He's on the card sheet now. What do you think? There are still these teams without a sig: Dbacks, Padres, Nationals, Mariners, & Orioles

Mariners had a dual. Mike said would have been goldy if he didnt get hurt.

Mariners had a dual. Mike said would have been goldy if he didnt get hurt. I think that's typical TOPPS b.s. It's a sig card, what difference does his health make, it's not like he's a fire sig that is boosted. He already had a black boost. Just my 2 pennies. If you collect sigs for the collection, don't you want a Goldy over a Getz!

The count is 700 and they made the odds 1:120. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Meanwhile, on KICK, odds of pulling Lahm Sig (250) is 1:50 in a pack worth 7500 coins that allows you to also pull a Van Der Vaart Sig (250) at 1:45.

folks. this is where hopefully being a participant of BHK reaps you some benefit - or at least saves you some money and frustration. ive written about "pack math" in the past but for those of you who missed it and are coming across this post, let me explain a few things - hopefully they make sense. 1. a 700 count card (like gray) is AT BEST, a $10 card. see this eb listing for proof from last week: www.ebay.com/itm/Topps-Bunt-Sonny-Gray-Sig-Signature-/321514011955?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item4adbba7d332. even if you were to buy the best valued bundle at $100 for 1M coins, that puts the value at 10,000 coins per dollar spent - or, the price of a sig pack right now. 3. now here's the important part to remember for every insert/sig release. you need to pay attention to the seeding rate so you can put a "pack price" on the card vs waiting and simply trading or buying it later. at 1:120, that means "on average", you would expect to get the sig in 120 packs (of course, the dynamics in the virtual world for opening packs is completely different than in the real card world but i wont go into that here). that means that we are essentially being asked to pay $120 for this particular sig. you decide how you want to approach this but hopefully you understand what i'm saying. using free coins is about the only way to go for this seeding rate if youre going to open any. otherwise, just wait til they all flush out into the marketplace and eventually settle on their true value (both in trade and sale). the only reason why you might try to get one now is if the bonus was coming up soon. they pulled the same thing on us with hamels right before the series 2 finish. a 800 count sig (if i remember correctly) but they seeded it something like 1:75 to start with so barely half of them made it out before the bonus.

These people (Topps mkt) are losing there minds. Who would pay 75$ when u can get on eBay for 10. Even if u save up that many coins still not worth the coin. Looks like there out fishing for whales.

I can't believe they continue to release inserts with 1:100 odds, even the duo cards are being released with 1:100 odds. While huddle kick release cards with odd as low as 1:25

The guaranteed sig pack release explains the long odds. If they had put reasonable odds on the Waino sig, they couldn't have justified the 500k price for a guarantee.
Doesn't make it any better, though.
