2008 Topps Retail Relics Question

[djrulz]

I am hoping to utilize the boards knowledge on this. I am trying to put together the following sets:

2008 Topps Retail Relics
2008 Topps Retail Relics Gold (#ed /99)
2008 Topps Retail Relics Black (#ed /25)

These were found in retail blasters of 2008 Topps Update that I know of. Maybe other blasters also.

I have seen most of the regular set and a few golds and blacks. I am trying to find out if the following cards exist. I have seen some Golds, but no blacks or regulars for some players. Some blacks but no golds or regulars of some players. And some regulars, but no gold or blacks of some players. Beckett has a checklist up for these, but I have at least 10 regulars that they don't have checklisted and they don't have the golds or blacks checklisted at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#RR-AC Asdrubal Cabrera (Don't know what relic)

Lester and Pedroia golds have both been up on ebay. I haven't seen a black of either.

 

[djrulz]

Thanks. I haven't seen the black of Pedroia, but I have the Black of Lester.

 

[JoshB.]

Is this the set you're talking about?

 

[djrulz]

That is the set. Now I know that the Fred Lewis has a Gold.
Thanks

 

[djrulz]

3 have been seen by some members here, are there any others that have been seen? My main concerns are that some of the regulars were not produced.

 

[Brewer Andy]

I know its not on your list, but I haven't seen ANYTHING but a regular for Chris Capuano

 

[djrulz]

Chris Capuano was in the Series 2 blasters and to my knowledge, there weren't any golds and blacks for them as far as I have seen. The golds and blacks were only from the Topps Update blasters.

That makes sense. Sorry about hte confusion and thanks for clearing it up!

 

[djrulz]

Not a problem. Glad I could clear that up for you. I just wish Beckett or Topps would clear up everything so I can move forward with this set.

 

[djrulz]

Has anyone else seen any of these???

 

[djrulz]

One last bump to see if anyone else has seen any on the lists.
Thanks again for the help so far.

Two guys you dont have up there are... Kerry Wood and Rafael Furcal...regular i have both

 

[djrulz]

I have both of those. The list I have are cards I haven't seen on ebay, on trade sites, etc.

 

[DRav87]

Do you have a gold and black of Edwin Encarnacion?

 

[djrulz]

Do you have a gold and black of Edwin Encarnacion?

To my knowledge, he doesn't have a gold and black. His were in the Series 2 blasters. I haven't seen any gold and black parallels from any series 2 relic. Just the Update relics.

Google dragged this from the depths for me as I was looking for into on these Black Retail Relics. I picked up a Clint Sammons Black /25 at a show, mainly as a cheap low #'ed GU to add to my Sportlots inventory. They don't have these in their database, and I don't think they can add them with no actual checklist. Has a definitive checklist ever been figured out for these? I see a few Golds here and there, there's also a Black Luis Gonzalez on ebay right now, but even the base versions seem to be poorly cataloged. How can it be that a set that's not even 6 years old can be poorly known?

I'll get you my checklist that I've gathered over the years a bit later. I gotta take my kiddos to school. I also might need that Sammons for my black set.
