The 1998 Topps Tek Thread

I would love to watch the 2014 Tek release and not see Belle in it. Probably cool for anyone who collected in the '90s to maybe get them back into collecting or even the Tek set collectors from the '90s to dive in and go after another large massive set, etc. I totally get it.

For me, I don't need the F'ing rat race to chase 100 patterns and all sorts of stupid parallels IMO. Look at the 2014 Topps release... there is a base card of Belle which has swamped eBay and everyone and their mother is looking for $2 plus $3 s/h for it! LOL! I mean this is going to be a disaster... eBay will be flooded with every single card in the release - including all base, etc. Sorry but that is just a disaster and I'm just not interested in it. Good luck to everyone else but I'm hoping he isn't in it but god knows he will be.

I think with the strength of the case breaking scene these days there will be plenty of opportunities for player/team group buys upon release to help us PC guys pick up a fair amount of commons in a few scoops. I wish COMC was better about getting new product up ASAP, they're a much more economical venue that eBay to pick up new release singles.

Link doesn't work for me at least.

I'd have to think box prices will die off. This diffractor madness has made gauging prices impossible. When commons can command anywhere from $5 to $75 there is no baseline. Perhaps the buyers are thinking it can only go up?

I said the same thing months ago, and was called "brash".

Looks like maybe some of the boxes purchased for stupid money are being opened and thrown up on eBay, which is good to see for us

I hope so. Saw 2 Brady's so far neither one I need but just to see new stuff listed was nice.

Some of the Belle's were spelled Albert Bell, and didn't show up in my search haha
