2008 Topps Co-Signers First Impressions

I have here the sell sheets for 2008 Topps Co-Signers.  I know, other people have probably already pored over them, but I haven’t, and it’s probably the closest I’ll get to actually seeing this this year (barring a job change, Ihopeihope), so here we go.

115 subjects, broken down into 75 veterans, 25 ‘rookies’ (5 of which also come autographed) and 15 ‘rookies’ which are autograph-only.

As usual, you have your standard 6 cards a pack, 12 packs a box, with each pack having either a parallel (9 per box) or an autograph (3 per box, 2 singles, 1 dual, with the case hit being a huge variety of….)

Wait a minute.  What in the HELL are they doing?  BOXER AUTOGRAPHS?  IN A BASEBALL PRODUCT?

Well, that makes it official.  I’ll be picking up Astros singles, and Topps can go jump in a lake.  $10 a pack, $100+ a box, and BOXERS?  Screw that noise.
