Topps isn't going to leak that kind of information. We hope to hear this week who the first Red Hot Rookie redemption will be, but people on eBay seemingly think it's old #1.
Auction #1
Auction #2
Auction #3
Speculators make the world go 'round, I guess. It happens in the oil industry and makes gas prices go crazy. It happens on the stock market and makes our economy go crazy. It happens with baseball cards and it makes the secondary market go nuts.
Right now, it seems only #1 is selling at that high of a price as a single. The other redemptions are in the $10 range.
Strasburg has a crazy effect these days on card collectors.
When we know which card Strasburg will be, you'll know too.
I hope it's Straus.... I have the #1 Rookie Redemption. Haven't had too many hits this year so this would make it worth it.
ReplyDeleteI have an entire set 1-10, $200 takes 'em all!
ReplyDeleteI've redeemed #1 the day I opened my box. I didn't even think about selling it. I guess I was hoping Heyward would be #1 in this set like he was in the Finest redemption program.
ReplyDeleteHow do you feel about it now?
ReplyDeleteStraburg might not even be in the Red Hot Rookies, because they usually save that for guys that don't have a regular Topps RC. He was just announced as having one, #661 via the million dollar card scratch off cards.
ReplyDeleteGood point. However, they could make him a red shot rookie with an auto. I guess that would be the only difference.
