High End WWE Set?

[detroittigerfan76]

i'm kind of a cheap skate. 200 to 300 dollars is quite a bit. i'll probaly leave that set to you guys. football and baseball has a big enough audience to get back that kinda return on boxes but wrestling.... probaly not. if i'm buying to collect that is too much. if i could get some return on what i don't want in my pc that may be one thing. those kind of cost is why i don't collect football cards. how cool would it be to get a 300 dollar box of cards and best thing you hit is a 40 dollar sheamus autograph?

Or worse yet a santino auto

I understand your point about a sheamus auto, but at the same time were getting sets recently that arnt even guaranteeing you an auto. I got a box of 2011 and got a wade barrett plain black t shirt relic and a drew mcyntire same black plain t shirt. So i paid 50 to 60 on a box just to get 2 cards that I could get 3-5 bucks for? That opinion is kind of the point of the post though. Theres the people who would rather shell out more money to get the chance at a couple guaranteed big hits while theres others who are fine with the product right now since its only 50-60 a box. I personally would love for Topps to go all out and try a high end product but at the same time I feel theres more "cheapskate" collectors out there that wouldn't buy it making it a non profitable product.

My only issue is with high end products in a sport they haven't done is it waters down markets like crazy. Racing is one of the most recent sports that just recently started getting high end products. They went from having signature series cards which were case hits in there releases(basically a card signed by the driver and a piece of race used material) to these high end products where you get jumbo autos and it pretty much killed the value in the signature series. And in that case, the die hard collectors don't buy it. Maybe a box, but thats about it. The only people that really wanted a high end product was the dealers/distributors. They just need to keep platinum out and that was perfectly fine with me. For the value you got some great looking cards. But thats just my opinion.

I don't think a $300 box price would work for a WWE product unless it had like 6 or 7 solid hits. No wrestler in WWE have autos that have a market value of over $50 so even putting in say 7 autos would not make the box worth it at all. Maybe a Triple Threads or UFC Knockout style product would work. Say $120 for 5 single hit packs/boxes would work.

easy.... $200 a box, limit the big hits to #/25, #/10, #/5, #/1. Each wrestler gets 3 different looking cards, kind of like triple threads, each with different foil numbered accordingly.

2 big hits per box, and 2 hits #/199 or less. Each hit autographed.
Dual auto's #/10, triple autos #/5, Quad autos and legendary cut autos #1/1

serial number each box, kind of like TNA does, and this will allow all cards to hold value and will allow them to test the water on a high end box like this

im glad the wwe boxes arent too much and the 1s that are i pretty much just buy the set on ebay and pick and choose what to to get.like platinum is 125$ and some of the newer tna are like 80-90 which isnt alot but when i can get a wwe 1 for 50$.im sure the cards would be great but prob nothing i could ever afford and the people who use buy it now would have insane prices or high stuff like 5k for a andre the giant auto or something.

good idea but they are butt ugly. i saw on a another site they are gonna be about 80$ a box which is too high compared to the newer tna stuff.

Too High? Id much rather pay 80 for 5 autos of legends than 80 for a box of tna and get a couple crappy knockouts that no one even wants.

oops was supposed to say not to high compared to
