2015 Topps Archives

After seeing the Ozzie Smith cards it appears that they selected one card set/type released during those playing career. How does this play out for other players? Do some have several card type with a same year?

Draft always comes out near Christmas and I don't ever see those sales hurting. At the same time offseason prices do generally dip overall but new releases are new releases. Addicts gonna pay no matter what time of year

I think your off in that this was a BuyBack only release, meaning you buy a pack you get one. Recollection Autos were randomly distributed in packs and tough to pull.

Im mainly speaking as a player collector for cards when they hit the secondary market. The rise I forsee may not be for another year or two, and that is mainly because I look at my want list and drool over the cards of yesteryear that are low numbered which I may never see.

So far for O'neill they repeat years. I have seen a

1992 Topps /19
1992 Topps gold winner parallels /19
1992 Bowman /26

I have seen the same years with Stadium Club and other products from the same year also.

The part that bothers me more is there is at least a few of his cards of his non playing years as new as '13 and '14.

***That doesn't mean these wont have interest

I think the recollection autos have a decent following.

I also think both topps originals and recollection had many more obscure or bit players in them. I know there's players like Vinny Castilla and Juan Gone in this set, but I'd really wanted guys nobody was thinking of, or less popular players like Aaron and Griffey Jr. As a Yankee collector, topps originals was great with Griffey Sr (god knows I've already seen a ton of him in this release), Bert Campanaris, and Ron Kittle. And then recollection had Lee Smith, J.T. Snow and Jay Buhner. Guess I just wanted more players like that in this set

Yes , I agree. My point was they have a following and have maintained value because they were hard to pull as well as being sought after. Where I see the difference with Archives is they are sought after but not really hard to pull because each pack has one. So that may have an effect on value vs the Recollections.

Ryan, I loved the Recollections too

I love the idea of the buybacks, but every Henderson I have seen so far is 1/1. Why not do some /10 or /25 like the current auto's? Just makes it really hard to get one.

Hey topps

You got Ichiro, how about Nomo next year?

That is awesome!

Thanks Tanner! Hopefully these will gather up the funds to have that custom done soon

Very nice hit! Was your Grissom a Brewer?

Hey Andy! Unfortunately not, he is in an Expos uniform on this one. The Yount is in a Brewers uniform though

Love that McGwire !

Ryan

Thanks a ton Ryan!

Is the Cone a Yankee and if so which one. @nevermore and myself are looking for a one as a Yankee. Thanks for your time.

No he is in his Mets uniform. I wish you both luck landing one each in Yankees gear though!

Def impressive Kevin. I have a few of the Clark's , my favorite being the 1986 Donruss Rookies /15. A few others I'd like to add though inc 1987 /10

I agree, but prefer Dodgers. Great way to get some obscure team players at a decent price (usually), if they stray from the norm. Unfortunately, they recycle the same players over and over again. Obviously only hardcore team collectors would appreciate most of the more obscure players and they need people buying their products, so we don't get much variety.

Would be nice to have cards of guys like Doug Rau, Tom Paciorek and other similar fan favorites. Heritage was hitting some of the more obscure 50s and 60s players, but the dodgers have been shortchanged in those issues.

I agree with this. I loved the Recollection autographs because Sandy Alomar Jr. was in the set for my player collection, and for my Red Sox collection I picked up cards of players like Jason Varitek, Dwight Evans, and Carney Lansford. I keep meaning to pick up one for Tony Pena as well.

I compiled this list, complete with images of all known Frank Thomas cards from 2015 Topps Archive Signatures. If you know of anything that I'm missing, please let me know so I can add it. Many thanks.

That's why I loved Topps All-Time Fan Favorites. Hit a lot of the unsung and less popular players with on card autos too-wish they would bring it back.

Thanks,
Jeff

That's a lot of 1/1s

 

[Yanks2151]

After getting outbid for most of the more attractive ones and over paying for the less desired ones I am putting the brakes after chasing these. Unless it's one I can't live without I will be picky for the rest of what pops.

That's my thinking too, makes it tough being a player collector sometimes. Luckily Brandon Wood is probably not gonna have any buy back autos hahaha
