what do we minor league collectors have to look forward to this offseason? bow chrome is out, bowman heritage is dead (or so i've been told), here's what i know is comming out this offseason

topps traded/update (not all that exciting...50 rookies, many of whom are the jacoby ellsbury/jay bruce types who are in the big leagues for good)
bowman "draft" (though it only has like 60 draft cards anymore)
donruss elite extra (looks like this is going to be a bigger 120 card set)


unconfirmed (at least to me)

just...are they going to make another set? does anyone have a confirmed word either way..usually they are good for two 50-75 card sets a winter
topps 52 rookie edition: will this be back for a 3rd year? i hope so...half of my cards for spring training seem to come from this set
tristar: graced us with 400 cards during the season..i would assume they will make some sort of 100 card draft set...though i've seen nothing in print about this and i'm allways worried it could be another super-pricey eligance product
razor see above...they'll be releasing something...but it could be tied to the autos so packs are like $20 and unsigned singles are impossible to find
upper deck: havnet seen anything about a 3rd series, that would theoreically be chock full o' rookies


if anyone knows anything else, or has more definate rumors than i do, please post away....

Topps 52 is a AAA graphers dream come true. Course I'm no longer a AAA grapher, but still lots of guys who never had and never will have cards.

Looks like BDP has a release date of 12/8 - great, right as I'll be moving
U&H has a release date of 10/15

Where did you hear this was going to replace Topps 52? I thought this would replace Bowman Heritage.

Honestly I can't wait for Bowman Draft to come out. Can't wait to get the Futures games cards signed including Nate Schierholtz and Angel Villalona

Is there pricing on that set that you posted about? With a print run that large, I would have to imagine it is a higher price.

That documentary baseball by UD sounds sweet. Any release date on that bad boy?

Phew,

I will bow down to anyone who gets a set of nearly 5,000 cards signed.....


Knowing UD though they will put the likes of Mantle, Ted Williams, and etc. in the set making it an impossible feet to actually accomplish.

Heck they will probably throw in a Michael Jordan or two for good measure as well.
