Help me with my Title Shot 2011 Autograph Set - Cards & Info!

[WinWithoutaKnife]

A very mysterious, very condition-sensitive, very rookie card-packed autograph set. That's why I've decided to take it on.

I'm looking for the cards that I know I don't have - and any information anyone might have about cards that do or don't even exist!

Done: GSP, McCorkle, Henderson, Almeida, Harris, Hamman, Shields, Cerrone, Bonnar, Munoz, Jorgensen, Stann, Pettis, Hallman, Edgar, Stout, Horodecki, Benavidez

I know I need: Cruz, Matyushenko, Griffin, Velasquez, Hughes, Berry, Gracie, Maia, Akiyama, Okami

I might still need Bonnar and I'd like to upgrade my Jorgensen, Pattis, and Hendo.

Now, the questions are:

1) Does AKIYAMA exist? I have seen rubies and the actual redemption card.
2) Does OKAMI exist? I have seen one ruby, but not the base blue signature.
3) Is there actually a GOMI that is mentioned on the Topps flyer (yet Akiyama is not mentioned?)
4) Is there actually a RUA that is mentioned on the Topps flyer (have yet to see one?)

Any help would be much appreciated. Buying or trading for the autos I need. Check my bucket below.

1. Akiyama does exist. Topps just stop fulfill them after first few copies, for no apparent reason.
2. Okami does exist. Tough pull.
3. Gomi does exist. See Akiyama.
4. Rua redemption exists. I have not seen live card yet, but I believe they will be live soon.

Many cards in Topps unnumbered base auto are short printed. Good luck find them all^^

When you are done with TS Base Auto, try to work on TS Auto/Relic set. Auto/Relic from TS are just pain in the @ss...

chiayuwang - thanks so much for the info! Does this mean Topps is no longer fulfilling Akiyama and Gomi redemptions? I.e. If I pulled one from a fresh box of Title Shot, I would receive a replacement?

Sounds like my set is going to be a lot more work! Speaking of which - anyone have any of the cards on my list?

BUMP! Still need the following Title Shot autographs: Cruz, Matyushenko, Griffin, Velasquez, Hughes, Gracie, Okami, Gomi

Good. Looking. Out.

BTW, Shogun Rua autos are live now, they sell for quite a bit too...

[WinWithoutaKnife]

Thanks to this board I not only confirmed the Rua's existence, but I also picked one up in trade with Hudda! I'm cool with the high value, since it's Rua's 1st autograph and so scarce. I think the real trick here is going to be Gomi. I've never actually seen one. The Okami I'm bidding on is the 2nd one I've seen, and Akiyama I've seen before as well.

[chiayuwang]

I have seen the Gomi base auto a while back on eBay. Didn't pull the trigger, since I have one outstanding from Topps. Big mistake. I really have no idea why Topps would not fulfill them. There are plenty of Okami/Akiyama/Gomi sticker auto in the later releases. My wait for Gomi is about 12 months & counting...

Have you called them? They are usually pretty good once you light a fire under them. It would be interesting to hear what they have to say to you...
