Topps NOW! is out. Yay. - Page 418

Orange October · 01-03-2017, 11:41 AM

I'm kind of interested in what (if anything) Topps might do about these streaky autos. I mean, these are pretty high dollar cards and it will definitely make these buyers who are spending good amounts of money with Topps Now more apprehensive in the future to drop big dollars on autographed cards.

Someone had asked about the typo on the back of the Zobrist card in the Cubs WS Team set (refers to Zobrist as Rizzo). Here's the response from their support team:

"Someone should have proofread what was being written before the cards were printed. Unfortunately, we are not responsible for typographical/ printer errors. Once the cards are printed, everything is final. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We have forwarded your email to the proper department. "

Is "proper department" perhaps the sanitation department?

Not very thick, card is probably 140pt I'm guessing, Base is barely touching the window

Ouch, that sucks....wonder how many pieces they can get out of 1 base?

mlbexpert · 01-03-2017, 02:15 PM

Received my Schwarber /49 auto relic today (I've been out of town).
And was really happy with it! Center of the base! Can't hope for more from a /49.

IowaCubs1 · 01-03-2017, 03:11 PM

So the Topps Now PL cards were listed 31 Dec so still wondering if there will be a new look for the new year. I think the way these are being issued there wouldn't be much change. Maybe adding 2017 to the front or under the logo.

I thought you weren't buying any of those anymore.

No have yet to move one and don't think I will any time soon. Perhaps if the PRs drop more and sellers come on to the US market but I don't see it happening. I'm buying up some lower printed baseball off of eBay to bulk up my 2016 collection. Sad to say it but there are several cards I have less then 20 of...

THAT is something I never would have imagined

Have you done any more grading?

Not yet, haven't had the time. As soon as I am finished my mass inventory (tonight or so), I will be selecting and sending off the 47 I need to finish/upgrade the #1-#200 cards. Then wait until the final relics and autographs come in.

There's an even worse mistake on the back of the Nats division clinch relic - it says the base was collected from Nationals Park. The game was at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The holo checks out fine, though.

Have you seen the guy "sportsphilanthropist" on eBay? He has some really nice 10 black pristines. Is he on the forum? He owns some nice cards.

Now that we are past Christmas and refund time is around the corner... I'm curious if that will play a part in the coming weeks. Plus Spring Training in a few weeks. These might disappear.

I got my Cubs team set autos today.

Pulled:

/49 Willson Contreras auto
/199 Albert Almora auto

I was initially disappointed I didn't pull a Bryant, but realized it's the only Almora auto from the World Series. And I like this Contreras WS auto way more than the parade version I bought (so going to sell the parade version now).
