Topps 60th anniversary Auto set /60

[Lancemountain]

Anyone building this set or have a checklist?

I imagine this one is going to be tough to build, with the run to /60.



Are they spread across all the products this year?

 

[Russ S.]

Will be a tough one.

Especially with SP's. Not all are /60.

Ripken is /10

hmm are you talking about the Happy 60th set?

yeah sorry for the confusion, I meant these http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-TOPPS-DIAM ... 2c5ebf73e5

It was a nice set but didn't really appeal to one certain collector. Some nice HOF'ers but then some other
overpriced guys who aren't even in the majors yet like Bryce Harper.

Are you high?
It appealed to the crazy Topps collectors! ::facepalm::

reason I ask is I (finally) got an Utley one, kept getting outbid. I wanted it for my PC but assumed I was battling set collectors.

Would like to see a collection if anyone is building one.

I have pulled Fergie Jenkins (sold for ~$50 on ebay) and Ryne Sandberg (still have), but they are little too gimmicky for me to try for them all.

did it really? couldn't of been a whole lot of them because prices didn't reflect excitment.

I had this Bob Gibson (pulled from Heritage) & sold it for ~$90. I liked it but not a big fan of the "happy 60th" theme. Had it been a Gibson-related inscription I would have kept it.

Yeah, Lance they are spread throughout the different products, mostly this years.

Although the Harper was in the Bowman Sterling, which technically was a 2010 product. One of my buddy's customers at Granite Run Mall pulld one...

I have to admit I liked the 2010 MLB "fake" patch Logomen /50 better. They were very cool looking IMO, especially in-hand.

Do all the autos look as crappy as this?

Excited that topps is finally getting some on-card Dawson autos, but this silver pen looks awful... :?

Also curious who is writing the Happy 60th on these, because it certainly wasn't Andre on this one.
