Thank you,

Hello everyone,

Just an update that the Randy Arozarena autographed relic card numbered to 5 has sold out.

Thank you for your emails this morning,

Ugh, no chance to see the Phillips baseball relic /10...
I probably could have asked someone in Facebook group to reserve it for me, but wanted to see the price first.
Guess I'll just settle for Arozarena auto /99 (hoping it's in the range of $149-$199) and a base card of Phillips.

I'm pretty sure Topps would have made bunch of Phillips auto for this occasion if they were able to.

Good point. You may be right.

I was just looking at it from the $$$ aspect of the corporation. Kinda like the networks wanting the Dodgers/Yankees etc.

[TimBuckTwo]

Quick question. Were there COTM produced this year?

[okumeister]

Cards up.
Arozarena /99 is $149.99

Yes, but Topps seemingly made it a well-kept secret.

Well in my stupidity I redeemed 2000 points for it and it debited my account but didn't show as an order placed. Plus I probably missed out on the first three months etc.

Noticed that Arozarena actually has 2 base cards today.
One is the same one used for the auto relic.
The other is him sliding into home plate. Back of that card is awesome with him stumbling around lol

[okumeister]

Arozarena 1/1 for $999 doesn't seem like a bad deal when the /10 was priced as being $499.
His /10, /5, and 1/1 are sold out.

I secured a /99.

EDIT : /99 also sold out now. Feels like I should've bought 2.

Ya I just got my Luis Robert card for August. Just arrived on Friday (I'm in Canada). I also just got a shipment notification for the September one, not sure what it is though

I thought I saw that it was Bauer.

I thought the COTM was automatic for HOF members. Was not going to lose any points for those though. The cards are not really that special.

[okumeister]

Please Topps, not another Arozarena auto for breaking the record.
I do not wish to spend any more money on Arozarena autos, until maybe if he does something special in a series winning game (and that is if the Rays win).

[16Cubs]

They’re going to Soto Arozarena for all they can get.

Still a little salty about that one totally unnecessary WS Auto relic from last year.

[okumeister]

Topps gotta get Kershaw to sign.

Apologies if not allowed in this thread but is anyone doing pre-sells of the Player's Choice Awards Cards? Nothing is showing up on eBay which is somewhat surprising. I'm interested in the Kyle Lewis but not wanting to shell $60 for one card.

Joe May is pre-selling singles from that set on his Facebook group "Topps Now B/S/T by Joe May".
He has the price of Kyle Lewis at $10, and $7 each for the other players.

He is also on this forum with handle name Joejoemay.
Maybe you can reach out to him, though not sure if that's a deal he is keeping only within the FB group.

Hello! I accidentally clicked onto that Card of the Month for the Season button because I though it was "Free" but found out it cost 2,000 points and it sent me a code to "enter at your next purchase" which I assume activates it.

I tried to ask folks here about the protocol, but never got an answer.

I was wondering if you don't redeem it do the points revert? Can you call Topps to reinstate the points and cancel? If you do buy it, since the 2020 season is over, would the "Year/Season" then begin with 2021? (or would Topps give you the entire year of 2020 that's already been released?)

Ultimately, since I didn't know what to do, I tried to redeem the offer with the code they gave me and it said it was invalid (and my points were not adjusted back up by 2,000) so I'm not sure if it automatically signed me up or I let too much time lapse and basically lost the points and the offer.

I'd love to know what you know and are doing. If I find out something, I'll post it up too for you. THANKS!

[vinbots]

I did that last year. You have to put the card of the month in your cart and then redeem the code. But good luck finding the card of the month to put in your cart. I called earlier this year and they put the two thousand points back in my account because the code would not work this year since I redeemed it last year. So they gave me my 2000 points back and told me to redeem it again if I wanted it this year.

Dear Platinum Members,

Sunday night's World Series action saw the Dodgers swing momentum back their way, and they are now one win away from clinching their first championship since 1988.

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw put together another solid postseason outing, striking out six over 5 2/3 innings of work. With those half-dozen whiffs, Kershaw has passed Justin Verlander for the most career postseason strikeouts by a pitcher, sitting now at 207.

Clayton was also in the middle of a very important play in the bottom of the fourth inning with runners on the corners and two outs. Rays outfielder Manny Margot broke for home, looking to channel his inner Jackie Robinson with the straight steal, but the Dodgers foiled the attempt perfectly and the rally was squashed.

A bright moment for the Rays was another record falling to the feet of Randy Arozarena. A third inning RBI single gave the outfielder the all-time hits mark in a single postseason. The hits keep coming for this rookie standout!

We are going to commemorate these moments with the following autographed relics. Here are the cards available:

Clayton Kershaw
# to 99 - Relic (Base)
# to 49 - Relic (Base)
# to 25 - Relic (Base)
# to 10 - Relic (Base)
# to 5 - Relic (Base)

Steal of Home play
# to 10 - Ball Relic
# to 5 - Ball Relic

Randy Arozarena
# to 25 - Autograph Relic (Base)
# to 10 - Autograph Relic (Base)
# to 5 - Autograph Relic (Base)

Please reply by 12:00 pm EST if you want to reserve any of these cards.

Best Regards,

The Topps NOW team

I guess this proves that Topps won't be getting Kershaw to sign anything for the remainder of 2020.
Yesterday's game and there was another game earlier in the Postseason (forgot which game) that he should have gotten the autograph treatment, but not seeing it happen for both occasions.
He signed some on-card stuff for 2020 products, so this sucks.

On the positive news, the lack of auto will provide opportunity for people to obtain the base relic piece for an affordable price (hopefully).
I think Topps did the best they could in this situation.

However, with the recent offerings of base relic autos upto /25 (Arozarena in this case) + separate offering of the "usual" /99 (Kershaw in this case), I'm afraid that some of the /99 relic pieces will turn out to be the less desirable flat pieces.

[mlbfan10]

Agreed

Topps posted something similar on their Twitter account, but here is the story of Game 4 bottom of the 9th told in 3 Topps Now cards.

Thanks for the information and advice. I'm going to contact (hope calling C/S is easy!) to rectify my situation and cancel that Card of the Month redemption to reinstate my 2,000 points.

Another big problem is that aside from the July offering, you can’t order the COTM after they announce what it is!

[okumeister]

Cards are up.
