I think they should dump the Bowman Chrome standalone release. Nobody really wants the vet parallels from there, the checklist is usually pretty weak and it would make Draft AND Bowman stronger. Keep the high draft picks in draft and make the Bowman set a bit bigger, but it would be a much...
I think an approach like this would be cool. Maybe 130 cards in a series, 3-4 base cards in a pack. 4 inserts in a pack including Gypsy Queen, Ginter, Tier One, Heritage base, chrome, mini's, hits, etc...
That way, all of the niche brands would be attainable, but rare. Topps would still be a...
The bigger issue to me than over-saturation is timing of release. That said, I think that a natural progression of releases would help. Obviously Topps 1 first. Then a Bowman, prospect product works. Then A retro product. Then maybe a Topps Chrome Series 1 with all the early season guys...
Yes. One case was 5/25 autos and the other was 10/24. Those aren't really that good of numbers, but Topps is much less likely to screw you per se on some low end, mass run cards vs. some high end, one of ten, one, 25 run cards of hard to get signers. I'm betting 80% of these redemptions are...
Question....what do you think about a company just tossing a brand away never to bust it out again? I think there are a ton of product lines this needs to happen to. My feeling is this....maybe it's not every year you release Ginter or Gypsy Queen or Elite (football, hockey, basketball)...but...
Unscientific? The checklist is weak at best with guys who will sell NOW. There are a few 17-18 year olds in this product that are good prospects...but that doesn't guarantee sell value now. That's a recipe for disaster with the stand alone chrome release. You might get $120 for the Blue Wave...
It's not as bad as it seems....but yes, there are a lot of redemptions. Did a case yesterday and feel that I did well, but 2 of my 3 best autos were indeed redemptions. Wil Myers, Bundy, and Yelich seem to all be live....but this will be rough for rip and flippers as the redemptions will kill...
We just have to keep him happy. He's got offers from Florida, Oklahoma and UCLA still on the table and part of me thinks he'll decommit again. Wondering if he's watching our games thinking that he can help right away....or that he doesn't want to be a part of that.
I am most excited about...
I think its a nice thing on both parts to give the option. Or you can do a split price for Bowman and say hey, it's $28 shipped for everything or $26 shipped for Hits, RCs Inserts but no base. There are some sets where base are a big deal. There are many sets where I don't want them. Passing...
We suck, no doubt. Danny Hope put us in a talent hole that is going to take us a long while to dig out of. Recruiting 5 true OL in 5 years when you are known for being a good OL coach is just downright embarassing. I think we are a legit 3 years from being competitive again because of this...
It seems hypocritical to me to snatch other teams verbals, yet not allow your own verbals to continue to take official visits elsewhere.
And that was Joe Tiller who called RichRod a snake oil salesman. Turns out Tiller was right...
Devin Gardner= human turnover machine.
It's Karma for jacking Russell Bellomy from us a few years ago. How'd that turn out for ya? The next Tom Brady...lolz. Hoke is a skeezier recruiter than Urban Meyer.
3 options
1. Off eBay deal where you take gift as payment
2. eBay deal using the Global Shipping Program. Shipping can get a bit outrageous for the buyer, but its the cheapest way for YOU to ensure you don't get shafted. You get the normal $2-$3 you charge for shipping to send it to the...
I don't think Clowney is can't miss. He thought he could show up, not work hard or be in condition and show out. He got absolutely worked by James Hurst @ UNC in the opener...and Hurst is good and most likely a 2nd day NFL pick....but he's not up to snuff of the guys Clowney would see in the...
Same as with the late release UD football stuff last year....Beckett are suckers and will keep this a 12/13 product. What incentive do they have to not?
But yes, anything marked RC on it, will be considered as such.
Methinks the trade was a "we don't want this guy to accidentally win us a game" trade. I'm just surprised they didn't get more/ask more for Richardson.
