"The cards and inserts look great! I'm interested in "The Cards Your Mother Threw Out" inserts. My guess is based on the picture (1960 Yaz) that they will be reprints. Looking at the intial checklist, I came up with the corresponding reprints. Seems to make sense to me. Of course subject to change!"

If this is correct, look who's lined up to represent the classic 2006 Topps design??? I can't wait to see how Topps handles this one.
Also, on a totally unrelated note, and the point of me posting this in the first place. New information shows that there will be a new MLB Properties Rookie Card Logo that will appear on official Rookie Cards everywhere in 2010. And check out how it looks.
I'm loving this. If this doesn't get that other card company rattled...

I figured they would have used the Nolan Ryan rookie card instead of the 88 Topps Card.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure everyone's Mom threw out their 2009 Topps Evan Longoria. It's a great idea for an insert set, but I would've stopped it with the 1975 set and done multiple cards from '75 and before. After 1975, people saved cards, and I'm sure that few, if any mothers threw their kid's collection out.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the sell sheet on the beckett blog that the cards your mother through away http://blogbeckett.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/first-look-2010-topps-baseball-cards/millioncard/
ReplyDeleteis a giveaway for every base card since 1952. Maybe there is a giveaway and reprint set.
It will be interesting to see if they indeed produce a 2006 Topps Alex Gordon reprint card. Not only that, but again speculating on the years, they could produce a couple other rare reprint cards. 1977 Topps Reggie Jackson (Orioles uniform) and 1990 Topps Frank Thomas with no name on the front. That way they could have 3 reprints of cards that Topps threw out! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been writing to Topps once or twice a year about doing a 2006 Gordon reprint as a future insert since that card came out. I would have been happy as heck with it being a single card insert. I hate that hole in my complete set.
ReplyDeleteWhether my input had any influence, I don't know, but I'll be scanning eBay as soon as people start breaking cases.
