Topps Premier Gold 2014/15 info

[shawnkemp40]

Not that I won't get them anyway but jeez they look cheap and nasty don't they? A real drop in quality from last years lot. They seem condition sensitive too. I see lot with rough cuts. I would dare say they look like once they made up their minds to bring out club they gave up on gold.
On the bright side it is still more pc. The non auto or jersey inserts do look nice at least.

So far only the one seller out of HK, he's in a dreamland with his prices. To test the water he has the Falcao purple auto with a bin of $150 usd I offered him $90 which is too much but also knowing/hoping he wouldn't accept it. I was literally almost in tears laughing when he replied and said he'd give me the base auto for $ 90 off of ebay!!! What a d bag - I reminded him that within 3 days there will be a flood of sellers and he can put his $90 base auto somewhere that only toilet paper would reach. I am glad he didn't accept my offer but so amused that he thinks anything non 1/1 or sick patch will get over $100 (possibly excluding crowning achievement should a DB10 or equal player exist) it is showing too because nobody is buying. We all (most of us) over paid only to see the same cards go for small notes within a month. Once bitten...

The jersey cards say 'match used' but they are same as last years so they are only relics.

Prices have dropped hard and they only going to drop further more. Add the club release next month and we could be in for some bargains in the coming weeks.

Anyone come across rare Gerrard cards please lmk

 

[shawnkemp40]

He has the base gerrard jersey $35/40 bin

 

[claxi]

gonna be a happy time hunting for bargains soon it seems. Shall look forward to the release of the 2 products though it doesn't look as impressive.

Not fussed about number/name/sponsor patches, but if anyone spots an Arsenal crest, please let me know

Hey guys it does say 'the contained relic on this card is not from any event, match or season"

So it would be safe to say these aren't match worn (even thought the state match used on the front ).

Thats a little confusing. Does the box/packaging give any more info?

The card doesnt actually say that the player on it has anything to do with the shirt or ever wore it, legally as long a a fan wore it to any 'match' it would be a match worn shirt.

Bergkamp redemption. As Henry had an auto redemption in Topps MLS a few years back that is yet to be fulfilled, not holding my breath.

Yep, I'm still waiting for mine from Topps, 2 years on and no replys to my emails asking if this will ever get redeemed.

they have a great record with Redemptions ... but what will they send instead ... they don’t do Football redemptions, ummm ... a minor league baseball patch card like with all the other redemptions they fail to deliver on? Or perhaps in 3 years they’ll apoligise and send out an Andre Santos auto of ‘the same value’

 

[rishgoon]

Santos!

 

[shawnkemp40]

So far I have bought (Falcao) base jersey for $20 and the orange 2 colour jumbo patch #1 of 11 for way too much $150 lol I got excited coz it was #1 hahaha going by the colours it's a sock bwahahaha black with a red line same as our home socks. Hopefully it doesn't smell like the foot of a 150kg Manc sweating his pie and curry gravy box off in the stretford end (if u have been to OT you will get the reference)

Hate this current exchange rate, everything cost so much more now.

 

[GiRDS-]

tell me about it. just bought a couple colombian national team polo shirts. have been searching for them in my size since the start of the world cup so i wasnt letting them go, but christ the exchange rates have killed me

Yeah, if your paying for cards now in USD converting from AUS then its going to hurt a lot more.

The Russians have got it worst at the moment their currency is plummeting against the USD.

However those who buy at the right time protected their money and made a nice return.

For example with the 1 USD = 70 Rubles
but back in June 1 USD = 35 Rubles

Using today's exchange rate for sale prices and June for buying prices, expected box break return (auto/memo cards only) from the following collections:

Panini Prizm World Cup
Expected Box Break Return today = $50 or Rubles 3,500 (50 * 70)
Price of Box today = $120 or Rubles 4,200 (120 * 35)

ROI: 3,500/4,200 = 83%

Futera Unique 2014
Expected Box Break Return today = $365 or Rubles 25,550 (365 * 70)
Price of Box today = $299 or Rubles 10,465 (299 * 35)

ROI: 25,550/10,465 = 244%
