2024 Topps Transcendent Exclusive VIP Invitation �� GOLD /100

I bought an invitation for my dad to join me last year. I believe all in it was $3,600 (w/ tax). Had a fantastic time spending the day and evening at the event with him. A trip neither of us will soon forget!

He kept a few cards from the swag bag they gave each attendee and told me to sell the rest to recoup the ticket and flight I paid for. All in, I netted about $2,600 after fees. So $1,000 for the ticket and about $400 for his flight to Baltimore. Would 100% pay that amount again in a heartbeat to do it a 2nd time. But at the current price of that listing? No. Going to Baltimore last year was special because he took me to a game there in 1997 to see the Mariners vs the Orioles. It was my chance to return the favor 27 years later and host him this time around.

How can one tell which base card is an image variation or a base card?

Thank you.

Agreed. Have a Jose Ramirez base card, but can’t find anything online showing this pic.

They numbered the cards the same this year, and there's no indication anywhere that the "base" and "variation" have different print runs, so... seems like we'll never know!

Kinda random question, I know but: Has anyone ever opened a case of transcendent and gotten a VIP party invitation in it? If so, did it feel like the rest of the case was weaker, i.e., did it feel like the invitation was the case hit or replaced the case hit?

Do we know if this is locked in? Are their dates set yet? I'm thinking of giving it a go. I can get to SF, but it depends on the dates. The RSVP deadline is coming up soon.
