Mets set didn't show up the day after they clinched. You may be waiting another day.

Or maybe not. It's Topps. Who knows...

fulltritty · 09-23-2022, 02:44 PM

Up now. No auto set.

phreakyq · 09-23-2022, 02:46 PM

and no Ghost card, boo!

Platman · 09-23-2022, 03:06 PM

Got a reply from NOW about Yankees auto sets...

"Nothing for the Postseason sets - saving the autographs for hopefully what will be some historic homers and possible postseason moments/awards!"

zworykin · 09-23-2022, 03:16 PM

They think the Yankees are going to have postseason moments worth commemorating? How silly!

interesting....i wonder if that means contractually they have Judge to only sign X amount of autos per year and are holding out on that instead of putting him and/or others in the postseason set.

zworykin · 09-23-2022, 05:25 PM

Speak of the devil - shipping notice that appears to be for my Boston RTOD "auto component"...

I finally get to use some of my "Rewards" points for something.

Purchased only one set; hoping to use them for the auto sets or other autographs if the Yankees progress in the playoffs.

zworykin · 09-23-2022, 10:26 PM

Hmm. Wonder what we're gonna see tomorrow...

16Cubs · 09-23-2022, 10:28 PM

Well, wondering what the Plats will be able to buy out entirely at least.

Viper Collects · 09-23-2022, 10:29 PM

Oh boy....

phreakyq · 09-23-2022, 10:37 PM

did i miss something?

speedyjg13 · 09-23-2022, 10:43 PM

I'd love a shot at getting tomorrow's #700 HR Pujols Auto Card to join my below Albert cards. I am a clector and would love to add the card to the PC!

zworykin · 09-23-2022, 11:03 PM

That's awesome that he inscribed them all.

Platman · 09-24-2022, 08:30 AM

Well this came out of nowhere…

Dear Platinum Members,

MLB history was made last night in Los Angeles - very fitting for a Hollywood-type story that has been building up all season long!

St. Louis Cardinals designated hitter Albert Pujols had a multi-homer game for the 61st time in his illustrious career, hitting career home runs #699 and #700.

Pujols connected on his first homer in the night in the top of the third inning - a two-run shot that opened up the scoring for the evening. The 50,041 at Dodgers Stadium and millions more tuning in around the world didn't have to wait long for #700 to fly over the outfield wall, as he went deep once again in the fourth off of Dodgers reliever Phil Bickford.

The 42-year-old is the fourth player in Major League history to reach this 700-homer milestone, joining Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth.

To commemorate this incredible statistical achievement, we are honored to offer up the following cards today:

Albert Pujols
/99 - Autographed card
/49 - Autographed card
/25 - Autographed card
/10 - Autographed card
/5 - Autographed card

Please reply with your reservation requests by 12:00 p.m. EST and please provide any alternate parallel selections in the case that lower numbered parallels are sold out.

Thank you for your support and we hope you have a great day!
The Topps NOW team

thanks for the info. im gonna guess #/99 is gonna start at $500, but there's at least a chance they make it to the public with the card count. Shame they couldnt get a relic also, but oh well.

im sure that #/10 will be gone in a heartbeat though.

I bet its much higher. Gotta remember, an unproven rookie like Julio has base autos starting at $400. I bet Topps cranks this one way up.

zworykin · 09-24-2022, 08:57 AM

Yes, the /10 red color match will be fully reserved, I'll eat my hat otherwise. I suspect the /5s will be gone too, they usually have been recently on the big cards.

Obviously there's precedent for them increasing a player's prices during the season (see, e.g., J Rod), but here's what they charged two weeks ago for his only other autos so far this season (there were no /99s hence the N/A):

September 11, 2022 881 Albert Pujols Auto N/A 499 749 999 1249 2999

NICE!!!!! been a fan since the 1st album and Meloria has to be my favorite. Honestly, not a fan of the new one though.

txrngr34 · 09-24-2022, 10:03 AM

Ohtani autos /99 were $500.

Could Albert be as much?

I know it's a monumental milestone but still.
