew they wouldn't cancel this....

After reading over the sell sheet. Holy parallels batman! I like it!

But there are some ridiculously low #'d parallels (purple, die-cut mosaic ((interested to know what this looks like))

Good to see they brought back xfractors and superfractors.

And now ORANGE refractors?

Should be a fun break!

Didn't there used to be three mini boxes per master box with one auto per? So now you only get 2 instead of 3?

Sorry for all the posts. I get excited. This and Topps Chrome are my favorite sets each year.

Couple more thoughts:

Only 100 players on the checklist? I honestly wish they would add a little more each year. Maybe less of the worthless RC's and more of the veterans. I guess that means a lot of my guys won't be on the checklist.

The #'ing for the auto/relics is really weird. They have all the parallels for the RC auto/relics, but like the green is #'d/149 when all the other times it is #'d/199. I really don't care, it is just weird. For the veteran auto/relics they only have a few parallels.

The RC auto relics have a die-cut mosaic parallel? That should be interesting...

Andrew is there a prelim checklist yet?

Yup, and in 2008, it was 3 on-card autos.
