2020 Topps NOW - Page 45

joejoemay · 09-24-2020, 03:48 PM

Don't let my post let anyone think I am complaining...just wondering about how and when to buy to give me the best shot at those sweet gold ones of my Phillies.

joejoemay · 09-24-2020, 03:49 PM

Wow PR's up already way to go Topps!

hzw5wi · 09-24-2020, 04:04 PM

Great, the PR is low with 330. PR of the checklist is 215, so that it comes down to 115 cards ordered individually. Hopefully most of the 90 parallels end up in the individual orders. Not sure if I ever got a parallel out of a multi card bundle but the specials (OD, PS, PW) btw. Did at least 5 last and 2 this year with nothing at all.

I'm not upset by how it's going, I'm doing well enough but that guys hit (a 1/1 and 1/5 with two others in a 20 buy) is crazy lucky.

It is lucky for one to be that person but it's not statistically odd at all. How many people do you think bought 20 cards of that release? A ton.

Any speculation of time of purchase having an effect on distribution is likely just confirmation bias.

I quite liked the Washington Nationals Card with the Gatorade type shower, and its had a low print run circa 360, but I couldn’t pull the trigger given there isn’t a huge amount to celebrate when they haven’t qualified. It just felt a bit underwhelming as an event card.

I couldn't decide between 20x of the twins cards and 3x of sets. Glad I went with 3x of sets.

Not complaining, happy to get the 19/25 but posting to show it’s not totally random. I also thought I’d get 5 20 card boxes like the smaller orders I’ve gotten in the past. Got 3 with 25, 1 with 24, and a separate box with the 19/25.
Packers are in charge,
Vinny

PS: sold 80 so the rest are pretty much profit

the packing slip has the picture of the parallel (blue for example), so the packer is just picking the next parallel off the stack, writing in the number (#4/49) for the line with the picture of the blue parallel. Of course, the packer can still goon it up, but then the packing slip doesn't match the cards received.

Interesting, I didn’t look that close.
Thanks,

Didn’t realize that the Braves set sold out already.

As much as they love first HR cards, that one really baffled me. I was disappointed MLS Now didn't get a card when St. Louis City was announced, I figured that'd be a lock.

I could see Yadi 2000 hits even getting auto treatment, but I guess we just have to wait and see...

okumeister · 09-25-2020, 01:21 PM

Underwhelming image on that Yadi card.

okumeister · 09-25-2020, 01:23 PM

Joliet Jake · 09-25-2020, 01:27 PM

I was hoping Rowdy Tellez would be included in the Toronto team set, but with him likely to miss the first round of the postseason, I can understand the exclusion.

tolrobb · 09-25-2020, 01:46 PM

i would get the blue jays set but i'm fresh out of coupons lol

Zeldafanatic15 · 09-25-2020, 05:05 PM

Finally happened, got a Topps Now parallel! Figured I'd have a good shot with the low print run, but forgot it replaces the base version, and I only ordered one. Oops. Also August COTM. Could be a nice one to have being a Luis RC.

I hope Topps was ready to release a postseason set for the Marlins lol

This is the first season with parallels

cavsfan70 · 09-26-2020, 03:25 PM

Got a Jays and Padres auto set. Wanted my Indians but didn’t see them.

I’ve yet to hit a parallel since buying topps now cards this year. Still holding out hope.
