Default Topps NOW Road To Opening Day Autograph Collector Packs

I assume these are slightly overpriced because they know people are gonna dump their rewards points into them...

My calculation is 7,500 total packs. Autos are "on card" and Ohtani is in it. So it'll have demand.

Topps Now Road To Opening Day Autograph Collector's Packs

Thoughts on this?

Even with a $40 off coupon, it was an easy pass.

Ohtani autos will likely be limited and I can't imagine more demand for a second-year Dodgers auto than a first-year one.

Not to mention, I'd like to assume there's other products (or soon-to-be) that offer (or will offer) a shot at Ohtani autos for less, along with a higher floor.

Way overpriced IMHO, if they were $100ish it might be worth it but they are not team specific and you get 8 random rtod cards which just seems odd

Agreed, I did use some $40 off codes on some Dodgers team sets though. Makes them roughly $8 for me. Cheap shot at a decent parallel and the Dodgers bonus cards were good last year.

Quick question. You can only use 1 code per order correct? If using multiple, you have to do multiple orders?

Yes. I bought 2 and just placed two separate orders.

Problem is, there is absolutely nothing else i'd want to use my points for. Got 3 packs each w/ a $40 discount.

Anyone know how I can stack 4 $40 coupons? Otherwise, pass.

Best,

Even with this mediocre rookie class, you have to admit this is a pretty good checklist of autos however — Ohtani, Judge, Harper, Yamamoto, Elly, Skenes, Acuna, Gunnar, Witt, Crews, Wood, Trout, Chourio, Langford

Couldn't pull the trigger on the auto pack at the price even with a coupon. Did grab 1 team set but not the Dodgers

Grabbed 5 teams sets for $8.50 each. I'll settle for that.

Might be crazy but bought 6 auto packs and soon thereafter they were Sold Out. There’s a decent auto list and I’m intrigued by the gold foil cards /25 in each pack. Also, Sasaki RC is in the team sets and gold foils so there’s that longshot hope.
We shall see,

I bought one. Better odds for spiking an Ohtani auto than most products

Tried to use my 258000 rewards points to buy 64 dodgers sets. System cancelled almost all of my orders (except 10). I also lost the rewards points on the orders that were cancelled. I am sure I can call Topps and get the rewards points added back. But I have no idea what I am going to use them on. Was really hyped to unload those points one by one on Dodgers Team Sets.

Think there is a 10 order limit - how long it takes to reset I'm not sure. 24 hours?

Well, you could sell $40 off coupons for $20 per (54 x $20 => $1080).

If your issue gets resolved soon, I can order 10 sets for you as long as you cover the $3 per shipping costs.

$3 shipping for my base set.

Probably free shipping after exceeding a certain threshold.

There's a price threshold on free shipping now, I think it's $20.
