2018 Topps Archives Signature Series Baseball Forum

Now presuming that it should go into this checklist:

https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/179072

But it is not confirmed that the item currently on the checklist is this particular card. As I have read on the sell sheets that there are multiple cards for players. And that it this particular card is just 1/1 for this Gypsy Queen buyback. Looking on Ebay there are other 2018 Signature Series Kyle Seager of other card releases including Bowman, Allen & Ginter, Topps Bunt, etc.

So this is partly an ID thread but also a potential IR related post considering the generic entry on the current Kyle Seager checklist.

First of all, I have put forward an IR to delete the checklist. That's not right.

These cards are re-issued by Topps (I want to say it's like one per box of Archives Signature Series, but don't quote me on that). They could be signed Bowman, Topps, Chrome, Gypsy Queen, Allen & Ginter, you get the point. Topps buys these cards from dealers and has the players sign them. If dealers send Topps 9 2018 Bowman Kyle Seager cards, then they'll be signed and stamped 1/9, 2/9, etc. If, instead, they get one Gyspy Queen card, it's going to get a 1/1 stamp. Make sense?

As to how they should be listed here: with some research. These are from 2018, which means someone could probably find a healthy handful of cards on COMC (including sold out, there's 9), eBay (including "Completed" auctions), and Worthpoint. Get a good start to the checklist with these sources, and it can be loaded as a typical "buyback" checklist. Then, if another 1/1 pops up at some point (certainly possible), it's a matter of getting a L8 to insert it into the checklist - a lot easier than inserting cards one at a time because someone uploaded a one card checklist to get five points.

This is what I can come up with from Ebay and Comc

5 Kyle Seager 2016 Topps AU SN18
70 Kyle Seager 2015 Topps Allen & Ginter AU SN23
88 Kyle Seager 2017 Topps Heritage AU SN28
95 Kyle Seager 2017 Topps Opening Day AU SN39
112 Kyle Seager 2016 Bowman AU SN73
118 Kyle Seager 2017 Topps Chrome AU SN8
168 Kyle Seager 2016 Topps Bunt AU SN97
188 Kyle Seager 2015 Topps Chrome AU SN13
209 Kyle Seager 2013 Topps Heritage AU SN1
215 Kyle Seager 2015 Topps Gypsy Queen AU SN1

230 Kyle Seager 2017 Topps Allen & Ginter AU SN11
OD-189 Kyle Seager 2016 Topps Opening Day AU SN57

Now that's a great start to the checklist!

Oh I forgot the team, all of those cards are for the Seattle Mariners.

What/Who is Mavin?

   I'm glad you asked. Mavin is a site that tracks card prices (  the price format looks like the ones I see for pokemon online sites ), but I ran into the site (again after seeing it a year ago) while googling some images. I started using it as a TOOL to help find John Kruk cards to add on TCDB. Mavin tracks card prices for the last 3 years while Ebay only does it for 90 days. Have you ever tracked a card on Ebay to find what it sold for only to find it doesn't show in Sold Items? I have, and I still haven't figured out why some items disappear, but they show up in Mavin. A person is not going to find the prices for sold 1/1's (or many low #ed cards) after 90 days on Ebay because they are never coming up for sale again and the information has now been lost. If a checklist is created for a set after even 90 days it has little chance of being completed (I'm mainly talking Topps Buyback Sets). Here is a link to where I got the info for the Kyle Seager cards:
