Q: OLIVER Will we be able to score for the Australian series? A: No, and the reason is that will be our last testing period.

Id rather not be downgraded by angry little kids mad i declined a trade. A: It is the fans who decide, but I wouldnt worry about that.

Q: PETE_SPORT_3 @TOPPSMIKE a prospect series would be cool. Walker, Correa, Buxton, and others. What do you think? A: In theory, awesome idea.

A: Man, you are quick on that copy-paste-post maneuver, huh? Um, I wouldnt say there will be no more coin rewards. Q: AHEGGS @TOPPSMIKE What colors will the new boost cards be since I saw 100% boost Trout was gold? A: They wont be boost cards in 2014.

White = regular scoring Red = 1.2x Green = 1.5x Silver = 1.7x Gold = 2.0x Q: METSMAN31 @toppsmike will thereve a new point scoring system this year or different parts like classic, last years version, or a put 9 cards in a day and try to score the most A: I wouldnt say an entirely new system, but there will be some changes to the PTS categories. Where the big change comes in will be how you play them. Youll be forced to choose wisely in 2014. Like I said above, more to come on that soon. Q: AHEGGS @TOPPSMIKE Where is the alien A: Ha! Hes currently jamming away on stuff for this weekend on Topps KICK! Q: MLBMATTIE @TOPPSmike so will we be able to have some backup accounts A: Nope. One account per device.

A: There are going to be a bunch and they might be my favorite insert design so far. I love the way they look! Q: BIGWAVE @TOPPSMIKE Can we have more mascot cards? I need a Stomper. A: Sorry, didnt see this one at first! We are definitely doing more with the mascots this season. By the way, have you seen Mr. Met on Twitter throwing some shots at Mr. Redlegs?! Q: JUSTINKWEIT @TOPPSMIKE is hanford in your wiffle ball league? A: Hes the MVP. Q: MATTHEW27 @TOPPSMIKE will I get my ards back that someone took from me when I got offered trout 2 days ago BEFORE you said it was being deleted A: I will speak to TOPPSMODJASON about that for you.

Q: DRHOTLUNCH Will there be a Topps Employee insert series this year? If not, dont worry - well handle it. A: I think well just call it the Topps Legends set. Your thoughts? Q: THECOLLECTORGUY @TOPPSMIKE whos your 2nd favorite team, the reds? A: In baseball, I dont have a second favorite, really. If I had to pick though, Id say the Rays even though theyre in the AL East. Love how they develop talent and Wil Myers is nuts! Q: MICHAEL32 @TOPPSMIKE say I get a new phone. Can I log into my account from it or will I be forced to start over/quit? And, how will u merge accounts... Password protected? A: You will need to go through customer service to re-acquire your account. However, keep in mind that were going to be keeping track of how many times you do this. So please dont consider this an avenue to potentially scam your way into making accounts or anything else. Its actually fairly easy to monitor. Alright gang, thats it for me this week. More to come on Monday, where Ill reveal what the big change in gameplay is! Have a good weekend, BUNT Nation!
