Got this from a different site. Looks like Topps pulled a bait-and-switch bigtime

It seems that Topps apparently went and changed the auto /box ratio from 1-2 per box to 1 per 6 boxes, along with a dramatic change in the autos list, just prior to distributing. Saw this elsewhere and thought it was worth sharing.... Avoid like the plague until prices drop (unless you like collecting base sets)

Here are all the ones not now included despite being advertised as being possible pulls!

How can they do this? The Paterno was on all the advertisement! Topps is going downhill fast. With all the delays in the Red Hot Rookies Baseball and now this? This is crap!

Wow. That was looking to be an impressive auto set and I planned to put it together... Not anymore!

Same here, I really can't fathom how Topps would see this as being ok to make such drastic changes to the checklist and make no note of it before release.

I feel sorry for anybody who pre-ordered these. I hope every one of them calls Topps copmlaining, and fighting for a refund. I understand that card lists are subject to change, but there has to be a point. If they weren't able to include all of these, they shouldn't have promised them.

Funkmaster Flex and Warren Hayes? Come on now... How do you go from Shatner, Hasselhoff, PATERNO, and others to a DJ/Radio Host most people haven't heard of and a band member I had to Google to figure out who he was. Not to meniton some of the cards will really have little value, like "The Pinta". It reminds me of my Allen and Ginter "Grand Canyon" card, lol.

I will admit though, I do like the design of the cards, and thought the jerseys were very nice after seeing some scans. I haven't seen a pulled auto yet, but saw some (including the Paterno that now doesn't exist) on a "first look" page.

I've seen a couple Elways on ebay, which wasn't on the list, but yeah, other than that the auto list seems to have been downgraded severely.

Still, Warren Haynes is a cool if odd addition if you are of a certain demographic. A guitarist set would be great. Leslie West, Carlos Santana, and...ooh...Jimmy Page.

I got a few blasters at wally world and I have to say I love the product.I didn't buy it for the autos though.Mostly for the set completion.

I did however pull a Ray Rice Gu jersey card.They are cool because its like football allen and ginter.

I also pulled this beauty as well:

what sets are you building?


Regular and the mini's.I haven't really purchased too much of it because frankly I have been broke but my wife got these for me when we went.She was actually cool with it which is odd.I suppose she purchased something and didn't tell me about it but I haven't seen any new shoes or purses lately.


Also forgot to mention I pulled a Colt Brennan mini #'d to 25 as well which is sweet because I collect him.I love the look of this set.I just wish I had some bones to throw at it right now because I am broke and sadly...I doubt my wife will be buying me any more which means I will just have to enjoy what I have for now.
