2008 Topps Co-Signers
Posted by Tuff stuff
Well, now we've done it. Attached with this Bustin' Wax edition is some video to go along with the summary below. It's sort of a trial balloon of what we'd like to do on this site, so bear with the quirks (including the abrupt ending). Today's Feature: 2008 Topps Co-Signers Baseball- 6 cards per pack
- 12 packs per box ($120 per box)
The cards themselves are all right. I think the base cards could use some more color. I was a little thrown off by the additional name and silhouette player on some of the parallel cards, but I get it with the Co-Signers theme. We achieved the expected parallel count (12) and got three autographs (if you include the redemption card). Here's the breakdown:
- 1 autograph redemption for Sam Fuld
- 1 dual auto card of Jeff Francis and Ubaldo Jimenez (no edition number noted)
- 1 auto card of boxer Shannon Briggs (no edition number noted)
- 3 red parallels - Prince Fielder, J.R. Towles and Joe Blanton (numbered to 400)
- 2 gold parallels - Richie Sexson and Vernon Wells (numbered to 150)
- 2 blue parallels - Daisuke Matsuzaka and Mike Lowell (numbered to 250)
- 2 bronze parallels - Bobby Abreu and Ken Griffey Jr. (numbered to 300)
- 1 green parallel - Jake Peavy (numbered to 200)
- 1 red super refractor - Vladimir Guerrero (numbered to 100)
- 1 blue super refractor - Hideki Matsui (numbered to 50).
