2020 USA Election Topps Now
 
They are doing it this time around again!
3 cards to start it off.

#1 Donald Trump / Joe Biden
#2 Joe Biden
#3 Donald Trump

I don't think these will carry as much premium as some of the 2016 Election cards, but it's great to see that Topps is doing this again.

I agree.

I still have the four Topps "Trump Inauguration" cards that I purchased back then.

You're right; they won't hold he same premium, but still cool for the PC.

As a political nerd I plan to pick up the complete run.

You're right, and I don't know why.

As a matter of fact, I just redeemed $20.00 (2,000 points) and I was not able to apply it to any of the "Topps Now" releases.

ketchupman36 09-30-2020 05:09 PM

Maybe it's a glitch? I'm going to hold off a day and hopefully the ability to use points on these is restored.

I wish Topps would treat this (as well as their WWE releases) as they do their Baseball and seed in incentive ratio variants 1/1, 1/5/etc into their print runs, 'tho I know with the WWE the print runs can be microscopic under 100 already, it's nice to give customers motivation to order more and buyers get a special bonus surprise.

I'm not sure about these cards if they're going to be an ongoing part of a series featuring the debates, campaigning and the election, but I'll say the photography looked nice for Trump and Biden capturing the debate, 'tho the head to head card was a bit of a longshot view and would have been nice to see something tighter or even a side by side

They're saving that for a WWE set

okumeister 10-01-2020 12:36 PM

Just noticed the word DEBATE being in quotes (" ") for card #1.
Nice troll job by Topps.

ketchupman36 10-01-2020 12:46 PM

I was able to use my coupon today so Topps fixed whatever issue they were having.

Timed it so I couldn't use a bunch on the postseason sets. Dirty...like politics. :rolleyes:

TY for posting this, just used some points on "Debate" Cards :rolleyes:

okumeister 10-07-2020 07:39 PM

Extremely high print run.
LOTS of speculators went into buy the product, including someone like me who bought 20 instead of the usual 5 or 10.

#1 Donald Trump / Joe Biden : [B]PR 4,365[/B]
#2 Joe Biden : [B]PR 3,946[/B]
#3 Donald Trump : [B]PR 6,634[/B]

okumeister 10-08-2020 12:09 PM

I think we should be getting new cards today with yesterday's Vice Presidential debate.

dboutic617 10-08-2020 12:53 PM

Released 10/8/20:

#5 - Kamala Harris/Mike Pence

Fly RC?

okumeister 10-08-2020 01:57 PM

OMG, they actually released the card with the fly on his head!!!
Topps troll job at its finest!

Holy smokes!!!

elny43 10-08-2020 02:12 PM

I'm backing up the truck and buying that Pence card lmao

scottagibson 10-08-2020 03:35 PM

I can't believe they got this so right. Holy smokes. 50k print run?!

MTBRM 10-08-2020 03:42 PM

[QUOTE=Dr. K;16523519]Fly RC?[/QUOTE]


LOL

I always wondered who tf would want a card of Cheeto or this psychopath, but the fly is just too damn good to pass up.

Jamesebee 10-08-2020 04:48 PM

I wanted to ask two questions as I dip my toe in the Topps Now water (bought 1 3-pack for the first debate and plan to buy the rest for historical context purposes):

First, does the PR of the first wave strike anybody else as "high", as [B]okumeister[/B] mentioned? Compared to P2020 numbers I've seen, that PR seems low. Or is the comparison other Topps Now series...and it does end up being higher...

Second, we won't know for sure until we see it, but how would Topps handle a circumstance where they don't have a second or third debate? Would they still go with a three-pack for a town hall for one of the candidates? Or could they just release as a single card?
