Most cards are going to be worth less than what you paid for them. Just like every other modern card issue.

ok...

This is what I think as well. No one that understands and follows the program is going to pay $10 for one card when they have purchased them for $5 or less from multiple sellers in the past. I can't see any interest in these cards at $10 each. If it had an individual serial number, possibly, but even then $10 is a lot of money for one modern card that is printed to demand. How many people actually want a card after it is printed to demand? Less than 10? Less than 5?

It's when a 24 hour window becomes a 1-week window, that in the final day becomes a 2-week window, that really gets to me and makes me question the integrity of the brand, among other things. I've been patient, and my patience is all but gone.

My opinions and suggestions are meant to be constructive, as negative as they seem.

Was actually directing it at all of US...even I blow up on blowout. Not going to keep people from vomiting up about how these are never going to be worth anything so I don’t know why I even try. I’m passionate about these and being the only guy selling certain cards gets me those $1000 sales...so maybe most of you don’t think highly of these and their long term value but some do and those are the people negativity chases away, so if you want something that is worth nothing...keep preaching doom and gloom on here as people scare away easier then getting them hooked on this sweet product. Basically we are destroying what we are trying to sell. As for no value many 2019 sell crazy high already...you all watch the sales yes 80% are just $5 pre sales but plenty sell for much more...but you are never going to get rich on this...enjoy yourself, collect what you like and it will be a worth wild investment unless we continue to say it won’t be...that is a sure way of insuring it will fail.

It would be easy for Topps to keep me from being negative...Simply do the right thing.

Just like last night's mess up...Admit your mistake and make everyone happy, even if it costs you another card or more autographs.

I would bet if you started admitting your mistakes while at the same time "making them right", less mistakes would happen, the customer base would grow faster, and loyal customers would stop reducing their spending.

1. fix the website and make it secure
2. fix the website and make it secure
3. fix the website and make it secure
4. focus on quality of offerings not quantity of offerings
5. eliminate bulk discounts...everybody pays same price.
6. actually pack out the 1/1 cards on the on demand products.
7. when on demand cards or versions of cards arent made/packed out say so on checklist

There that is a start. I doubt they do any of it.

besides Vlad/Alonso?

Some card images showing up when searching "2019 Topps Now" and sorting from "Newest".
But they all show as "out of stock" now.
Maybe this is their way to hold the product until having the official start of clock running.

okumeister · 07-09-2019, 02:58 PM

$749.99 for the cheapest Alonso/Vladdy dual...
The hobby is insane!

Great image of Pete on both his single auto and dual auto with Vlad though.

Where are you seeing these listed??

MMantle · 07-09-2019, 03:05 PM

Expensive stuff! Auto's are insane! Relics with no auto's don't interest me.

Type in "2019 Topps Now" in the search box, and sort the listings by either "Newest" or "Release Date".

I think that's just how Topps is holding the products until ready to sell them.
The cards don't show up yet on the official Topps Now product page yet.
And there is no way all the #/49s are reserved by Plats, while I can understand some of the /10s and /5s.

guru · 07-09-2019, 03:11 PM

I just got an Alonso sock relic blue /49

okumeister · 07-09-2019, 03:12 PM

You can actually add some items to the cart already though.
For example, the Pete Alonso sock relics.

You’re right cause everything showing unlocked for me now

gamboooler · 07-09-2019, 03:16 PM

Autograph overload. So what was the point of buying the base cards for the /50 autograph if there was going to be a champion auto available to everyone? Is it going to be chrome or something?

The fact that you have found buyers who will pay you $1000 for a card they could buy on ebay for $10 or $20 is kudos to you.

I can't believe you found people that would rather pay you than buy on ebay for a fraction, but again, all power to you.

One guy selling cards for $1000 when everyone else can't get $20 is not a healthy marketplace.

fevstat · 07-09-2019, 03:17 PM

Thanks! Didn't realize you could search that way.

I find it funny we just had 3 pages of complaints about how Topps runs this program, yet people are trying to find whatever way they can to backdoor themselves through the website into buying a sock square for $120.

Topps hopefully knows this message board is like 2% of the collecting public and 99% of the hobby complaints.

Everything will sell out again, and there is no need to put extra effort into making changes.

TASS · 07-09-2019, 03:20 PM

So they ae not selling any base cards without auto's??
