I pulled a 2015 Dynasty Clayton Kershaw Redemption, which I thought was strange since I've seen a lot of the /5 and /10 cards live in the product. Did some eBay searching and found no 1/1's listed or sold. I did find 2 other redemption sales. I'm thinking the redemptions are for the 1/1's (?)...
Just received this, heads up to anyone else that entered code cards...
Thank you so much for playing the Babe Ruth's Call Your Shot game found in Topps Baseball Series One. We have seen a great amount of participation and are excited to begin shipping prizes to all winners. In our effort to...
Looks like the resale market on these fell through the floor, so I'll be working my way through 25 scratch offs (selecting the Autograph box every time).
The autograph Tiers are pretty brutal, but what the hell.
Here we go!
Edit:
5th card scratched not bad not bad:
Much of my collection has expanded into autographed memorabilia. As I browse eBay it's depressing to see time take a toll on the ink signatures on many pieces. I'm curious if anyone has ever tried an automotive-type clear coat preservation? Or is that ridiculous and paranoid LOL.
Thought of a fun and relatively cheap project to work on in the off season, say you want to supercollect a modern era player (less than 4-5years in the majors) - would BGS 9.5's or PSA 10's be more desirable? I realize this may be a Ford vs Chevy type of question, just curious on opinions...
I redeemed this card the week of product release:
A couple months later 2013 Five Star Baseball came out, a live Schmidt knob was pulled.
Fast forward to 2014 Tier One release, live Schmidt knob was pulled.
Lo and behold I check the sell sheet for the 2015 release and look what I find...
Forgot to turn off my international shipping rules on an auction (have read some horror stories about shipping overseas). Just got a $1500 offer from South Korea. How foolproof is eBay's Global Shipping Program?
I've decided to move the 4 cases of 2014 A&G that I pre-ordered. Anybody move sealed product via anything but eBay? Seems like their 10% cut + offering free shipping puts me even lower than my wholesale cost. Not sure how these case/box sellers do it, pretty sure I got in as cheap as they did...
Pulled this purple /10 beauty today, glad to see he just made #31 in the Midseason Top 50 Prospects List.
As always, now the dilemma is whether to sell or hold haha.

Bought an unused auto redemption on eBay last month, received it and entered the code online. Seller advertised it as #/25 in the title and description. I'm looking through the set checklist online a few days later and it turns out it's actually numbered #/75. Is it my fault for not thoroughly...
I have been waiting on a Mike Schmidt bat knob redemption from 2013 Tier One for 10 months. Since I redeemed this card I have seen actual LIVE Mike Schmidt bat knob cards in:
2013 Tier One Baseball (autograph + bat knob)
2013 Five Star Baseball (bat knob)
2014 Tier One (bat knob)
So 3 products...
Anybody know the significance of the "220" he wrote on all the 2013 versions? Is it just a reference to 220lbs?
Compared to the 2012 versions that's pretty lazy LOL
I want to try a case of 2006 Bowman Chrome, I know I will get murdered but it'll be just for fun. Having a hard time locating anything (all I see are single boxes from D&A). Anyone have resources on older product?
I admittedly don't keep close tabs on prospects, but what happened with this guy? Everybody move on to Abreu & Bryant?
Base Auto (raw): March $90 / May $45
Blue Auto (raw): March $317 / May $160
Green Auto (raw): March $399 / May $200
Guess I sat too long on all his Bowman Draft stuff I...
Had a large BGS order pop today, got a few 9.5 & 10 slabs coming back that haven't ever sold before on eBay.
Is there a general rule of thumb that you use when listing BIN/BO vs the price of an identical raw card (i.e. BGS 9.5 = 2x raw price, BGS 10 = 3x raw price, etc)?
Just curious.
I've been wanting to break into basketball, this upcoming draft class seems as good of time as any.
Having primarily collected baseball all my life, I'm ignorant to the "preferred" basketball product releases.
What would you say are the go-to ones? i.e. the bowman chrome/draft of the...
useless (to me) base cards, nothing older than 2010. will cost you $17.45 to ship Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box. will post more boxes when they become available. PM for paypal address.
Has Topps ever actually fulfilled redemptions like these in previous year releases (i.e. sending a full-sized bat/jersey/etc.)?
It would be the highlight of my collection to receive something, but I am very skeptical to redeem based on all the redemption horror stories and waiting I have read...
