Need some help with 2008 Topps

djrulz · Sep 8, 2013

I have been working on the following sets since 2008:

2008 Topps Dick Perez 1-30 (came in Wal-Mart blasters & packs)
2008 Topps Dick Perez Previews 5 card set (came in factory sets)
2008 Topps Dick Perez Relics (came in Wal-Mart blasters bonus packs)

I have completed the regular set and the preview set. Now the relics set, I have only seen cards from the Series 1 set. However, I have never seen a Tim Lincecum relic. I am wondering if anyone has ever seen one. Perhaps someone here has one. I have all the others from the Series 1 set except for his.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Here is what they look like:

#WDPR1 Manny Ramirez (Jersey) (#ed 30/50)

#WDPR2 Cameron Maybin (Bat) (#ed 46/50)

#WDPR3 Ryan Howard (Bat) (#ed 35/50)

#WDPR4 David Ortiz (Bat) (#ed 39/50)

#WDPR5 Tim Lincecum (NEVER SEEN)

#WDPR6 David Wright (Jersey) (#ed 07/50)

#WDPR7 Mickey Mantle (Bat) (#ed 12/50)

#WDPR8 Joba Chamberlain (Jersey) (#ed 45/50)

#WDPR9 Ichiro Suzuki (Jersey) (#ed 23/50)

#WDPR10 Prince Fielder (Jersey) (#ed 12/50)

I have run into the same issue with the 2008 Topps Target Continuity T-205 Relics/50. I believe these were issued in Target packs.

The basic set is 45 cards.

I have only been able to find relic parallels for the first 15 issued in series 1. I have five from the set.

Beckett claims that only the first 30 of the 45 cards from the 2008 Topps T-205 set had relic parallels: 2008 Topps T205 Relics Baseball Cards Values | Beckett.com

I have never seen a relic parallel from cards 16-30 (or 31-45, for that matter).

They are tough to find. A Joey Votto went for decent money recently: 2008 Topps " T205 "Joey Votto" Game Worn Jersey s N 26 of 50 | eBay

And another Votto is currently listed for a comparable BIN: Joey Votto 1 50 2008 Topps T205 Game Worn Jersey Cincinnati Reds Very RARE SP | eBay

When I started the Dick Perez set, I was thinking about doing that set too. Glad I didn't after seeing some of the end prices for them.

Also, last I checked, Beckett doesn't even recognize the Dick Perez relics.

Anyone else have info on the Lincecum or if there were any Series 2 or Update Series relics produced?
