This may be common knowledge, but when will Justin Smoak and Matt Wieters have Topps cards?

I was under the impression that their Razor exclusive deals ran out when they were in the Majors a full year... :?

And thanks!

IF they offer the guys a good price for their signatures, they'll be in Topps.
Offering $2-3 a signature wont get it done.

And right now both Wieters and Smoak are putting up crappy numbers. So far Wieters is a career .263 hitter. Dont see anyone really throwing a fit because he doesnt have a Topps Certifiied Autograph... or even a base card. Im sure there are a few team collectors who would like to a base card.

Weiters has some UD autos. Weird that he doesn't for Topps.

The reason they don't have any Topps cards is because Topps signs each player to a contract.They have Etopps cards because they have a contract with MLBPA for Etopps.They do not have that contract for the pack issued cards.That is why they had Bonds when no one else did after he opted out of the union.

How does UD work then? I thought they were all the same. Did UD have an exclusive contract with Weiters?

UD has MLBPA contract which allows them use of anyone in the League.In order to use autographs they had purchase them from Razor.

No.. What I paid has nothing to do with it...

Players/agents have to decide what autographs are worth..

Topps has a history of passing on players if they think the price is too high..

I don't blame Topps for passing, just like I don't blame Justin Smoak for not signing for $3 a sig..

Bg

Ps- in football, panini just passed on cam newton and mark Ingram for autographs in 2011 FB.. It's their money, they get to choose how to spend it....
