Who remembers Topps Total from early 2000s? Topps largest set and it was well priced at $1 a pack. Topps brought Total back last year as online exclusive releasing the packs in waves for $10 a pack. Thing is they do not release checklist on the wave til certain time frame to purchase a pack passed. You are going in as a blind draw. This year I decide to try my luck and see what comes out of it. The pack I bought is wave #6 featuring cards 501-600. It's delivered in a box with a pack inside just like Topps Finest.
560 - Jordan Luplow - the cards are glossy front to back with no stats. Just text highlights on the back of the card.
520 - Cy Sneed - Astros player for my team collection and its a rookie. Very shaky along rest of bullpen early this season. I'm still afraid of the pitchers with Dusty Baker managing the team.
545 - Randal Grichuk - locked out of Toronto due to covid the team temporary making their home in Buffalo this season.
570 - D.J. LeMahieu
501 - Colten Brewer - first card of the wave #6 portion of the set.
569 - Tommy Kahnle
574 - Taylor Clarke
586 - Travis Demeritte - one of his first official rookie card despite having Bowman Draft Pick card in 2013
589 - Duane Underwood Jr.
575 - Brandon Woodruff - an All-Star last year. Assumes he doesn't have any injuries issue in coming few years he going be Brewers ace.
592 - Nick Wittgren (7/10) - red border parallel card numbered to 10. One comes in every pack that it can be numbered from /1, /5, or /10.
I feel I got hosed but I collect for fun. Know anyone who attempted 2019 or this year's Topps Total set?
I built the 2002 Topps Total set, including the inserts. It was fun, but have no desire to do it now with the price point Topps has set.
ReplyDeleteI did the Padres team set last year and am doing it again this year. I wait until they are on ebay and buy the singles I need.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rod except Braves instead of Padres.
ReplyDeleteI like the design... but have never purchased any packs. I did receive some A's singles from Rod though :)
