Those are the only names ive seen so far.

How does Babe Ruth sound? That is one of the rumors.

I'm saying it right now. If Cobb or Cy Young end up in this I'm selling my soul to the devil himself. I'm just putting it out there. It could happen.

should drop about a grand before release. absolutely no reason to lock in at anywhere near that price.

Where did you see the $3,600 a price per case? And like I said at $3,600, $1,000+ higher than this years cases, there has to be a much better checklist or a lot more cut autos to make up for the price hike. The only problem I see is as a re-saler like TK and I. To make a profit then we would have to sell player boxes for like $500? I mean if there are great players like Ruth or some other great legends would those players boxes sell for close to $1,000???? Maybee the Ruth, but I doubt the others would even get $500.

The Sterling is the last product advertised.

I would hope the Ruth rumor was true, and like you said, it would be tough for you guys to Re-Sell at that price. I cant wait to see the rest of the checklist.

I just came across this on ebay:

2008 Topps Sterling Baseball HOBBY Box - 1 pack PRESELL - eBay (item 360066403251 end time Jul-30-08 13:53:22 PDT)

Funny how it states that the product will ship within 30 days of purchase

[Crash1207]

I'm confused.

At the very top of this thread it says $300 SRP. Ok....so how then is a 10 box case now $3600?

Isn't the SRP set by Topps themselves?

[KaraandMelliesDaddy]

SRP = Suggested Retail Price. Key word being suggested.

or how about taking advantage of people who don't know to wait until prices come down by artificially setting pre-sells WAY too high.

Error in the original posting. Factory direct cost is around $300 a box. Unsure what SRP is. Probably $350 range
