I pulled white knob and saw the saw cut but we didn’t see the back of card to see if it had/hadn’t saw cut wording. I think it’s a nice gimmick but it won’t stand up in value over the years.

My son and I made a trip to our favorite card shop in Salt Lake City on Saturday. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive for us. We bought one box of wax to open at the shop. We decided on Topps series 2 so we could look for the Holiday. My son pulled a Black Box Variant in the first pack. The look on his face was priceless.

Always good to have chase cards in a basic flagship product. This is good for the hobby. If it’s a true error card, those likely would not be on the checklist. So if PSA is no longer grading error cards I would say no. But, card number 276 should be on the checklist, so pretty sure they will grade it. Different situation when there is no checklist. You sent the card to Koosman. What kind of work allows you a month off! 😊

As an Orioles fan...I should probably want the Jackson Holliday card more than I do. Watched one of Ryan's videos last week from Breakout Cards. Couldn't believe the high prices, for the Billy Ripken FF and also his on card auto. But I understand now.

Cool video! I would not mind picking up a Ripken and Holiday. Keep posting and enjoy your month off.

I didn't know about the "Sawcut" label on the back, nor their variations. Perhaps, the sawcut without the label, is someone trying to make a more rare variation themselves?

The term SSP means nothing unless it serial numbered. The inserts in the 90s were tough ro pull for the most part especially in basketball and far more innovative than today.

disagree here. they don't need to be serial #'d.

The beauty of the original FF card (I was there for the hype) is that it was an error card and this is a gimmick that will fade something awful. Topps/Fanatics is getting desparate as there are non-baseball cards in a baseball product and going back to 1990, I don't remember Barry Sanders being in the 1990 Topps baseball card set. Also, I still think you should get Ryan to add 1 or 2 inscriptions on the rookie card.

Nice video. I won’t be chasing the Holliday card, but it’s a nice gimmick. Reminds me of when I was buying boxes of 1991 Upper Deck for the Michael Jordan card. I got one in each box I bought. Of course boxes were only $30-$36. Also, a single seller has all the “wrong” front Jackson Holliday variations. Seems suspicious. I’ll email links.

Yeah. Cheaper and you could complete most of the set. You could buy that box, get a Jordan, and most, if not all, of the Nolan Ryan Heroes cards (not including the auto). I know Upper Deck started the insert craze, but it was manageable in those boxes. Now there are too many parallels, inserts, and worthless autos and relics. You can’t even get a complete base set, especially with less packs and cards per pack. For modern stuff, I just buy a Red Sox team set from the flagship releases (Series 1, 2, and update) and individual cards of players I collect: Pedro, Ortiz, and Pedroia. Of course, I did get the 2024 Topps Series 1 Mookie Golden Mirror variation since it shows him from his return press conference at Fenway last season.

Thanks for another informative episode! Just subscribed to your newsletter.

Thanks Greg!

If sawcut w/wording is the rarest (0.5%), what keeps someone from taking a base with sawcut wording word (3%) and turning it into a sawcut with wording? Once you know the dimensions, it would be easy to duplicate with a table saw. I can shave 1/128" off just about anything with mine so I see opportunities for some. Not for me. I enjoy sleeping well at night.

Of course this is all deliberate by Topps to boost sales of boxes and packs. The hobby and KZreadrs have walked right into it.

Eye roll worthy gimmick. Doesn't affect my hobby in the least, though.

Dozens of wrong back Holliday cards are popping up by the day with Holliday backs but random other players on the front as well. These seem to have started surfacing over the last week or so.

My guess would be that they'll eventually grade it, but they'll be a little slow to the party. You know how it is the big company not being agile. I understand, perhaps somebody bought a dozen sawcut above the number & exacto knifed them. When PSA says they'll only grade cards from the checklist really what they mean is they'll only grade cards from the checklist except in cases where they decide to grade others. They have hundreds of graders and theses guys have to correctly identify which of millions cards this is.

5 like the original and then the saw cut so 6 total those are the actual intentionally issued ones. The others are most likely just printing errors

Why would Topps have so many different variations to try to cover it up the original Billy Ripken? You would have thought they would have just blacked it out? The saw cut is my favorite but that must just be a complete error originally as well? 🤷

If it was intentionally done it's just a parallel, no different than the other thousands of parallels they make. I just don't get the hype. Parallels aren't new to modern cards.
