2022 Topps Baseball Forum

I've been following these 1987 Throwback Autographs on ebay, for one of the guys that I PC.  My gut is telling me that the base card is more rare than the black SN / 199.  There are about 87 cards in this auto set in Series 1 + 79 in series 2 +75 in update [and also an adjacent set of 1987 all star cards]  with

base no SN

black SN /199,

gold  SN /50, 

red SN /25,

platinum SN  1 / 1.

Has anyone else noticed this with the guy they collect, chase, buy on ebay?  Does anyone know if there was a print run published for the bae autos?  Discussion board on another site?

I only know some discussion boards for baseball card collectors like Sports Card Forum, Net54baseball.com Forums, or Beckett Message Boards. I think that you can find something useful for you.

The published pack odds for 2022 S1 were:

- 1987 Topps Baseball autographs 1:170 hobby packs

- 1987 Topps Baseball autographs black /199 1:705 packs

So if they have the same checklist then it looks like the black /199 should be a little over 4x rarer than the base.
