There was a story on Beckett. "Based on factory cost, the sets should cost at least $200."


Here were my calculations on numbers of sets and odds.


134,790 Parallels (excludes Xfractors)
30 Parallels Per Set


4499 Sets
100 Xfractor "Hot Sets"


4599 Total Sets.


Odds
Superfractor 1:13.6
Printing Plates - 1:3.4
Purple Refractor - 1:2.7
Red Refractor - 1:1.4
Orange Refractor - 1.1:1
Black Refractor - 1.8:1
Gold Refractor - 3.7:1
Green Refractor - 5.5:1
Blue Refractor - 7.3:1
Refractor - 9.2:1

$200?

As in 200 $1 bills?

As in 10 $ 20 bills?

As in no autographs at all?

Lol @ $200. Is anyone else as tired of mini cards in every single Topps product as much as I am?

 

[ballerskrip]

This is one of the WORST ideas that Topps has had in years. Who wants his mini crap to begin with?

My thoughts exactly. It's like they're making this as a response product to meet customers' overwhelmingly incredible demand for mini cards. The only problem is that reality is the exact opposite...minis suck and most people are sick of them.

trying to sell a 2013 product in 2014 (facepalm)

 

[ThoseBackPages]

this should be an online only release, no?

Umm... it says it's a 330 card complete set, not packs.

I see you've realized that... lol

If they had made them as true mini's (ala A&G, GQ etc) I would totally get into the prospecting thing. But the oversized mini's that Topps has fallen in love with over the last couple years are a real turn off.
And for all the mini haters, if you have tobacco-sized mini's that you want out of the house, send me a message, I hoard them

 

[nappyd]

How much ****** is topps on to think this was an ok enough idea to produce it?

I'm getting fifteen sets. Going to crush the odds.

I wouldn't be shocked if Topps cancels this or moved it online exclusive.

Can't imagine ANY distributors or dealers ordering/ wanting it.

I've said it before, history has shown us NOT to XXXX with the size of base cards. Smaller, mini, micro, larger, jumbo, super jumbo, round, whatever. They are not popular.

Inserts? No problem. Mini cards as a base set? Not since 1975.

#ThanksTopps !!!

 

[markakis8]

so this is online only. i see conflicting release dates, is it next week or in early march?

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

If Topps cared about their customers they would realize no one wants this crap...but they dont

 

[Todd44]

Not saying I'm interested in this or would want it (and I'm praying Bronson Arroyo is NOT in it), but didn't Topps have success with the mini set in 2012 at the National?

I may get 25 sets! Will sell them as 25 ct lots... and hope for some low numbered parallels!
There are no veteran cards.. only 330 rookie cards.
110 chrome rookies from Bowman, 110 Bowman chrome and 110 Bowman draft.
