My guess is they weren't prepared for the HRs to come over the weekend and perhaps expecting HR700 later in the week. Their design proposals didn't get clearance so they just made what they could. I bet they would've had a /700 like Judge's HR60 /60s if the HR came on a weekday...

Why feel bad? Not like they reduce the price tomorrow before the timer runs out (though that'd be a great idea...).

Topps Now is mainly for those that enjou collecting the moments, which is great and I'm glad there is a place for that.

If you're buying TN for the quick flip, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

i dont buy TN for quick flips, but i will buy them if it makes sense. and yes, its about the moment, but these last few autos they've dropped, the prices just are absurd compared to the market price of what most of these guys go for.

txrngr34 · 09-26-2022, 02:46 PM

These auto prices are ridiculous.

I wasn't buying Alonso at $100 but a $200 entry point seems astronomical to me.

I'm not a Mets or Alonso collector but I buy those moments I feel are cool...and, obviously, within a reasonable price range for me.

It just feels like a tough buy for those that are collectors - I hope I'm wrong though, maybe those folks think it's a reasonable price.

looks like were down to just the #/25 now. purple last strikes again lol.

I'm pretty sure that's what you both meant :P

Are the playoff sets going up right after the team clinches, or like the next day at noon?

Next day with the rest of that day's Topps Now cards. Or the day after that, even.

Ok that’s what I figured but didn’t want to miss a possible auto set tonight.

phreakyq · 09-28-2022, 02:18 PM

cards have been up for a minute. no postseason sigs for cardinals

Fsegaud · 09-28-2022, 02:37 PM

Slim pickings as far as post season autograph sets goes...will we see another release? Seems like Topps is shying away from these...will that reflect on the RTOD's next year?

Platman · 09-29-2022, 10:24 AM

Good Morning all,

Thank you for your patience today as we've been working all morning to get any possible relic from what was an historic night up in Toronto, ON, Canada last night.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge tied the American League record by hitting his 61st home run of the season - tying a 61-year-old record set by Roger Maris in 1961.

The parallels will be the following:

Aaron Judge
/99 - Base Relic
/49 - Base Relic
/25 - Base Relic
/10 - Base Relic
/5 - Base Relic

Please reply by 12:30 p.m. EST for reservations and we thank you again for your support!
The Topps NOW team

Edited: note there were restrictions placed on reservations so there should be cards available, just won’t know what until drop.

Cool. Thanks! Not a Judge/Yankees guy but may have to grab a base card (pun acknowledged) just for the historic value.

VinnyH · 09-29-2022, 12:47 PM

I want to try for the 62HR base relic. Somehow I feel the HR breaking the record is more special. Hopefully this one today will set the price for the next one.

zworykin · 09-29-2022, 12:50 PM

Yeah, 62 will be cool too (if it happens - I've got this weird feeling that it won't, but I'm not rooting one way or the other).

But I'm a sucker for the '61 home runs in '61, then Judge hit #61 61 years later' angle.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those '61 is still the MLB record' whackos, but it IS the AL record and it IS the Yankees record.

I will say that being older than many here I just can’t justify sticker autos. Give me a nice on-card auto and I feel that little connection to the signer.
