Johan Santana #57
Bench Warmer
In an exclusive podcast on Superfractor.com, Clay Luraschi from Topps has said that they have lowered the BDP checklist from 40 subjects to 20-25 subjects. This is big news as their were a lot of question marks with the lower tier / some having 2nd year autographs in the product.
The original checklist was:
1. Wilmer Flores
2. Mike Stanton
3. Jesus Montero
4. Buster Posey
5. Logan Morrison
6. Gordan Beckham
7. Greg Halman
8. Michel Inoa
9. Chris Tillman
10. Josh Reddick
11. Rafael Rodriguez (assuming it's the Giants int'l signee)
12. Zach Collier
13. Mat Gamel
14. Lonnie Chisenhall
15. Ike Davis
16. Anthony Hewitt
17. Charlie Blackmon
18. Mike Montgomery
19. Hector Rondon
20. Javier Rodriguez
21. Adam Moore
22. Gorkys Hernandez
23. Lance Lynn
24. Brad Hand
25. Kala Kaaihue
26. Jason Knapp
27. Carlos Gutierrez
28. Daniel Schlereth
29. Evan Frederickson
30. Steve Garrison
31. David Hernandez
32. Jason Donald
33. Cody Satterwhite
34. Josh Lindblom
35. Cody Adams
36. Alan Horne
37. Dennis Dixon
38. Luke Montz
Those are ranked in tiers prettymuch, so it would be nice to see if the bottom 2 could be removed to make for a strong product. However, with it moving to 12 boxes / case instead of 10, and now lowering the amount of autos, does this mean an increased print run? Hopefully not.
