Prior to the Coronavirus outbreak I picked up a pair of 2014 needs for a very cheap price.
Coincidentally they feature color parallels that are difficult to get true rhymes with.
The 2014 Opening Day purple was an exclusive to Toys R Us packs.
The 2014 Topps Orange is a factory set exclusive. These are very rare because most factory sets remain sealed and those that are opened only contain 5 cards of the 660 card set to be the orange exclusives.
McCutchen along with Kershhaw, Cabrera, Trout appeared on the cover of the box set for the 2014 Factory Set. I still want to get one of those for my collection. Sealed factory sets are ranging in the $100+ market.
That's expensive ($100)! Why so? Any McCutchen card with that hair is a thing of beauty!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. I know Devers has a RC in it, but that cant be the selling point. I know the 5 card packs of orange exclusive sell for big money and often times those 5 cards can cover the cost of the rest of set (if the set gets cracked open).
DeleteThe colored Topps parallels have really held up since 2011 or so.
ReplyDeleteI really miss the true borders Topps had 2010-2014.
DeleteWowza. $100 for a factory set of 2014 Topps? That's insane. I struggled to pull the trigger on my 2019 Topps set and it was only $31. Anyways... congratulations on crossing these two parallels off of your list. I could see where it'd be really hard to find that orange parallel if you're a player collector.
