Does Nishioka have a auto in Topps Chrome?????

[matchpenalty]

Still no signs that Nishi has an auto in 2011 Topps Chrome. Sell sheet had a mock of him having a auto in it. None have hit Ebay. Still early, but you see just about everyone else has had a few listed.
Did Nishi get a big ego when Sidsgraphs and Fan Hq probably overpaid big $$ to get him to sign. So he thought he could up his price to Topps?

Paging JP, Schmidtfan, Gilmore with Topps contacts. Maybe they can find out.

possible sp you think?

have all autos in the checklist so far popped up?

I figure that although he's not playing well at all, his base chrome auto would outsell almost everyone at this point due to japan collector factor..

He has been brutal. But his auto will still sell for big $. Like you said the Japan factor will be huge. His first cert and a lot of Twins collectors want his auto. I don't think he is much of an ip signer either. So his Chrome cert auto was gonna be first chance to get it.

Not sure if anyone else hasn't had an auto show up yet from TC. Maybe someone else knows.
Ben Revere was a late add. I'm thinking Topps got him when Nishi screwed them on his deal. I guess will see what Topps has to say. Still holding out hope Nishi signed, he had plenty of time with all time he was out with injuries.

Anybody seen any yet????
I wonder if Nishi FU Topps all around. He is also supposed to have autos in Marquee.

MP relax a little
We will eventually find out

I wish Nishioka did not have an auto on a Twins contract.

 

[yrocks2001]

As a huge Twins fan I would rather have an autograph of almost any other player in the set than Nishioka. He has been just awful at the plate and in the field this year.

I will open 4 boxes tonight and i guarantee you the first shot at a Nishioka auto if i get one (if you want it).

I would rather pull a card that just had a note from Topps that just said, "we are sorry, but you were about to pull a Nishioka auto, to better serve you, we have pulled this card from production. we thank you and hope you continue to enjoy all of the great products topps has to offer."

A redemption just hit the bay.

 

[matchpenalty]

Boom there it is!!! Sucks it's a redemption. But better than nothing. Now the wait for big price drop after the first bunch sell for a ton.

 

[madbull34]

So far only 2 listed on the bay. Must be a SSP considering the amount being ripped.

 

[madbull34]

One of the auction states only 50 made. Can't confirm though.

Hmm. The others were for base autos. This one is for the gold refractor. Wonder how many base autos there are?

Just pulled a base auto rookie variation, and listed it at 5, and someone hit the bin at 7 for $80.00. It must be super shortprinted because I thought maybe 50 because of the Japanese collectors. The two listed now that are base are at 21, and 37 repectively. Think they are worth $100.00+
