Can someone give me some info on the Topps Triple Threads? Let me know if i have this all straight...

2006 Topps Triple Threads:

Only the cards 101-120 have a limited print run of 225?
What are the print runs for 1-100?
What is the Plate color thing of Black, Cyan, Magenta or Yellow?

These "printed runs" are some of the most annoying (and cool) things i have seen in a while...

I guess i could figure it out with the beckett book, but i have to ask...

When they say a certain group of cards are worth extra, .75X-2X of basic... i understand what the basic is... but... is the basic card worth 1x? or is 1X = double the price of the card? So therefore a basic card is worth $1.00 and then the .75X card is worth $1.75 ? :dance

Triple Threads was a complicated but highly successful set. You do have the PRs correct for the numbers 101-120, and I believe Topps didn't release the PR for the 1-100 cards. "Plate color thing of Black, Cyan, Magenta or Yellow" are the printing plates used to produce the cards, four colors for each base set card and each a 1/1. 1x would be the same price of the card. When they say .75x-2x basic, you always go with the higher one, the bottom one's just there to cover up lower eBay sales I believe. So, if you had a $2 card and the multiplier was .75-2X then I would say it books at $4.
Hope this helps...
