It has come to our attention that, despite what our release notes say on this set ("Topps specifically calls this set "Die-Cuts", but the actual cards are not die-cut and instead are regularly shaped cards.") that there ARE die-cut versions out there, as well as die-cut versions that are serial-numbered out of 75.
Does anyone know what Topps was doing here? I have only been able to find that they were releasing the "die-duts" and an autographed version (of a subset of the players). Nothing about a non-die-cut version or a SN version.
Any knowledge anyone can share to help us get this set / these sets listed properly will be greatly appreciated.

Darn good question. I had gotten ahold of the non die cut cards in a lot I picked up for future trading purposes. When looking at the scans we have, nothing die cut there either. I didn't see any references to card actually being die cut, and in inverse, a non die cut set either. Maybe I looked in the wrong places. Even COMC/eBay shows non die cut cards, same as when I first looked. Or I'm blind.
Sigh, let's hope they aren't becoming Panini, or worse, Leaf/Wild Card.

My only input, "die cut" is not a hyphenated word.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Here is an example of a die-cut version with SN75:

Here is an example of a die-cut version without a SN:

Here is an example of a non-die-cut version (with no SN):

I think the first 2 you linked are from the regular Topps set and the none Die cut is from Topps Chrome Update. I have Gwynns that are like that and that is how they were released.

Didn't think I was yelling. They have it correct on their Sell Sheet.

After looking at these closer, I think this is correct. The die cut versions have just the Topps logo on the front and make reference to Topps being a registered trademark on the back, the non-die cut version has the Topps Chrome logo on the front and references Topps and Topps Chrome as registered trademarks. Sorry for any confusion.

Getting out of the hobby, only looking to sell at this point. Also slowly listing on eBay, BSC, and Whatnot if you prefer to buy there for some reason. $15 credit available for new users with my Whatnot invite. Cheers! |

Ok, so false alarm. :) I'll close out the IR.
And Chuck, I didn't think you were yelling or anything. Just my verbiage when talking about telling the source about it. All good!
