Should Topps Bunt Replace Topps Opening Day?

[fordman]

Hi All!

I'm really liking the 2016 Topps Bunt physical card release. The cards look great plus their price point is right on with Topps Opening Day. There are auto's, decent inserts plus numbered/colored parallels too.

I really think Bunt should replace Opening Day as the low end/budget card for youngsters/collectors.

What do you think?

id say no. mainly because I don't know much about bunt other than I tried to join up but you have to do it through your phone and I don't want to do that. But opening day does have auto and GU too...I got a pack of bunt but the cards felt so cheap and thin...

I like them, but why cant Topps have two cheap sets for kids? Maybe that's why they are trying to make up for it with $900 packs of The Mint

I Dunno, but do you need a Bruce physical bunt?

I've never purchased Opening Day or done the Topps Bunt thing so it wouldn't matter to me one way or the other but personally I don't care for the design shown in the OP. Reminds me too much of the random insert sets issued in the Topps series during the '09-'11 years which I generally just tossed after the sets I put together no longer could sell on E-Bay for a few bucks.

Opening Day has more inserts obtainable, than Bunt..
Not 1 in 800 or 1500 or 3000 packs like Bunt has

First I heard of Topps Bunt as physical cards. Gwynn has a ton of Bunt cards on Ebay that I just skip over. Is there a place to go to check which ones are physical? Or is it just starting? Thanks for the info, guys!

Looks like Gwynn isn't in it

Keep them both, Opening Day early in the year, and Bunt later on.

Ah, thanks! I was hoping it was like Topps Now.

Although I think Opening Day could use a bit of an overhaul, I think two low-end sets is a good thing.

They actually had physical Bunt cards in 2015 Topps and 2015 Topps Update. 50 cards, serial #ed /25. I don't believe Gwynn had a card in this.

Nah. Keep both. Opening Day to get the kids excited at season start and Bunt to promote the app later on. I don't see the problem with two low end releases in the year.
