I obtained I know trey mancini rookie variation With his Baltimore shirt and legend of Ozzie smith and two others I forget whom in a blaster one retail blaster is that normal?

Trey Treutel
Trey Treutel

Sweet! Odds are listed on the pack/box you opened. Should be 1:4 packs, so 2-3 per Blaster. Variations are much easier pulls in 2017 Update, but good luck is good luck.

I just got an Aaron Judge 2017 Topps Update 87′ autograph but cant seem to find a price in beckett or anywhere else. Does it hold less or more value than other 2017 Topps Aaron Judge atuos as there seem to be tons out there

I have a #US21 of Christian Arroyo that is different from the 3 you show, can you tell me anything about this card? I can send you a pictures if you;d like so you can see what I am talking about, thanks Trey :)

Sure. Email images of front and back to trey at cardboardconnection.com

Hi, My son got a Corey Seager Variation card that says “Topps Certified Autograph Issue” across the front, but no autograph. What does this mean? Should the card be autographed?

Mancini also has a horizontal SSP, ends with the 5904 numbering. It has him and Chris Davis on the front.

Trey Treutel
Trey Treutel

It’s on there near the bottom. It has Series 2 card numbering (536) instead of #US, so those are listed in a second group.

Thomas Vereline
Thomas Vereline

The Eddie Murray variation, US42 and the Piazza variation, US168, both say “Update Series” under the number. So the Aaron would seem to be an anomaly.

Randy Davis
Randy Davis

I pulled a Freddie Freeman #244, hat off.

What are the odds of finding sp variations in all packs?

Trey Treutel
Trey Treutel

Arthur: As stated in the article above, it’s 1:4 packs for SP and 1:256 packs for SSP.

Hank Nolan
Hank Nolan

I got a Hank Aaron variation, a nolan arenado variation, a vintage stock, and a postseason celebrations red #/250. All in two five buck packs. Is that common?

Tom Vereline
Tom Vereline

How come on the back of the Hank Aaron variation under the number US247 it says, “Series 2”? Shouldn’t it say “Update Series”?

Trey Treutel
Trey Treutel

Tom: It appears many of them are like that. I imagine it’s because the Legend variations for some of the same players came in Series 2.

David coon
David coon

I have the honus Wagner variation is it a sp

Trey Treutel
Trey Treutel

David: They are all short prints. SSP rookie cards are marked and those are versions that are more rare than the others.

Tom
Tom

I have 7 sp from one hobby box (with three of them legends). Is that the norm? if so, they just aren’t quite as short as they used to be…maybe we need a KSP designation: Kind of Short Print. So, is anyone else hitting them at this rate or did I just score a great box for my 1st of the product? I’m betting on the former…thanks. Tom

Trey Treutel
Trey Treutel

Tom: The main variations in Update are very common at 1:4 packs. Only the SSP cards are rare this time.

I have to comment on four cards.

Card 1. US18 Ted Williams. I just looks weird to see him fishing on a baseball card.

Card 2. US156 Nolan Ryan. It looks like his hat is a bad photoshop job. It looks like the hat is twice the size of his head.

Card 3. US168 Mike Piazza. It looks like he was just superimposed onto the card.

Card 4. US223 Sandy Kofax. I assume he is pointing to the scoreboard. I also assume the dodgers were the home team so they would be on the bottom. Was it a no hitter or a perfect game. I can not see the other team name good enough to see who they played.

On the Koufax card, the Dodgers are playing the Giants. It was a no-hitter. Here’s the Getty Image – http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/dodger-pitcher-sandy-koufax-points-with-pride-to-the-score-news-photo/515287560

Thanks Trey. Thanks what I figured, but after seeing the parallels with the Topps Chrome variations this year I wasn’t sure.

Shawn
Shawn

Do the SP and SSP cards also have all of the parallel colors as well?

Trey Treutel
Trey Treutel

Shawn: None that I have seen. Flagship doesn’t generally have parallels for variations.

Has there been any news on the short print autographs?

What are the odds for finding each type of variation in each format of packs?

I’ve only seen blaster odds. Hobby odds will be added when confirmed.

What packs are the variations available in? Are they only available in blaster ($20) boxes or are they available in all packs like they used to be?
