10. Cutting of Ginter
11. "Stras is produced in the same amount as other BC autos"
12. Legends in modern day uniforms/equipment in Chicle
13. Pro Debut series 2
14. No Posey in TC or BC eventhough he was in the first products of year

Dude. Enough. We get it.

 

[notjomommasclint]

man and thats the only company left... sounds like you should board up the windows and doors and get outta the business! or we could write an angry letter and demand that they deliver your cards in bgs 9.5 cases with your desired runs on cards... will that make it better?

Cool, another thread where 011873 is whining about Topps.

Here's some advice: spend less time bitching on the Internet and more time actually learning about the products you're selling. Like hockey, which you've admitted you know nothing about. Which is goddamned hilarious. A sports card dealer who knows nothing about hockey cards

 

[Anthony K.]

Not to pile on, but seriously, every time you start a thread should we just expect it to be you complaining about the cardboard industry?

I understand that a lot of things have happened, thanks to Topps, that have got you all riled up and angry, but must you come on the boards and complain about it to us?

Why not just wait until December 31st, 2010 and then have one mega-complain-post blowout and save us all some time?

I feel like I need to learn about hockey cards. Hell, I feel like I need to learn about hockey. I'm a 10 minute metro ride away from the Verizon Center where the Capitals play and I know nothing about them but there are some great looking hockey cards from what I can tell.

I tend to stay away from these moronic threads but this deserves a post... Dude get over it, there has been some screw ups but 2010 Bowman was an awesome product and Topps Platinum looks intriguing as well. We don't need another thread about someone complaining over topps because you didn't make a good enough return on your bowman chrome case or what not.

I've got burnt on Ginter, Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome, and almost broke even within a couple of hundred dollars on Bowman. Bowman was the only product I didn't pre-buy, paid $900.

The three listed first have been the worst products by far.

 

[mancini79]

"Stras is produced in the same amount as other BC autos"

Did Topps ever come out and say that, or was that just speculation?

 

[ThoseBackPages]

Hockey is fantastic.
Hoops is fantastic.

Grow your mind, and more importantly, your customers minds.

not everything in this hobby is about the $5 and up packs

Yet you put this on your shops site? You hype it as a great company with great product. Yet whine and whine and whine on here. Sounds and looks you're the typical shop owner/dealer to me. Anything to sell it but consider trash, anything to make a buck.

I was at the National every day, and I have no idea what "Strasburg MCG at National" means. Can anyone clarify?

WHAT'S CAUSING THE MOST BUZZ AROUND THE HOBBY?
2010 BOWMAN CHROME BASEBALL!
Due out in October, the 2010 edition might go down in Baseball Card history as the greatest Bowman Chrome product ever!

THIS PRODUCT WILL HAVE A LIFE CHANGING CARD......STEPHEN STRASBURG SUPERFRACTOR AUTOGRAPHED ROOKIE CARD!
The Bowman "Red Border" has sold for OVER $100,000 (yes, you read that right) and here is the kicker.....THE BOWMAN CHROME SUPERFRACTOR IS BETTER!

But what about 103 MPH, $30 million dollar Cuban phenom Aroldis Chapman? Don't worry, he is in here too as an AUTOGRAPH!

And for the first time EVER, there will be autographed TEAM U.S.A. rookie cards!
This product has so much current and future investment potential, it's almost insane!

 

[schmidtfan20]

good thing you didn't bust any topps heritage, your list would of been longer.

It wasn't a MCG giveaway. It was a wrapper redemption at Topps' booth to the first 200 or so in line each day. Topps didn't handle crowd control very well or something.

The MCG was a random drawing for special Stras Topps cards the night of his ML debut. Some MCG codes were randomly selected to get a Strasburg

Yes well I knew Id get a bunch of you know nothings responding. Im used to it.

Im gald, no, Im very happy that you guys have no problem letting topps **** on you product after product. Please, dont let them know how horrible they are, let them ******* on you some more. Just sit there and open wide....no wider, there you go, Sit back and take it.

Anyone ever think...no that would be beyond many here....for a second that perhaps my BC "Pimping" on my site was done months and month ago....more than than because it was delayed much? Oh that would make too much sense for you all. Sorry.

I love Don West but the difference is that he was all lies, all lies (guess I forgot about that $100K Stras huh :lol: thats how long its been since I did it ) Sorry if you guys cant see the difference between lies and promotion. I guess you dont know that you get hit with promotions every second of the day you watch TV or pass an ad. I honestly cant believe the lack of common sense on this board. It is scary.

I would LOVE...LOVE....to sell as much Hockey as Baseball but it just hasnt happened, its my thrid best sport.

Its not about "Oh I lost money on Bowman Chrome", its about the ******* Hobby people. Its about how topps is killing it over and over and over again and if you dont see how, Im sorry for you. Its about what we all love and how Topps is just giving us the F job. Its our hobby and its the worst its EVER been and nothing is being done.

My lack of knowlege about Hockey means nothing. Nada. No one is coming in quizing me before they buy Certified. No one comes in my shop and buys Hockey NOT knowing anything about the sport. Hasnt happened. That sport has its "own set of rules" in this hobby.

Look, as of right now, I honestly could give a rats ass what you guys think cause you are all obviosuly walking encylopedias but in reality, you all just dont get it. For those who dont like the truth, for those who hide their head in the sand, I urge you all to foe me, Lock this down boys.
