Yaz is sweet one.
Good call on J Ham.
Schmidtfan might have to work his Topps sources on some unofficial print runs wink wink on this year.
I like the mystery and doubt Topps will officially release print numbers. Sure we will get some good speculation on them just by how many pop on Ebay.

No print runs hurts and helps. 2006 prices are high on some because the print run is known. Do collectors realize how SP a card is 1-year after release if it is not stated? My $.02

i think it helps the hard core Ginter collectors who follow the autos. We know what is sp and ssp. So when bozo dealer who has no clue and puts a reasonable bin on one we jump all over it. Like the guy who scored the Robinson.
Having print runs will let dealers/collectors who know nothing put huge bin on them because they know print runs. Let hardcore followers get paid.

Pedroia, Wells, Hunter seem they also could be sp some.

No question this years Ginter auto checklist is off the charts. Will be interesting if anybody does a blue or a red ink set and completes it. So many tough ssp in it.

I believe Crawford, Stanton, and Uggla are SP'd as well.

From a RIP card

YU DARVISH ~ 2012 TOPPS ALLEN & GINTER RED AUTO AUTOGRAPH #10/10 #AGA-YD

It's getting harder and harder not to rip the Hosmer /25 and Stanton /50 sitting on my desk right now, haha.

Figures. I was all ready to bid on the Blue Aaron and the seller pulls the auction. Bullsh&@t move. I bet it was a back door deal too. If you are willing to do that, then don't post it as an auction and get people all excited.

I'm sure it doesn't fit in but I just bought the first one of these I saw:

Nice red ink Rizz.

Does suck that blue Aaron got pulled on Ebay. The only other one sold for $480. Such a cool looking card. Probably would have broke $500.

 

[sigma_chi]

I pulled a Bob Knight, there have been roughly 25 listed or sold since the product came out.

Gallardo looks like an SP as well.

Never knew he was in the set... nice find!

starting to think some of blue inks of likes of Aaron could be 10 or less. Anyone keeping a photo data base on HOF super rare blues. Way to help keep a pop report on them that surface on market.

I have a gallordo blue, guess I should list it

10 would be the lowest......dont forget there is a TON of unopened hobby and retail boxes. Many of these autos will be more plentiful. Cant see Topps making more Koufax when compered to Mays, Aaron, etc.......not for this set.

i own two red autos. a arnold palmer and a sandy koufax. you can add those to the count.

EDIT: i haven't posted them on eBay yet. the palmer is serial numbered 10/10.

eBay or off site pickups?
