Emailed CS, they told me the Bryzzo's were not ready to ship yet.

You have to wonder, did the Bryant / Russell & Bryant / Rizzo run into problems producing the actual card at this point?

I hope Topps / Fred know, those two cards HAVE TO HAVE meaningful game used base relics, and NOT the plain white base part of the base that they shipped out with the Zobrist card (that was awful).

If they don't have the same meaningful relics we are all accustomed to seeing, I don't see how you could have a successful 2017 Topps Now program. And no one would EVER buy another high priced relic again. I'm serious. They have to get this right. Here's hoping they do.

I started wondering about that as well. There has to be some sort of issue with securing the game used bases being as all of the guys have signed their solo cards sometime ago. I think Topps knows they can't screw this up ala the Zobrist relic card given the amount of buzz these have generated. I'm thinking we are going to see some issues with these, especially the Bryant/Russell card given that that one had a /199 available. That's a lot of pieces to obtain.

And you're right...if they screw these up, no one is going to be eager to go after any relics in 2017.

I don't think two cards can derail an entire years worth of Topps Now

I would disagree. Many, many people bought these two cards with certain assumptions. If it causes them to lose financial value or trust, that would be devastating to a new program like this.

In addition, many people have spent a lot of money, and to them, the time period feels almost like a loan. I'm all for quality, so I'm 100% good waiting the needed time for quality. But if it turns out to be a long wait and we get back crappy bases, that's a huge problem. I would not feel encouraged nor excited to buy 2017 Topps Now cards or relics.

So, in my opinion, they really need to get these two right.

wilsonj12 · 02-03-2017, 03:40 PM

They seem to have run into an issue with Rizzo autos too for the WS Champions set. I've only seen /49 and /25 made available, and they all seem to have a second auto included with them. Something fishy with that and it's unlikely they met their promised odds for Rizzo.

I know probably not a lot for most, but a minimum $500 90 day (and counting) loan to Topps kinda sucks.

One could "hope" they would include other autos as a "thank you for being sooooooooooooooo patient with us", similar with what they did for the Cubs World Series sets that were delayed (came with Rizzo and another auto). I mean, at this point, I think we've all earned something for waiting this long.

It's important to note, an extra auto (or something) as a thank you for the waiting would help for the waiting. It would not help in anyway whatsoever if the base relic is crappy.

TimBuckTwo · 02-03-2017, 04:23 PM

No you are absolutely correct Bama. And the thing about it for me is if they send you a crap card you are SOL and have no recourse with your CC or through Paypal ( I am talking defective, streaky auto etc.)

You are too far past the dispute window.

Is the assumption that the relic is from one of the World Series games?

No, that was fact.

Lets not forget that a lot of us had our CC info stolen because of these purchases too

If I had to guess, the guy who stole and leaked the Correa Topps Chrome RC autos is hiding in Canada with a three row box full of Bryzzo autos.

Then hell, I'd be pissed also and now see why people will lose their minds if they include a random relic into these Bryzzo dual auto cards. Good luck to all, if they do indeed include a relic from a WS game into this dual auto card, someone hit me up, I will be a buyer. I will be looking to purchase two of them.

EDIT: put Topps now prices down for future reference for me for when these cards go live. these are for the Bryzzo I would be interested in

/25 $500
/49 $350
/99 $300

that's why I think these cards, and this card in particular, the Kris Bryant / Rizzo, DUAL AUTO, WITH a World Series Game 7 game used base relic is a generational card. It is also the BEST Advertising Topps can do for the program. Everyone in the baseball community, these forums and elsewhere will be (or should be) talking about these cards, and thus the TOPPS NOW PROGRAM,....for years.

Some may think I am delusional, and they might be right. But these cards, and this card specifically, the Bryant / Rizzo DUAL AUTO, World Series Game 7, game used base relic, to WIN THE WORLD SERIES have all the necessary components of a generational card.

I would have to agree. I will wait for them to go live to get some on ebay or here.

Well, for anyone that cares, my Nlcs */49 never arrived, they told me it was damaged at the factory and could not be replaced, so they offered me a cubs clinch the division */49 instead. I am pretty bummed.

They should've tossed in a auto card. I'm not sure why they tossed in an extra auto for slightly late Rizzos (which may all have been /49 or better), but do nothing for you.

They gave me $20 store credit and said the *49 division clinch retailed for more, but my opinion the NLCS is one of the best looking cubs cards they made. So still bummed.

Vinniebrasco · 02-03-2017, 07:21 PM

So if the NLCS */49 card of mine was destroyed in the factory should they all be */48? Be curious to see if the numbers could be tracked to see which # was destroyed.
Anyways, i really hope my bryzzo and brussel get here safe.

7-10 "Topps Business Days" ...

wilsonj12 · 02-03-2017, 07:32 PM

Maybe the reason there don't seem to be many Rizzo autos from the WS sets is that they saved them all to include with the Brussell and Bryzzo cards ...

The base, while crappy, for the Zobrist relic was from Game 7. So, they'd need to be really stupid to screw up the Bryzzo. Because all the Zobrist relics seem to have underside pieces, I wonder if they got two bases and were able to give good pieces for all the Bryzzos?

All bases for WS relics seem to be second base. They never spell out what innings in the authentication program though. Do they use the same base the whole game in the World Series? I'd think they swap those things out every inning for the money.
