Not entirely sure when they released them...I noticed personally about 30 minutes ago.
So go check your award shelves and check your card collections :D This whole set looks amazing! Love the award :D

Hmm these counts ended up lower than I thought they'd be, I ebayed a couple sets and now I'm thinking I shouldn't have
Think it happened around noonish today (PST). Can't believe how low some of the counts are. Around just 1000 on the blue fashion I have. Glad to have a full set with an award though :)
I know! I was surprised at the counts as well. Makes it that much more worth it to me, considering I had to get up hours earlier than I was used to - to catch the drops. Well done everyone!
Exactly. Very glad to have decided to chase this set. First unique and cool set I've enjoyed for quite a while.
yay!!
Blue cc: 998
White cc: 2194
I'm going to try and piece together a set of white fashion now that the award has dropped. The value after the award will take a hit but it's a good looking set that I think will stay fairly popular.
I am pretty happy with the card counts on the awards. I am also surprised that not as many people were trading for my dupes over the weekend. I know I helped a couple people finish sets, but I still have 6 or 7 black dupes left.
I barely got black 13 (last one I needed) in time completely by accident. Early in the day yesterday I checked the award checklist which said to complete by 4PM (Eastern). Knowing I had nearly all day and only had 2 left (although the hardest ones 01/13) and 5 dupes, I relaxed and just casually spammed the fan feed every 15-20mins. I ended up picking up #13 at right about 11:55 and a few minutes later my phone buzzed telling me my award had arrived.
WTF?!?!!? I went back to check the last transmission and sure enough it said awards will be given out at 12. Damn that was close.
Thanks Topps for consistency in your app. I woulda been pissed had I missed it.
I got the last blue I needed with about 4 mintues to spare. Nothing like coming down to the to complete a set.
Glad I got the black. That card is beautiful and only a 492CC. The black award is my favorite card of the set.
Yeah shocked only 492, but from the way it looked in the feeds there were many selling, not many buying and the people who were buying weren't willing to give anything of value up for their missing ones (had so many please offers of just green or red base cards)
It's crazy only 51 purple awards and 11 red awards. Maybe Topps shouldn't have started with such a ridiculous pricetag on those packs.
What's crazy is that there were 11 people that spent that kind of dough to get them. Holy cow. Even with the discount at the end.
There are people who buy the bundles without any intent of chasing the set. These types of cards make it easier to exploit the boundary between sale value and trade value so even when they are stupidly overpriced, as long as you move them quickly they are almost always a safe investment. As an example, I know there is one person in one of the FB groups I'm in who completed all colors without buying a single bundle (or so he claims).
