Many of these cards don't come up for auction on eBay too often, and the ones that have lately are showing an increase above their ten-card average values. I think many eTopps cards are WAY undervalued!Anthony Nunezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242610826264193511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601288284583281350.post-69048410469396098462015-08-24T08:56:35.701-07:002015-08-24T08:56:35.701-07:00I was huge into eTopps years ago.

I would eagerly await the release of the new weeks cards and would log in right at 8 in the morning my time to see if I wanted to order any, because the cards always sold out fast. Back in the day Topps would award performance points if players met certain goals during the season and those points could be redeemed for stuff from their prize catalog, which also sold out quickly. After eTopps stopped producing cards Topps allowed users to use their performance points for shipping. I ended up having all my cards that were available for shipping shipped. <br /><br />The cards do look great in hand. I think part of the problem was that Topps stopped promoting the program and the fact that most of the cards never held their value after their IPO on the secondary market, with a few exceptions. But there are some real oddball gems to be had from the program.<br /><br />great postcynicalbuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459221069829023793noreply@blogger.com
