2013 Topps

[dale]

Today I stopped at Toys R Us and they had 2013 Topps, albeit at their normal ridiculous prices. I caved and bought a few of the bubble packs which once again come with 3 purple Toys R Us exclusive cards. My very first pack yielded card 331 of Jose Reyes in a Blue Jays uniform. Assuming Topps is sticking with the same numbering they have for years (330 per series), this must be a short-print.
I'll post pictures later tonight.

Not bad getting that 331 from Toys R Us. Always love it when Topps comes out with their flagship product.

Nice breaks and Thanks for the scans! So the retail is out early! Best regards, David

I just saw a checklist, and no No. 7 this year. Topps retired the Mantle card. A shame.

Good point - that probably means 331 is just a base card.

They said the retail was coming out earlier than the hobby.

Not a bad break

What do you need for that Mauer purple?

 

[dlackey]

Lmk what your looking for on the emerald cards and Hosmer purple?

Thanks,
Dennis

Nice break. #331 is not a SP since they did not include a Mantle this year the 330 card set goes up to 331. If you are trading I would be interested in the emerald Jones and the Purple Teixiera. PLMK.
Thanks,
Trish

I'm going to hang onto the parallels, so far. Pac Rat, I do have an extra Wal Mart Mauer already if you're interested.

[pac_rat_76]

Certainly. You working on the parallel sets for this year?

 

[dale]

Yes, as well as all the past years. I'd rather trade for something from before this year at this point. If you list out a few Topps Gold, Diamond, Gold Sparkle, Wal Mart or Target cards from 2009 thru 2012, I'm sure I can pick something out.
