2013 Topps Update Series Baseball Cards

I pulled a gary sheffield postseason heroes auto relic #/5, does anyone know the value of this card?

Does anyone know if Topps printed many Andrew McCutchen #35 Update gold cards? That is the only card I need to complete the set, but the only ones sold went for a lot of money. I couldn’t find an official statement on what happened to that card. Thanks!

Any idea of the checklist for Ultimate Chase cards in 2013 Update? I got one of the mystery variety and promptly redeemed it.

Thanks, I thought that it was a relic card or something. That is actually really cool! Hope you are right about that!

Ryan >> Do you know if they are going to be 1 of 1 type cards? Not sure what to expect because the redemption card was so vague. Thanks for the quick response!

Great product. love the inserts. I am just confused as to what cards are included in the redemption “2013 All-Star Memoribilia Redemption” A player wasn’t listed. What does that mean?

I HAVE POSTED THE PUIG ERROR CARD ON EBAY
ITS AT 35.00 right now. Thanks. Anyone interested on ebay listed under 2013 topps update error cards.

5- I HAVE A YASIEL PUIG 2013 TOPPS UPDATE ERROR CARD#US250 No name and icon. How much you think its worth?

You seem to have forgotten the chrome and chrome refractor parallels that you could only get through retail. I have not bought any. But I know because they are there up for grabs on ebay and are described as being retail exclusive.

The Series 1 and 2 had purple (Toys R Us) and emerald blue parallels, but I haven’t seen these for the update set yet. Are these parallels in the update set? I’m trying to complete a White Sox team set for each parallel and would like to know for sure if these are out there. Thanks.

I’m a fan of the update series (must go back to those early traded sets in the 70’s, which we loved in my neighborhood), but this year has been great. Pulled a Votto/Kremer (the bat boy card–great story also), which sold so fast I realized I had underpriced it. Minutes ago I just pulled a 1971 mini auto of David Wright–#ed to 10! I have already scored better hits than I did with way too much spent on Bowman Sterling last year. Beyond the hits (which are cool), I still love the updating of players…bit heavy on the AS game cards, but still worth it to me. Thanks…and let me know if you have any suggestions on how to price the Wright mini auto. Thanks…

I’ve been loyal to Topps for a while, but one thing that really annoys the crap out of me lately is the lack of variety in card photos.. come on.. there are 162+ games in a season.. do you really have to use the same photo on 3 different cards of one player? I’m begging for variety.. Reed Johnson’s finally got a card in the Update Series and they use a picture from 2012.. come on. You had all season to get great pics.. with the camera equipment you have. I think they’re focusing a little too much on the manufactured relics too.. keep the game used and the autos of course.. but the pins and rings are merely toys and just lead to value-less clutter. Love the base set, as always, but I also agree with simply displaying the rookie debut on the rookie card. Not enough of an excuse for an extra card in my opinion.

Love the product to share with kids, wife and grandpa cause I’m a bit shy to show my high-end cards.

I think topps can destroy all the inserts and put 2 to 4 more GU card or one more auto in a box, and why not a booklet?

The subset cards are worth more $ than the reg. set cards in most cases, so why complain. You can by a single jumbo box and get most of a set. Add the extras and usually a box is worth it’s value or more. Getting value for it later is a different story.(Grade your valuable cards for max. return) Buy the sets at Walmart if you just want a simple set. Enjoy the fun of collecting and build your collection the fun way people

I just don’t understand how Topps justifies $50 per hobby box. I know the price will drop, but still not worth it at all.

why not just put the debut date on the RC? if none of them are short printed then whats the point of making a RC & RD in the same set? seems like a cop out to me. whats next? all star debut? rookie all star debut? also don’t care for the manufactured “relics” they like to stuff in hobby boxes only. send that garbage to toys r us.

No Xander Bogaerts?? He made his debut 8-20-13, with 18 games 44 at bats!! No Billy Hamilton?? Two major league debuts of two major league players not in a update release?? They worry more about inserts than what the set is about. What? Update sets are about who was in the All-Star game and not who made there major league debut in the regular season?? Never again will I purchase. I have boxes full of insert crap I can’t move. Give quality not quantity!!!!

Any chance of a Justin Morneau card with Pirates in this set?

I agree, I miss the days of the 792 card base set with little or no inserts. I like the game used stuff and an insert here and there, but it sucks to open a pack of 15 cards and almost half of it is an insert or parallel.

As a casual collector, I’m only interested in the base set. It’s a nuisance for me to turn around and have to list all the insert cards to try to make back a little bit of money on my investment. Wish they didn’t have all of the coin/ relic crap. If it’s game used jersey or bat, sure, it’ll sell but who cares about a commemorative coin card? Not many people.

To many subsets ,I throw them in a box ,could care less about them,I want more players like the old days.

Just looking at what is listed here, as usual, Topps loads its set with a lot of “special cards” that I consider mostly junk and skimps on cards of regular players and talented rookies and prospects. They should double the number of real players and get rid of most of the relics, jersey cards, repeats of All Stars, and all that crap. And how can a 2013 Update set not include Yasiel Puig?
