2012
Topps Triple Threads Baseball is now live and like last year Topps has gone the
gimmick route and continued the American History relic cards.
Last
year we saw 2 mythological folklore characters, Pecos Bill and John Henry, along with Norse/Viking explorer Leif Ericson though I am not certain how Ericson is directly
connected to American history because he landed in what is now part of Canada.
This year Topps did go with three real personalities that are part of American
history with Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone and Casey Jones.
These
cards are considered bonus cards, so they are not taking the place of a guaranteed
hit.
Currently
there is a Davy Crockett card up for auction at $599.99 with 2 declined offers.
Recently a Daniel Boone card and a Casey Jones card sold for $175 each. There
is also a 2011 John Henry card up for auction at $30.01 with 3 days left.
At least Topps is keeping these real by stating that "THESE RELICS ARE NOT FROM ANYTHING AT ALL".
ReplyDeleteI kind of think the John Henry card is genius. $30, though...I'm OK with just a digital peek.
