[A_Pharis]

Yeap, just as everyone figured, Ferrell will be immortalized on cards featuring his stints with each team:

YES!

I'm actually not to excited about this, it's just gonna make the box prices jump up a lot like the Sheen auto did the other year. Archives is a set I like to do every year but it's tough to spend that much on what's supposed to be a lower end product.

But that's just my selfish, crabby opinion

Yeah I agree, stuff like this is good for the hobby but it'll drive box prices way up

Super pumped, will be putting some money aside to get one, I don't see this being cheap at all, but would definitely be a unique centerpiece to the D-backs collection. Go well with my John McCain card.

i love the idea but they should have put it in a different product.

 

[smapdi]

Why just 10 copies? Set up some sort of redemption program with 1000 copies of each. Redemptions should be handled by anyone but Topps of course.

Or just insert them. Not sure why I went with redemptions.

Because each redemption would require a payment of something nominal like $5 or $10 to be donated to cancer research. Jeez, forgot about that while typing.

That's how I feel as well. If they gave him a Bowman Prospect auto I would have loved that

I'd do a Ricky Bobby "Best Lines" chase set...

 

[rsmath]

what's the detail on the regular cards? easy enough to get a complete insert set of the 10 or are they going to be SP'ed and Photo Var'ed like topps likes to do?

I want to get a base card of Ferrell wearing 4 of the 5 teams' uniforms that Adam Dunn played on each signed by Dunn.

Nobody would ever notice the difference.

Same if you did it with Ben Roethlesberger lol

I'm pretty excited to see what all the non-auto variations will look like.

 

[fordman]

Doesnt Ferrell look 55+ years old in those card samples?

ESPN was just talking about them

 

[AnthonyCorona]

They should auction or sell complete sets for charity

This doesn't make much sense in terms of distribution and is a total sell out by Topps....Topps could have offered many different options on their online Topps store and given all the proceeds to the charity he supported, aka Upper Deck with the Lauren Hill card. Instead, by limiting them to /10 and inserting into Archives all they are worrying about is selling more boxes/cases. I'd be worried about the quality of Archives considering Topps feels they need Ferrell to boost sales.

Totally tone deaf move and a missed chance at doing some good by Topps IMO.

Thanks,
Jeff

Pre-orders were due to Topps on Feb 8th, so they sold out a long time ago.
Not sure when they made this decision to add it to Archives, but this will help the secondary market, and help distributors/resellers to sell out the product..
