UFC UFC TOPPS Series 3 - Main Event

[Jets59]

Yeah those propagandhi/war time style poster cards are awesome. I love them. I saw the Koscheck relic auto on the beckett video break and that was a pretty sick looking card. Its kinda weird, some of the autos look ordinary in that style and some of them actually look pretty good. Cage relics look sick.

Not a big fan of the parallel autos this series, I wish topps would cut back on them.

Interesting to see the mike swick auto, parallel numbered to 8 (whatever colour that is, ruby or something) sold for $150 today, pretty much as soon as it was listed. Be interesting to see what the top dogs go for.

those boxes are retail and only have 1 hit in them. And they arent even available yet as far as i know.

that triple auto is awesome. The first person that pulls it gets a fair prize to, cage side seats, day with dana white, among other things.

Machida Jumbo Patch relic went for 550 this morning.

 

[GiRDS-]

anyone bought anycards yet. i have just about got my hands on a wanderlei gear patch

 

[eggshen]

There are already some major cards up on auctions..

A.Silva 1/1 Mat Relic BIN for $650
GSP 1/1 Mat Relic $202.50 with 2d17h left
Couture/Nog Dual Auto Relic BIN $399

and theres various /8 autos of not so big name fighters and a few triple threats.

eBay is being flooded with these cards already, that's not a good thing! Just going to cheapen the value..out of all the cards I haven't seen 1 wanderlei auto yet which is disapointing the big cards aren't really that expensive 600 max ay..which is kind of pointless in buying a box when you can go buy a headliner for that sort of $$$..boxes aren't cheap either!

Anybody sees a wanderlei auto..let me know!

 

[Jets59]

Yeah im thinking you will be able to buy autos for about 5 cents in this series. ive gotta feeling that it is super mass produced.

 

[ejt85]

There's so many autos up for sale already! If you were going to spend that much money you'd atleast want to keep the autos and just flick the inserts and doubles otherwise you just hanging onto nothing and just throwing money away on a massive gamble! Not really collecting in my eyes..looks like to many people in this series are out make a buck..

I'll prob buy a base set, then just the wandy autos and a
shogun..

 

[crg0084]

I think after series 2 alot more people will be very careful with how they go about collecting series 3. Why spend $5000 now for cards when possibly in 6 months you can finish a set for that or less

 

[eggshen]

Personally i have these 2 boxes coming cos i love the thrill of breaking boxes. But I will just be keeping an eye out for Nog cards and any other major stars who might be going cheaply and any major prospects like Jones etc.

The WEC autos could be worth alot in future too.

 

[ejt85]

Yeah don't get me wrong I love busting boxes, but with round 2 it just felt
like I was going no where I bort atleast 10 boxes and the 2 best cards I got were a Kongo bloodlines auto and a rampage blue! You look at buying those 2 singley and you wouldn't have to break 200US..**** really to few and far between so many doubles of the blues..but hopefully this set
is better..

Anybody actually got any cards in hand yet?

 

[Jets59]

Dont have any in hand yet but bought some off ebay this morning.

I got an amir sadollah gear auto for 3 dollars lol ????

Several fighter worn cards for 5 bucks. The most expensive i got was a wanderlei fight worn card for 25, but it was a pretty cool looking patch.

Plus i saw an anderson silva auto go for 100 bucks. There is about 8 anderson silva autos listed on ebay already.

And i hate to say it but this this series is gonna destory the values of the previous rounds, mainly round 2. watch the prices of those round 2 autos sky dive.

Round 1 will probably hold. I really cant belive how much stuff of main event is on ebay already. crazy.

 

[ejt85]

I haven't really had a look at the checklist is there any limited edition autos of "wandy".....?

I want a auto of every edition from this set!! Sick of all these dud autos that are bombarded in every set

 

[Jets59]

Well i dunno.

According to the first 'checklist' i saw there were supposed to be shogun, vitor and cro cop autos but ive now heard they have been pulled. (unconfirmed at this stage, but thats the whispering)

Im pretty sure Wandy was listed on the auto list but given that the above have apparantly been pulled, he could have been as well.

Who really knows. I dont think Topps even know what is going on. A red auto of his that also has the axe murderer written on it would be sweet

 

[ejt85]

Yeah I've been looking for wandy, shogun and my mate wants me to get him a CC auto and if that is true I won't be buying any of round 3 apart from the wandy silver/188 which I'm bidding on!! How can u remove 4 of the biggest fan favs from the auto lot!!

Boooooo!!!!!

Ain't getting any of my $$$ unless I see some decent autos

 

[Jets59]

Yeah i know man, its pretty poor form.

There is the Wandy fighter worn card too though.

Hopefully the rumours arent true and those big names do pop up with autos.

Can only hope.


Also sorry about my avatar. Its a bit similar to yours lol. I didnt think that through to well at all. ill have to change it.
