A few weeks back a few Glavine Topps Vault items appeared on eBay. Proofs from the 1990 Topps Big set. Although not really qualifying as "vintage" they are 26 years old and as a Glavine collector I find these pretty cool regardless !
Here they are, 1990 Topps Big Glavine Proofs !
So what do you guys think of Topps Vault stuff ?
I've picked up a few things from Topps Vault, although it's probably been over a year since I won anything from their auctions. The stuff I've gotten is all blank-backs from recent releases. The blank-backs are kind of gimmicky so I haven't bid really hard on them lately.
ReplyDeleteI'm 100% with RAZ -- I bought a couple of things when I first got back into collecting, but I tend to forget about them because of their gimmicky nature.
ReplyDeleteI've bought one card from Topps Vault. I wanted the Luis Torrens 1/1 Blank Back Topps Vault card but I've lost it forever after someone swooped in on a really good BIN.
ReplyDeleteI pick up cards from Topps Vault, like you I stick with players I collect. If the cards are a good deal I like them as a unique addition to the collection.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if a Topps contract is considered part of the Topps Vault collection... but I'd love to one day own a contract signed by Sy Berger and one of my PC players.
ReplyDeleteI once bought a lot of 6 Alexei Ramirez cards from the blank back "set".
ReplyDeleteI think they're cool because come sealed in cases with a COA, but other than that there's not a lot of appeal for these cards.
Great pickups though
