Just confirmed with Clay at Topps. STRASBURG AUTOS IN GINTER

[theplasticman]

June 30th release date now.
So Cashburg will have a base card, but it will be a sp????

I'm curious about that. Would it be 3x-5x the value of a non-SP? More? Minis?

 

[schmidtfan20]

If the base stras is an SP look for it to be worth 8 bucks per. Maybe more with the hype. SP mini would be around
20 with A&G back 30, black back maybe 50, there will also be a numbered to 50 no number back and a bazooka
back, also 4 plates, 10 silks and 1 wood mini..plenty to chase. Could their be rip cards and ext minis? Possibilities
are endless.

Well I guess this news leaked out a couple days ago, as all case presells under $1200 on ebay have been snapped up.

Woods and I believe silks are hobby only, but everything else should be in there, what I like about a box of ginter
is you could pull a few nice cards, one auto and a nice numbered mini, most boxes its one good pack and 23
garbage packs.

All most positive woods have been pulled form retail.

Can you get on the hot line with Clay and get info on what exactly Cashburg cards are going to be in 2010. Now on Blowout they are claiming he is just getting a mini sp? that just sounds cray. Why wouldn't he get a regular sized card. If his only cards are found in rip cards, those will be impossible to find. Has Ginter fixed the flashlight trick on those?

I remember seeing that someone got a wood 1/1 from a retail packk at Rite Aid.

Only problem was it was caught between packs when it was sealed and cut in half :shock:

Really, the guy pulled half a wood card!

 

[schmidtfan20]

just contacted Clay, Ill let you know what I find out.

You might want to triple your values.

Danica was pretty hot when she was back in 2006, Bruce Lee in 2007, I can't see Strasburg out selling those
people just because there are far more Stras out there. Who knows. I hope Clay isn't ignoring me.

I'd be shocked if he does not outsell those guys. 98% of people who look at baseball cards are (duh...) baseball and baseball card fans, not racing fans or Kung Fu fans. While the supply for Strasburg is going to be far greater, the card is being targeted at the market that is most interested, unlike with the Lee and Patrick cards. Throw in the huge following that Ginter has and I'll be shocked (barring a big decrease in prices for Strasburg before then, or a huge print run) if the Strasburg does not outsell those.

Maybe, but racing fans are just as rabid has any sport fans. A quarter sized swatch of fabric from something worn
by Bruce Lee was fetching 300+ a few weeks after release. Lets hope that all the goodies are in there and not just
a few base SP cards sprinkled in.

My buddy pulled the stephen drew wood from a target blaster in 2008. He also pulled the ichiro bazooka back from a blaster got it graded a 9.5 from BGS and sold it way too low imo.

 

[SeattleSports]

Does anyone know if he has a base card or is just the auto redemption?

I definitely believe that but I wonder how many of them are even aware that a card was released in a baseball set, and how many who know want a "baseball card."

 

[SeattleSports]

Take it for what its worth, but I just got this email when I inquired to the guy I've been getting my cases from for years.

I talked to my distributor earlier today and he told me the release date is 6/30 also he said there will be GU and auto of Strasburg in Allen & Ginter

easy to believe, topps has seeded GU redemptions in the past, and have taken their time getting it, so that doesn't
surprise me, the issue here is what else will be in the product...base and minis. I don't need to tell anyone adding
his auto, even with say a print run of 50, will help sell product, but adding in all kinds of other goodies and parallels
will REALLY add value. I am hoping that they can get his regular card in as well as the minis.

Kevin

 

[SeattleSports]

I'm really really hoping that he has a base card. Topps said he is in the set with an auto and mini. I'm hoping that doesn't mean a rip exclusive mini.

I'd be much more inclined to bust cases if he had a base card in the set.

Same here.
