I think I let myself get suckered into buying something I wouldn't normally go after.
Those are 2013 Topps Blank Back 1/1 cards of Craig Gentry and David Murphy. I don't know for sure, but I think Topps just made them to sell online and I assume (knowing full well how dangerous that is) they made one for each of the cards in the set.
Each card came encapsulated in plastic and has a foil Topps Vault 1/1 sticker on the back. The sticker also has a Topps Serial Number.
Each card also came with a COA.
I really didn't have a reason for buying them other than I'm impulsive. I think it's just a money grab by Topps and I'm sure a bunch of other people have fallen for it too. Oh well, live and learn.
I haven't been back to the site since the night I bought these, but they do have some cool stuff. I just need to stay away and let someone else buy it.
I hate these, they are a total money grab by Topps, that being said I did just buy one a while ago, so I guess I am just as guilty of feeding the machine.
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that they also have signed player contracts, which would be more appealing. Those 1/1's are a slippery slope. Ones that will never see the darkness of a pack wrapper and could easily be created by scammers... Let's just say I'm happy I made the decision to stick to print runs of 50 and higher.

topps doesn't recognize that there are actual people living outside the lower 48... so I don't have to worry about such temptation.
