Sooooo many redemptions.

mancini79 · Feb 22, 2014

Seeing how the most expensive cards are redemptions (thus hurting their values), I would not have been happy with the break. The person that bought the Ryan for $700 could be kicking themselves once/if they receive the card.

Bingo.I would not like Topps putting some unneccesary gold stamp on the card.I do not like altering original cards like that, especially vintage.

I've had a discussion with Topps about this very issue. I told them how much collectors do not like the idea of altering original, vintage cards with a gold embossed stamp. However, if you look at completed auction prices on eBay, you will see that the stamped buyback cards sell for more than original cards. This is probably why Topps will continue to stamp these cards.

Who is them?
Did you speak to a customer service representative on the phone, or a high ranking Topps official in person?

Based on this Top 10, I can't imagine he did too well on this break. And aside from those clears, what an ugly product!

It's the complete sets that he makes his money on.

Then I've got good news for you: it's a silver stamp. :benson:

That is just a depressing read. Redemption, stickers. There is just nothing here that I think is really all that impressive.

But people buy it, so good for Topps.

I know a few collectors who would beg to differ...buybacks are SO cheap and easy for Topps I can't imagine they'll stop.

Not counting master sets, but selling sets is not where you make money, you actually lose money on base sets.. cost is about 14 cents per card, 330 cards in a set, so it costs $46 to make a base setand base sets sell for about $10 ea.. (plus time to sort them into sets). 360 jumbo boxes makes about 480 sets x $10 a set is $4800.

60 inserts per bx times 360 boxes =21600 inserts is where the money is.

Last year, I had a discussion with a higher up from Topps on two issues I had: stamping original cards (and how much I hated this). The other issue was honoring Mickey Mantle by not issuing a #7 in the flagship set. I asked them to please take a poll and ask collectors their thoughts. The official said that my issues would be considered, however, I believe he is no longer with the company unfortunately.
