Though I disagree with the pricing structure for these "chases", at least Nimmo is signing up to /25 which is more than usual for an auto. I miss the days of having the opportunity to purchase /49's and /100's.

Hope someone got a shot of Varsho’s backhand catch for Topps Now card!

Received shipping notice on Cardinals team set. Interesting thing I noticed was the PR on the team set - 453, is slightly less that the Arenado card - 468, from a few days ago.

Has anyone made two separate orders of the same Now card and only 1 of the 2 arrives? My 2nd had a tracking number created last week but has yet to leave Florida. Already got my first order of same card.

Not your exact scenario but I've previously ordered multiple (more than 2) copies of the same Now card and received them at different times (including some having delivered before the others were shipped out).

Got my Braves and Nationals RTOD sets in. I'm a fan of the nicer-looking parallels. I got an Austin Riley /50 and I got the booby prize of Darren Baker /50 for the Nats. I'd have much rather had Abrams be a parallel subject than Baker, who looks to have pinch-runner upside. Not every rookie needs to be a parallel. That's nitpicking though. The cards are great as always, but while I like the new parallels, I think I'll just stick to a yearly Braves set unless they make it more interesting for the $45 price tag. Upping their game on photo selection would go a long way for me. The RTOD selections are often fairly boring.

Got my Dodgers over the weekend and Cardinals today, Teoscar/99 green and Arenado/50 gold. First time I've had the parallels in hand and they look wonderful. My biggest complaint with Topps Now has been the disappointing parallels, so I'm glad they seemed to have gotten it right.

Admittedly, I'm not a big PCA fan, but I'm a little surprised he still hasn't got a card during this hot stretch of his.

I think this is the first time I've hit a parallel. Not a high value player but I collect red parallels so it goes in well with my PC.

Man these elevated multi-card pricings for anybody worth anything are a huge turnoff for me ... now the Ohtani cards are $130 for a 20 pack? So much for hoping for Ohtani parallels with $40 codes ... I think I'm down to just Twins cards as even rookies who have 1 SB and no other stats are $130 per 20 cards.

I got lucky with my one Cubs RTOD set with a Shota gold /50.

The Dodgers Road to Opening Day sold out before I found out they were on-sale, which was disappointing, the first time I've missed out on the home team.
But seeing Pittsburgh was available and I had the points for it, I decided to get one, since it seemed like with only 4 parallels, there was a good chance for a numbered Paul Skenes. If not, even the base card was fairly limited for a player that popular, and if he could somehow get the 15ks or a no-hitter during the season, that'd make for a nice bonus card limited to 760.

Obviously, I was very happy to open my lone RTOD set today and find this parallel, Skenes /10.



If I'm not mistaken, neither the Dodgers nor the Pirates have earned any bonus cards yet. I'll probably pick up the Dodger 10 card set, just to keep the run complete. It worked out pretty well in this case. If I'd seen the LA set before it sold out, I probably wouldn't have ordered the Pirates set, since I only had enough additional points for a $20 dollar coupon. Last year, I had two $40 coupons and got LA and the Reds, with the reasoning being I could get a numbered Elly (which I did, so I've had some good luck with these. I also got Ohtani as the parallel in my 2024 Dodger set). The Reds earned no bonus cards last year. The Dodgers came through with a really nice one for Shohei's 3-homer game, which is the one that created the 50/50 club.

According to topps the pope's Topps now card has passed 100k



I think that makes it the first to that tier?

Anyway they blew it on the text, should have went with "Robert Francis Prevost selected #1 overall by Cardinals"

Thousands of people gambling on pulling a 1/1 Pope Superfractor card.

6 years ago that would have sounded crazy…
