2009 Topps T-206...WTF?

[Rudzud]

Refractors?!

So they're doing Ginter AND T-206

bah, this set doesnt appear to be nearly as good as its older counterpart.

Has andrew posted any info about this stuff?

There are some pictures there, plus other assorted release info. I'll do a Dodger set, but won't go after the whole thing. I also believe it won't hold a candle to the '02 release.

 

[Rudzud]

So it looks liek the only thing is has going for it are the whole cut signature thing

And sticker autos..this product looks awful. I gotta remember not to give into buyers impulse at the store when I see this junk.

I was planning on buying this until I saw the sticker autos. Why wouldn't they keep with the mini auto like the first release and ginter. People love them.

UGLY

I liked the 2003 T-205 better myself. Other than the sticker auto's, which it may or may not have and we won't know until it's release, I think it won't be too bad of a product. I'm intrigued.

I really missed the boat on the 02 and 03 tough-to-find Oswalts. Some I might never see. So this set looks great to me.

I loved both 02 and 03 release. Also..that was back when you werent getting a GU or auto per box I think...

I'll try a few for the needle in a haystack fold open buybacks with cuts like the Cobb they show. Did you see the photos of the Unique product coming out, thats what I'll buy more of..wow!

Yeah, I'll prob try some of the Unique.

stickers should never be a part of a vintage themed product but i like the idea of refractor mini parallels.

Still working on the Topps 205 and 206 mini sets, not sure if this one will be worth doing. Definitely not going to bother with the GU/AU sets though.

Will have to say the fold outs look pretty awesome though.

 

[Penno]

Maybe I'm way off base on this, but the potential use of sticker autos suggest to me that they want to keep A&G on a "higher teir" than this product.

Another recycled garbage product brought to you by the king of recycled garbage products, Topps

 

[JoshHamilton]

Oh, and who are they ripping off? The American Tobacco Company, or...themselves?

anymore thoughts about this?

I was disappointed the first time they tried it. I don't think the Photoshop effects the use to make the artwork come anywhere near the quality of original T206. The new scans look just as off, and that more than anything makes me not want to buy it.

Goodwin Champions, on the other hand, looks fantastic production wise and looking forward to a box or two of it!
