I was looking at the non sports cards like this but decided against getting any because they can be faked way to easy.
All topps did was hot stamp a foil logo onto the cards. If someone has access to a hot stamp machine they can make as many of whatever cards they wanted to.
It really amazes me some of the stuff Topps does.
For those that don't know what a hot stamp machine is here's a small youtube video of one. This is a bit different from the one I had worked with in the past but you will get the general idea of how they work and how easy it would be to counterfeit these cards.

If its true that these buybacks are leftovers from the Million Card Giveaway, then it makes sense that they'll be mostly commons and minor stars. You won a Mantle or Clemente, you had it shipped to you. You won a 1978 Andre Thornton, you said XXXX it and let Topps keep it. I have seen a few stars on League Leader/multi-player cards, but almost no straight-up high dollar stars.
