Re: 2009 Topps Attax Baseball

I don't know whats worse...the product itself or the fact some ******* at topps actually thought this was a good idea.Either way...good way to make a crappy product player collectors will forcefully be obligated to buy to have complete collections of their players.This stuff better retail at no more than $1 a pack.

What do you want as a player collector??
$50 cards coming out of $500 packs or $1 to $5 cards coming out of packs like these and yes the booster packs retail @ $1.00 a pack for 5 cards

This.Makes me feel better about paying 4.00 to have it shipped to me.I dont buy base because I cant see myself paying 4.00 for shipping to get a 1.00 card.

Then you are buying from the wrong sellers...
If you bought one card from my website, s/h would be $2.25
I don't gouge on shipping..
and I even have a $50/$100 club where you buy the cards you want and I don't ship them until the hundred dollars is spent and I charge 1 shipping charge for that...
If you can wait to have the base cards or low end inserts, you can save a lot of s/h

:lol: Are you serious?

I want a nice looking well designed base card and I wouldn't mind paying $3 for a pack of around 10 cards or so.But to put that crap out when they know damn good and well the game aspect of it will do about as well as a fart in church is ridiculous.And since that should and most likely is the reason they made it...why even make it?Are they really hoping there is enough completists out there or what.

I don't like big dollar packs.I like my base topps just fine.But I certainly don't think baseball cards attached with a gaming gimmick is the way to go and showdown should have proven this.

Okay...I see where this is going.Well...here is my idea...why don't you just buy a ton and be happy with them.Hey...its all about what you like anyway.Why take my opinion for anything more than it is?All I am saying and I am sure if you care to be logical you will agree, is that this will tank miserably for its intended purpose.Or are you saying people will love it like the do Yughio or MTG?

I think more player/team/set collectors will buy it...
That's what I was saying, then you said you wouldnt buy base cards because of $4 shipping.
then I mentioned how you could solve that , then you went into the gaming part...
I know people will buy it for their player/team collections and others will buy it to collect complete sets and some will buy to play the game...

I...um...actually never mentioned shipping.That was another fella.

I know just because I don't do the gaming thing does not mean others won't enjoy it but if the only collectors who will most likely pick this up is team or player collectors...why make a game out of it?I don't think any baseball card oriented game was ever a big hit going all the way back to classic.In fact I have never even seen not one person play or even say they knew someone who even knew how to play the games.So my point is, all this info taken into consideration...why aim at a demographic that will not embrace the product?Why not just throw the money into a cheapy set and call it a baseball card and leave it at that?

Yes, I will buy for Hanley, Billingsley, and Shoppach.

Re: 2009 Topps Attax Baseball

Oh sorry, I thought the s/h was your response... I apologize..

I'm not sure if this is a product that is included in their 17 products a year (or whatever number they are allowed to make) or if this doesn't count towards that number...

The idea is that kids are going to like it, not the adults on this message board. It's targeted for them. Besides, the Attax concept is big in Europe thanks to the Match Attax games for football...I mean soccer...and the WWE Slam Attax.

Maybe it will tank. You never know. I know that I for one can't wait for this product to come out, even if I have to wait on the Bay to see what complete sets are going for.

And so that you can never say your bolded line ever again, my daughter and I are experts on Hot Button Baseball!!!

I'm not sure if this is a product that is included in their 17 products a year (or whatever number they are allowed to make) or if this doesn't count towards that number...

I remember reading the contract where it said that (speaking of which) a card product like Hot Button Baseball would not count towards the number of products they had to put out. So this might not count towards the 17 product quota. I may be wrong of course.

Re: 2009 Topps Attax Baseball

Topps had a very similar idea in place in 2002 with Topps Performance base (see prototype below). It was to compete with Showdown, and it had a dice-based game on the back. Each card would also have a scratch-off code to enter into a website that allowed you to use cards to build a weekly fantasy team and compete for prizes from the Topps vault. I thought, if executed correctly, that this fantasy idea was a good one that could drive sales (both primary and secondary). I spent a helluva lot of time setting the performance numbers for a 150 player checklist and sitting through production meetings only to see the product get sidelined. I guess they are doing something similar now with the added incentive of going around the 17-product MLB limit.

I understand its aimed towards kids but my point was...most kids will most likely be as excited and entertained by it as they were with the other games that have come out.So the only back up plan would be for regular collectors like us to enjoy it and we are most likely not going to enjoy the quality or gimmick of it.Thats all I am saying.

so Bruce has a Gold and Code Card, but no base or silver?

strange

 

[sportscardtheory]

Two reasons sets like this don't do all that well: Playstation and X-Box. This product will most likely tank, and I don't believe anyone will be busting wax of it to get their players. Why is this even posted on FCB? I'm off to make an Upper Deck X thread...
