No Strasburg in A&G after all?

25 cases and no Strasburg? Must be a retail only thing then, even though the article says not likely...either way...dirty pool again by Topps.

I'm more pissed they didn't put Ike Davis in A&G. Could care less about Stephen Strasburg.

i know one mini has been found so far

Well, if they told you Ike was going to be in the product, and it caused you to spend $5,000 on cases of A&G, and THEN you found out he wasn't going to be in the product... then your situation would be similar.


Personally I think it's funny. Topps is a terrible company, and MLB made a huge mistake making them the exclusive manufacturer.

I got a box with no hits today.

Believe it or not, same here. Would have been cool to attempt an Ike Davis A&G rainbow.

He is in it- there are 3 mini's listed on ebay-

They own bowman why compete against themselves?
That doesn't make sense to me.

The more products he is in......the more products they sell. If it turns out that he is a mini only (and a very tough pull to boot), I don't see people paying for the product like they have with Bowman. The upcoming Bowman Chrome is what's gonna be fun to watch.

He is suppose to be in the remaining Topps products for the rest of the year in some way or another. A bit overkill but it draws in people from other sports and non-collectors who are just Washington fans. Thats the only silver lining is that we are getting some new collectors started but the bad part about it is that they are getting in and seeing the bad side of collecting right off the bat. I just want a Chrome to finish my Bowman set and the future ones likewise but its not like I wouldnt settle for an auto.
Good Luck All

I probably wouldn't have purchased 3 extra cases of this stuff had I known Strasburg wasnt in it.

 

[Hoyt55]

He is in this set, but his card only comes in the mini form (#401).

Looks as if he is only in the rip cards as well. In other words, those Strasburgs are gonna come at about 1 every 200-300 cases!

One more found in Fresno, CA...basesloaded...a customer found one! Best regards, David PS wasn't me!

Yeah, I don't understand why everyone thought he would be a regular mini? He was announced as #401, and that's not part of the normal 350-card set. Did Topps ever announce he would be a 1-per-pack mini like the other non-rip minis?

edit** oops, according to this auction, it wasn't a rip mini:

Wow, guess they are in regular packs. I wonder what the wood 1/1 will bring in?

lol...question of the night right there....if there is one.

 

[porkchops]

I'm sure Strasburg will appear in this years Heritage high#s.
Thats enough Stephen for me.

Only base minis apparently. No parallels. Reportedly there are autos.

Aren't the min's within the rip cards autographed? I pulled a Jered Weaver rip last year, but didn't rip it as it was number 1/25 so I don't know. I would think that since it is not signed, it is going to be an SP in the mini set.
