Thanks for the clarification Billy ......... so the world's WORST job of re-releasing old stock yet again, this vault crap is just retarded, not only does if make the PRs of all thier other sets mean a little less but why would one little foil stamp make it so much more special, gawd I hate the whole 1 of 1 thing its frustrating and unfair IMO!! =( LOL

The picture doesn't match the description in the first one. The V1of1 stamp looks silver in that picture, but the description says the one being sold is the red version.
Based on the picture in the second auction, I'm seeing Silver, Gold, Blue, Red, and maybe Green foil versions. Does ITG indicate how many different foil colors they made?

Major fail by ITG, Leaf, and anyone else involved in this release. Their attempt to falsify scarcity here is a joke. I could take a random 1987 Topps card, draw Mickey Mouse ears on the player, and write 1/1 on it, but that doesn't make it scarce, even i only did it once. There's still a billion other copies of the same card out there.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

And it's pretty much the reason I don't "acknowledge" the existence of ITG anymore as far as collecting their cards. They are to the point of being the new Broders.

This is ludicrous. They are flat-out LYING.
Teal 1/1 Foil Stamp means that there are up to ten cards in the product.
If you have TEN CARDS, regardless of the color of the alteration, THERE ARE STILL TEN CARDS!!! The color of the foil on the stamp for ten identical cards does not make the cards different! If the border of the card was also teal, and the others had borders that were black, copper, green, etc., then I could buy into it. Those cards would be different. But the actual 1/1 stamped on the card, several years after the card was printed, is the only thing that makes them different from each other. This is beyond stupid. That's like saying that my black Mercury Cougar is different from your black Mercury Cougar because mine has Illinois plates and yours has Indiana plates. It's the same car! The difference is something added to the car, not something about the car itself!
"Once a Hot Head, always a Hot Head". Sorry for the rant. Stuff like this really bugs me. Remember, I'm colorblind. I would have no chance identifying these cards.
