Wow Mr. Stacy, I have spent thousands looking to pull a red or a brooklyn or no #.  If you have anymore let me know  thanks

You got it!  This is what i had before i sold. Brings a tear to one's eye - all those rare cards in one display.

It is better to have had and sold than to have never had at all or something like that.  They Brooklyn was from Japan. i didn't realize Topps had worldwide fans.

[dolphriends]

Wow!. That is impressive I must say   I would have had a difficult time selling knowing chances of finding another is slim.

What you have to realize is the way collections are put together by bigtime card collectors, some collect a brooklyn of each card, so you may never see another brooklyn because they are used to complete sets.  Same with the mini reds, printing plates and so on.   

Happy hunting all

Hmm. i never thought about that. but then again one guy wanted certain black borders to complete a set.

I'm ok with it. i'm not fully converted on the cards, so it makes me happy to see true believers hold the rare ones.  just don't tell me in 10 years a red is worth 25k.

The hunt for the cards for me is funner than the holding.  i was into R/C planes at one point and liked to build, but not flying necessarily.  To each his own i suppose.

Interested in picking up a Brooklyn back /25 if anyone's is willing to sell.  Maybe a glow mini too.

Does anyone have an actual picture of the 1/1 silver X mini? Still not surfaced?

When the silver mini 1/1 does show up, it will be so expensive I can't even imagine.  About 5 brooklyn's have surfaced and I seriously doubt anyone is letting one go unless an offer is made that just can't be turned down.  Best of luck with the hunt

That is like catching a unicorn on February 29th. hard to do.

i've only heard of 3 glow cards and there is no official count of them or am i mistaken?  Should be the same number of glow-in-the-dark cards for every card i'd think.

Do we know for sure whether there will be a #/3 metal card, #/10 cloth card, or even a sketch card?

Fair enough on the silver, hopefully it at least becomes public at some point when it gets pulled.

Unfortunately I got rather lazy when the last couple Brooklyn backs came up for sale but am certainly willing to pay a decent price.   

I'm admittedly new to the card game, are all prints of these cards expected to be in circulation(opened or not) or is Topps still supplying/distributing boxes and cases?

Sold out on the first day at Topps

No worries Chris, there is another one on ebay that will have more competition since we lost out on this one.

Taking everything into account, cost of opening several cases, the extremely low production numbers, supply and demand, etc.etc., the top row of mini's is quite impressive and valuable

Good luck to everyone trying to collect these We havn't even got to the 1/1's yet

Do we know for sure whether there will be a #/3 metal card, #/10 cloth card, or even a sketch card?

My understanding is that the cloth and metal cards are limited to the MLB players only, so #83 would not have either of these types.

That's correct.

LOL!!!

Seriously though, I have contacted Topps to discuss the four 2018 cards that appear to have common relevance with each other and will post our discussion afterwards. 

I would like to hereby rescind any doubts that I previously may have voiced about the legitimacy of an intended Historic Event Collection. This change of mind probably has nothing to do with me pulling a #259 Bomb Cyclone GLOW mini card.

Thank you for your time.

Me

Any word from Topps on the Historical Event Series, dolphriends?

Regards,
Chris

[dolphriends]

I never heard back and my thought on that is they do not discuss internal decisions.  I reached out twice to them .

[Mrstacy]

Wow. A graded white base card over $30.00

Here is a helpful list of the 20 variations of the #83 cryptocurrency and how many were made of certain cards.  Hopefully this will be helpful to some of you
