Toys R Us purples

For the better part of the past decade the retail exclusive parallels have been known as fun ways to draw the hobby to the masses.  Sometimes these exclusives are so rare that go for mega bucks.  Look up the 2011 Topps Update Target Red Mike Trout for proof.

One color parallel that will likely no longer be a retail exclusive is the Toys R Us purples.  With this 2018 Opening Day purple, it's safe to say this will be the final Toys R Us purple exclusive of Andrew McCutchen in a Pirates uniform I will be adding.


I think in the coming years player collectors will have a hard time tracking down the TRU purples and they could command a big buck for star players especially rookie years.
