Probably a dumb question, but how does one become a Topps Now Platinum member? Would love to get my hands on a few of those Rookie Cup autos.

They're up.

I'm a Reds fan and those auto prices are at least $50 too high for Steer and Abbott.

It looks like the free market agrees with a lot of these autos being too high. I bought one with a coupon but ... still felt like I was overpaying.

You can get a rookie auto of Diaz for like $25? Idk, I mean, great looking cards and the rarity is nice but ... you should only be buying this for PC, that's for sure.

Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson are both sold out.

Good point! I picked up Diaz to add to the PC.

Same. There were so few Diaz cards for his rookie year I couldn't resist grabbing this one. At least I had a little money in reward credits.

Dear Topps Now Platinum Members,

Jung Hoo Lee is officially a San Francisco Giant!

Very soon on topps.com, we will be offering a Jung Hoo Lee press-conference worn San Francisco Giants hat-relic #’d to 25 & Below!

This one-card pack will not be eligible for early reservations, but as a courtesy to our loyal platinum members, we still wanted to provide an early notice.

Thank you for your interest & best of luck!

Wow...$400 for a hat relic. That's even worse than I would've speculated.

[zworykin]

I know he's the new hotness, but he's also not a "real" rookie and hasn't proven himself against MLB opponents and for crying out loud it's the Giants.

That somehow adds up to MORE EXPENSIVE than Juan Soto Yankee hat relics?

What. On. Earth.

[sauceboy]

Sold out, too!

Guy on eBay is offering $1,750 for this. I am tempted because that entire WBC meant a lot to me on a personal level. Horrible price, though, right?

TN isn't truly mainstream, even though some of the recently Ohtani PRs may suggest it is. So as a result, almost any TN card, especially the autos and relics, are primarily PC cards, meaning buyers are collecting the card not trying to flip/invest.

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay, is basically the point. I wouldn't touch that for $500 because it doesn't mean much to me. But if it truly means a lot to you, then maybe it's a decent price.

Personally, I imagine - I have no data, anecdotal or evidentiary, to back this up - that for $1500-2000 you might be able to pick up a /10. Which, in that scenario, would make this /25 a bit overpriced.

But I don't recommend passing on anything you truly feel needs to be in your PC, provided you have ample funds to buy without going into debt.

[sauceboy]

Appreciate the insight! Thanks so much!

That's the beauty of NOW, a game attended that gets a card, not to mention a relic, is an amazing collection piece.

Agree with a lot of txrngr34, it may be worth watching for the lower numbers as you may get a great jewel piece from the side of the base and at the same or lower than the purple /25. I kick myself for not jumping on some with logos from games when people were dumping them even years later.

Weigh patience vs. scarcity, you may find better if you wait, but you may miss out if people PC or hoard.

Good luck!

Dear Topps Customer,

Thank you for your purchase of the Game-used Base Relic # to 99 or Lower, Auto-Relic # to 10 or Lower - Bryce Harper - 2023 MLB TOPPS NOW Card commemorating his 300th Home Run.

We have identified that the autograph cards numbered 10 and below were not autographed as promised. We intend to correct this oversight.
If you received one of these autographed cards, number 10 or lower, without the autograph and would like to exchange it for the autographed version, please contact customer service no later than February 1st, 2024.

The Topps team will provide a prepaid label to ship your card to our facilities and will exchange your sequentially numbered auto card missing the auto with the corresponding correct autographed version. Corrected cards will be shipped by April 15th, 2024.

We apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you again for your purchase and your patience.

Sincerely,
The Topps Now Team

I actually pulled a 3/5 Harper from the pack (jersey number!), and no auto on it like mentioned above in Topps statement.
Anybody else actually buy and pull /10 or below?

The email from Topps says "exchange it for the autographed version", but I'm not certain if that means they will get Harper's signature on the original card which I return (it should be but not sure from the wording), or if they are sending a completely new card with new relic piece and signature.
I really like the card and relic piece itself, so hoping the original card will be signed and returned back.

thats a beauty! they better be giving you the same card back with him signing it. otherwise that means theres a lot of "replacement" relic cards floating around.
