Topps NOW! is out. Yay. - Page 341

joejoemay · 11-03-2016, 10:00 AM

I have to say the Albert Almora Jr. Card is going to be the Autograph to get. I mean he was only in the game as a pinch runner but he doesn't have any other post season card. He has two Topps Now cards #136 and #152 neither being especially rare (Mid 700 PR) but he has no card in the Play-off Team or the World Series set for sale right now. He also didn't do anything worthy of a card during the playoffs (Unless he gets one today for scoring the go ahead run)...this means the auto card will have an unknown though most likely very small PR.

Worked all night and still haven't got the PL PRs out...I am not impressed.

That H surely looks like a Z to me.

I really hope the autos are for players that haven't had Topps Now autos already. If they do a Bryant every game, they real kill the market value and rarity of the cards.

Not really...that guy is young enough to be my son and where I respect Sandberg and he was a Philly when he first came up I would never wear another teams colors.

So true.
Flooding the market with KB auto does no good to anybody.
But I saw that KB signed exclusive deal with Topps for 7 years.
Maybe having his auto for today's Topps Now (again) will be great way for Topps (not to us) to "celebrate" this event.

Zobrist run scoring hit in the 10th is what's on the screen>

rcgdodge · 11-03-2016, 10:20 AM

So what time do we think these cards show up? 2pm or later?

I think they hit around 2pm yesterday too, yep.

okumeister · 11-03-2016, 10:22 AM

With Zobrist winning the MVP, his giveaway bicycle on the custom cards might have increased some value.

I don't know what to do if I ever win that thing though.
I don't want to ride it killing its value, but wouldn't want to ship that huge thing to someone after selling as well.
Too big to keep it as a display as well.
But again, the chances of winning are slim to none, so I guess I should stop fantasizing.

TimBuckTwo · 11-03-2016, 10:24 AM

It was straight up noon where I am in MST so 2 pm EST sounds right.

I think it is going to be later.
These Topps Now cards, especially the relics probably need authorization from MLB as well.
Everybody related with MLB must be super busy today, except for the players who get to do whatever they want after the long season ended.

Any chance we see a Fred hat relic?

If he's wearing a hat that's from '84, chances are it's a bit too sentimental to cut up for relics. Now, if it's a game used base, hack away.....

joejoemay · 11-03-2016, 10:54 AM

PL PR's are going to be crazy high...someone is going to be eating their hat. Topps UK site is selling them as well....

Not sure...they just tweeted me that the PR would not be announced until the UK numbers were in.

wow, I think this is the first time that's happened. Dual listing by topps now. How does selling in the UK effect your strategy?

okumeister · 11-03-2016, 11:36 AM

Someone just asked Topps twitter acct about when the Topps Now cards will come out for today, and Topps answered "Not until later this afternoon".
Could be a looooooooong day.
