2022 Topps NOW: as we enter the Fanatics Era of Collecting

[Platman]

Dear Platinum Members,

Wednesday's schedule of games brought about another historic moment in baseball history - we've been on quite the roll here the last few days, huh?!?

Yesterday afternoon, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich completed his third career cycle during the 14-11 slugfest against the Cincinnati Reds. If the notion of hearing Yelich hit for the cycle against the Reds sounds familiar, it is because, incredibly, this is the only team he's ever had one against.

The 2018 NL MVP had two cycles against Cincinnati during that MVP season, within a span of three weeks, and he struck once again in the Queen City.

To commemorate this accomplishment, we are excited to offer up the following cards:

Christian Yelich

/49 - Autograph
/25 - Autograph
/10 - Autograph
/5 - Autograph

Please reply to this email with your reservation request by 12:00 p.m. EST and please include any alternate parallels in case lower number parallels are sold out by the time your email is received.

Thank you for your support during what has been a wild week and have a great day!
The Topps NOW team

Nice (for my wallet) to see a couple days in a row of autos I don't actually care to pick up...

[zworykin]

Up and they're nicely inexpensive..

Got the same email. Asked for a free $40 Topps Now coupon (which I used for my Tampa Bay Devil Rays set) for the inconvenience and received a 10% off coupon. I'm actually happier about the latter.

I got this too thinking it's for my 2021. 2021! RTOD Washington Nationals auto set...hmph

[fulltritty]

Mid-July for the Yankees Road to Opening Day set according to the e-mail Topps sent today.

Dear Platinum Members,

Last night, Minnesota Twins rookie shortstop Royce Lewis became just the second player in franchise history to have their first career MLB home run come way of the grand slam.

The 22-year-old's base-clearing blast in the fifth inning was the exclamation point in a nine-run fifth inning that ultimately saw his club edge past the Cleveland Guardians, 12-8. Lewis had a total of six RBI on the night, a sign of the 1st overall draft pick from the 2017 MLB Draft trending upwards at the big-league level.

To commemorate this outstanding night at the plate, we're excited to offer up the following cards:

Royce Lewis

Well, I guess Ohtani #100 is coming tomorrow...

[Platman]

Dear Platinum Members,

Last night, Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani made baseball history with his 100th career home run in a 9-1 win over the Oakland Athletics. This two-run blast wasn't just instrumental for his team's win, but it allowed him to join Babe Ruth as the only other player in baseball history to hit 100 career home runs and ring up 250 batters as a pitcher.

Furthermore, Ohtani becomes the third, and fastest ever, Japanese-born player to reach the 100-home run plateau - joining Ichiro and Hideki Matsui in the very exclusive group.

To commemorate this extraordinary achievement, we are excited to offer up the following autographed cards:

Shohei Ohtani
/99 - Autograph
/49 - Autograph
/25 - Autograph
/10 - Autograph
/5 - Autograph

Please reply to this email with your reservation request by 12:15 p.m. EST. Additionally, please include any alternate parallel selections in the case that lower numbers are sold out, as we do expect.

Thank you and have a great day!

The captcha goes from annoying to super annoying when there’s not even anything limited behind it in the first place.

I'd imagine that's almost as much of a lock as the Ohtani 100HR card was today...

[ClevelandIC]

Should the Luis Barrera have a RC logo? Or maybe the dreaded Call-Up

[stlcardboard]

any autos today?

[phreakyq]

nope. new cards are up yadi/waino and a pujols though

[stlcardboard]

was hoping for a dual auto of that card. It would be cool to be that random guy in the Waino Yadier card haha

Waino doesnt really sign much with Topps. I think he's got some old cards from his first couple years, but I dont see anything newer ever pop up. Luckily, I got tickets to an public signing hes doing in a couple weeks!

When you see him. tell him to do one last set of autos for Topps...when those 3 retire at the end of the year.

Dear Platinum Members,

In this day and age of moments going viral almost the instant they happen, we saw that very situation play out last night at Fenway Park before the Boston Red Sox hosted the Houston Astros.

World-famous DJ and baseball/trading card enthusiast Steve Aoki was tabbed for a celebrity first pitch - a great honor and one that he was very excited to help with. Maybe a little too excited?? Aoki's toss landed somewhere high up on the backstop netting - drawing laughs from Aoki and his batterymate Matt Barnes.

If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at??

To commemorate this light-hearted, yet viral moment circulating social media today, we are offering up the following cards:

Steve Aoki

I was hoping for a Contreras auto today for his 100th HR grand slam. I guess it's not that big of an achievement but I thought it was pretty cool.

A Topps Now auto that won't sell out super quick? Or am I just out of touch?

Both can be true just kidding man, I think this comes down to whether or not he tells his social media followers about it ahead of time.

For example Darius Rucker autos were like $40 on topps for the nashville stars collaboration. They sat and sat then word got around to Darius Rucker fans and bam they were gone.

These people have tons of fans, it's just a matter of getting them to look at topps and then also care about it.

Me too.

I'm not a big Willson fan but there aren't many Cubs options for TN moments these days.
