2010 Topps Lincoln Mystery Solved

[clarkfan]

I'll gladly admit I'm wrong if they do indeed become "1 per case" pulls though. I've been wrong many of times before. Maybe we'll see 10 on there by the end of the night, now that we've seen the first official one listed.

As soon as the press release comes out, I'll throw mine up for 7 days and let it ride...it will be neat to see what true market bears for it.

 

[TomMurry]

I hope you guys list your cards and some fool with more money than sense offers you a crapload of cash for it.

We pulled 0 "Pie variations" out of our Jumbo case.2 hobby boxes and somewhere around 100 retail packs.
Mike

Well, that backs up the idea that these are in the same quantities as the one per case "Pie" variations. Obviously it is speculation...but way too plausible.

Perfect timing to pull and list.

kind of a small sample to draw that kind of a conclusion, no?

I don't know exactly how to comprehend what I wrote when I wrote "Obviously it is speculation..." but yes, it is a small sample size. Isn't that obvious? Am I calling it fact? No. But extremely possible.

To my knowledge, the "Pie" variations were one per case. Is that incorrect? And considering Topps themselves lumped the "Pie" variations in with the mysterious Lincoln card, we can SPECULATE that they were to be of the same print run.

Hmmm, now let's ponder a bit why people weren't scouring over their Milton Bradley cards as much as the Yankees for the Pie variations. Multiple reasons jump to mind...first and foremost, Topps announced that there were "Pie" variations for the Yankees. Secondly, it's the Yankees. Third, it was incorrectly assumed by some on various message boards that the Lincoln appearance was in the Hornsby SP. Fourth...it's Milton Bradley.

Let's see where we are in a month.

My assumption (obviously opposite of yours) is that we will see roughly the same amount of these Bradley variations as we see any specific "Pie" variation.

well.....I just checked my yankees and my bradley card.....a swing and a miss on both!!!!!

To the OP

I commend you for your sharing of information, but you blew a huge chance to make a lot of money. You were the only one who noticed this. You should own about a 100 of these right now. It is rare in life to have these types of opportunities and you pretty much blew it. Now you may be well off and not care about these things.

Just my 2 cents that nobody asked for
Mark

So, you are telling me that If his card sells for 500, mine won't?

Did you see the article that Beckett did about me and my card? Topps has to put out a PR now right?

 

[tonsofcommons]

What he is saying that you had an opportunity to put a listing out there saying "WTB 2010 Topps Milton Bradley cards" and you would have had tons of people throwing them at you and you could have gotten a landmine of bradleys for next to nothing.

It's doubtful that it's a possible $750-1000 card, that's for sure.

I told people to look at either cubs or sox cards only because he lived in Illinois so long (and represented them etc).

I'm not sure why you say it's obviously opposite of mine. I like to see more information to come up with a conclusion. Obviously needing more information is speculative.

Based on your reasoning, finding the Bradley would have been purely coincidental as it was irrelevant to where Lincoln lived or that he represented them.

 

[chiefer77]

As far as the one per case goes. I watched a youtube video of a case break, I actually called the shop that did it and they didn't get one. So I don't know if that means anything or not.

Bradley was a Cub. It would make sense to me that a team in the state the man lived would have the variation. Not sure how that's coincidental but sure.

What was your advice that wasn't purely coincidental?

One what?

One Bradley SSP or any one SSP (Yankees "Pie" included)?

It was my understanding that the SSPs (previously thought to be just the "Pie" variations) were one per case. Therefore, my assumption would be that every case would average any one of the SSPs..."Pie" or Bradley.

Obviously this is just guesswork, but if I were a gambling man...I'd say that the print runs for the Bradley and "Pie" variations are exactly the same.

Has nothing to do with where he lived...I guess you havent read the story about why its on the Bradley card.

I guess not. I thought Topps hadn't said anything at this point?

I'm meant the Bradley per case. I am calling the guy at legacy sports cards back tomorrow to see if he located one. He didn't pull one out of his case.

I didn't imply that the Bradley's were to be one per case, and extremely doubtful that they would be. Just like each "Pie" variation isn't one per case.

It would make most sense that the SSPs average about one per case...IE: any of the "Pie" variations or the Bradley.

So, you are telling me that If his card sells for 500, mine won't?

No I hope you get that amount...but you could have easily had 10 of them by now...and $5000 feels a lot better than $500
