TOTAL Cardboard


 I couldn't figure out what to write about today and then it showed up in my mailbox.  I had ordered four pack of 2019 Topps TOTAL and they arrived today.  Each box held two packs of ten cards, each box also held a spongy thing to keep the packs from moving around.  The pack wrappers were nothing special just silver mylar.  As promised I received ten cards in each pack.  I
got one parallel card numbered to ten.  It was the first card in the first pack I opened. It was the Aroldis Chapman, numbered 8/10.  It is a little different on the back also, it is numbered 81A, no other card had the A designation so that must be for the of 10 cards, I wonder if the of 5 cards have a B after the number.  I got one Padres cards and it was a good one, I believe there are two other Padres in the first wave. The backs are pretty generic, the players name, position and team.  A short paragraph of between 3 and 5 lines about the player.  No card in the four packs had anything longer than five lines.  Both the front and the back of the cards are very glossy.  
Out of the 40 cards I got 30 different players, I got dupes of Justin Smoak, James McCann, Chad Bettis, Chris Davis (Baltimore) and Melky Cabrera.  I got just 20 different teams represented.  
Here are the players I got and are available for trade.
Wandy Peralta, Reds
Tyler O, Neil, St. Louis
Chris Davis x2, Baltimore
Justin Smoak x2, Toronto
Devon Travis, Toronto
Chad Bettis x2, Colorado
Tyler Glasnow, Tampa Bay
Willy Adames, Tampa Bay
Dereck Rodriguez, San Francisco
Tyler Austin, San Francisco
James McCann x2, White Sox
Alex Colome, White Sox
Mike Trout, Angels
James Barria, Angels
Kenley Jansen, Dodgers
David Freese, Dodgers
Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers
Night Owl has the right of first refusal on the Dodgers
Stephen Piscotty, A's
Yusmeiro Petit, A's
Fuji has the right of first refusal on the A's
Trevor Rosenthal, Washington
Victor Robles, Washington
Daniel Descalso, Cubs
Steve Cishek, Cubs
Matt Andries, Diamondbacks
Caleb Joseph, Diamondbacks
Wilmer Flores, Diamondbacks
Jeuse Aguilar, Brewers
Neil Walker, Marlins
Pablo Lopez, Marlins
Max Moroff, Cleveland
Trevor Bauer, Cleveland
Trevor May, Twins

I am interested in trading for the Topps Totals Padres or autographs for my Frankenset.

    I must say that I am disappointed in this set. I have been an advocate for Total to come back for the longest time, but this is not a Total set. It is too glossy and too expensive! Plus, it would appear that their correlation stinks as well.

    If you're able to trade the A's for Padres... I say go for it. If not, I'd love to give them a nice home. I won't be buying any of this product directly from Topps. Like zman40, the price point is way too expensive for my wallet. If I see discounted singles at the card show next month, I'll grab some.

    By the way... Congratulations on pulling the Tatis!

    That sucks about all the doubles. You would figure with an online only product that they would at least throw the customers a bone and give them better correlation or just let them pick out the teams they want.
    Happy you got the Chapman parallel and the Tatis.
    I might have to trade you for some Rays and Tigers from the set.

    I'm interested in the Tyler O'Neill card. I should be able to help with the Frankenset.

    Thanks for sharing. I don't think I've seen anyone else open these.

    Sure I'll take the Dodgers even tho I've never been impressed with the look. ... I have a frankenset auto or two that hopefully will fill a slot.
