2012 Topps Retired Rings

dano7 · Feb 2, 2012

I didn't know these were in the packs this year until I pulled one. Super thick card and very nice looking.
I got a Frank Thomas 289/736.

Danny, does the 'ring' protrude from the top of the card, or is it level?

Whichever it is, I think it's a pretty cool insert. I saw the bandb had the set up with like a $500 BIN/BO - something like that.

edit: $510 BIN w/ $460 opening bid

The ring part is in an area sunk into the card, with the ring part rising about 2/3 of the way up. The ring part is metal.

The down side is that it is thicker than a normal pack and the indention lets you know its there in the box.

Rings and Pins are in Jumbos only correct?

I pulled one of Stan Musial.

that's not a smart move by topps

I thought these were jumbo only as well. The ones in hobby packs will be ridiculously searchable.

I have a Musial and an Aparicio up for grabs!

If they are like the hat patches from last year then they only fall one per hobby case.

very cool looking card

I just paid $36.01 for a Mantle because I was so impressed by the card.

This is correct...
1 per jumbo box and one per hobby case

Maybe its painfully obvious or I just got woken up too early by a crying baby this morning but what's the significance of /736?

Don't know that there is one, but I do know I wouldn't be buying any of these right now and paying $30+ for them... :lol:
