It wasn't that long ago that we had speculated whether or not Darvish would have a paper auto like Strasburg and Harper in years past. Obviously, better than that he has a chrome auto. If you are like me, I am very pleased and surprised with the depth and potential of this product. That is being tempered by the possibility of this product being printed like 2010 Bowman Chrome.
Here we are less than a month away from the release date and I am starting to wonder if Jumbo cases are hard to find because there are not going to be that many out there, not just because wholesalers are trying to even up their hobby sales. Based on them being required to order 1 Hobby Case to every Jumbo Case.
Is it true that topps products are print to order? In that case was there any reason for people to go out and order a ton of this product based on Cole and Rendon?
What do you think the print run is going to be?
Here is a thread with the results of last years release.
