The choice can depend on how they perform in the rest of the series, but I would guess below.

Rays : Arozarena, Lowe, Snell (or Morton if he bounces back on Game 7)

LAD : Seager, Bellinger, Buehler (Will Smith, Max Muncy, Dustin May, and maybe even Joc Pederson could be in the mix, but I think the other 3 have earned their spot already)

For the World Series Champions set they come out with? Those usually have 5-7 autographs available. Nats had 6 cards last year.

[Fsegaud]

I got a tracking # for the Yankees post season set (no auto).

I just got a shipping confirmation for my 4 Auto Postseason White Sox sets, thought I wouldn’t see these till after the new year.

Speaking specifically of the base relic/3 auto card for the winning team.

For the Dodgers, I'd like to see:

Dave Roberts, Manager card autographed

Magic Johnson, 2% Team Owner card autographed

Corey Seager - The probable MVP


I'd predict we'd realistically see (based on being prolific signers for Topps):

Corey Seager

Cody Bellenger

Max Muncy


Who deserves to be featured (so, it would be nice to get a player who hasn't already been featured on a 2020 Topps Now autographed card if possible

Corey Seager

Joc Pederson

Max Muncy

Justin Turner

Will Smith

Cody Bellinger

Mookie Betts

Buehler

Kershaw

Urias

[Joliet Jake]

Does anyone know if a specific team is featured on the Andre Dawson card for Player's Choice Awards set, or if it's the MLB batterman since he's retired? Thank you.

[okumeister]

I suspect that the Dodgers WS Champion set (including autograph versions) will go up on the website tonight.
Wonder who the auto subjects will be.

This was kind of a dull ending though, and bitter ending especially with that Snell pull.
Game 4 was the best game out of the series.

[okumeister]

Nevermind...
It's already up on the website lol

I'm a Topps Now Set Rookie...

So, for the Dodgers WS Team Sets, there's 2 tiers

Standard at $50 w/ 15 card set
Autographed at $100 w/ 15 card set + autograph card (16 cards)

Does Topps differentiate between the 2 sets, so when they release the archive print runs for each set, and let's say it's 5,000 standard that sells and 3,000 autograph sets that sell... are they the same sets, so in fact it's a 8,000 print run for the 15 card team set (not factoring in all of the parallel crash numbered variants seeded)?

Or are the sets different by design, like a premium set for the autograph set and a standard set for the lower price?

That's a lot of autographs with 7 players that doesn't have Betts or Kershaw as signers.

I wonder if you truly do have to order all 7 sets to get the Seager card guaranteed and if you order 3 sets, the odds are you'll get the less desired players. Has anyone every bought a set from an offering with many player possibilities and struck gold with a good player autograph?

Thanks for any input. I'm contemplating ordering a set right now.

[okumeister]

The 15 base cards from both auto/non-auto sets are the same.
In the past, Topps have released a separate 20 card(?) set with different images, but not seeing them do that this time around, though they might still issue it tomorrow or something.

And I've seen people pull good players with just one or few sets.
But just remember, if there are people pulling the more desirable players with only few packs, there are others also purchasing few sets who gets the short end of the stick.

[okumeister]

I'll definitely try to get a Seager auto (or auto relic) tomorrow.

Thanks for the info on the sets.

I'm sure tomorrow 10/28 will have Topps selling "Game 6 Highlights" singles and sets as well as autos of Cory and Randy plus some relic. At least my opportunity to spend is ending for 2020 in Baseball cards ...'tho the post-season awards will conjure up nice Topps Now cards I'm sure to end the season.

[packbusta]

Got an auto set, but waiting to see tomorrow's offering. Seager and Bellinger in the Road to Postseason auto set. May and Smith were in the RTOD auto sets.

Give me Bullpen cards-- Floro, Baez, Gonzalez, Graterol, Urias, Wood. What a game!

It's a 10-card set I believe.

Dear Platinum Members,

For the first time since 1988, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the champions of the baseball world!

The Dodgers overcame an early 1-0 deficit and a brilliant start by Rays pitcher Blake Snell by riding out some big at-bats, getting some clutch hits and shutdown pitching from their bullpen all night long. The 3-1 Game 6 victory provides the franchise with the seventh title in its 137-year history.

Shortstop Corey Seager was named the MVP after hitting .400 with two home runs and six RBI in six games. He becomes the eighth player in MLB history to win MVP honors in both the LCS and WS in the same season.

​Wrapping up what has been a magical postseason run, Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena extended his home run total to 10 with a first inning solo blast, giving Tampa Bay an early 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old rookie finished the 2020 postseason with a record 29 hits and 10 home runs.

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

Los Angeles Dodgers
# to 99 - Relic (Base)
# to 49 - Relic (Base)
# to 25 - Relic (Base)
# to 10 - Relic (Base)
# to 5 - Relic (Base)

Corey Seager
# to 25 - Autograph Relic (Base)
# to 10 - Autograph Relic (Base)
# to 5 - Autograph Relic (Base)

Randy Arozarena
# to 10 - Autograph Relic (Ball)
# to 5 - Autograph Relic (Ball)

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

Best Regards,

The Topps NOW team

UPDATED 134am EST

Thank you all for your early responses - I want to let you all know that Randy's autographed relics numbered to /10 and /5 are both sold out and Corey's /5 is sold out as well.

Wow, only 39 Corey Seager auto relics in total...
It's gonna get eaten up by Plats reserve.

Guess I'll just have to settle for the team card base relic /99.

[packbusta]

Dear Topps, it's okay to not put out another Arozarena relic.

[CardBoardPaul]

That’s it. Seriously?

That was my thought as well. Kind of a weak offering for a clinching game compared to years past. No double or triple auto relics, no booklets, etc.

[okumeister]

Yeah, this is very disappointing.
No dual, triple autos, and very small number of offering for Seager.

[eldavojohn]

Well, I bought three of the autograph edition team sets just now, liked the checklist (though it says subject to change):

Subject List *subject to change*

• Team Card
• Walker Buehler (Autograph Subject)
• Dustin May (Autograph Subject)
• Will Smith (Autograph Subject)
• Max Muncy (Autograph Subject)
• Corey Seager (Autograph Subject)
• Cody Bellinger (Autograph Subject)
• A.J. Pollock (Autograph Subject)
• Mookie Betts
• Clayton Kershaw
• Joc Pederson
• Chris Taylor
• Justin Turner
• Austin Barnes
• Julio Urias

Lotta promising talent on this dodgers team. Too bad Betts, Kershaw and Pederson aren't signers but there aren't many duds in this one.

Kind of weak when the Nat had all sorts of goodies last year...THE NATS of all teams, LOL...booklets, triple autos, etc. ...many different offerings once they won.

Perhaps these pandemic times kept Topps on cruise control...such a shame if true. Not a single dual auto during this post season.

No Kershaw available during this playoff run was disappointing since he seemed to be under contract for quite a few years...really bad timing! A Kershaw/Buehler dual auto would have been special.

Oh well...I secured the 7 autos in the WS set...maybe try for the Dodger relic /99...Seager up to only /25 sucks (should be 99 even if no relic) and Arozarena again is overkill despite his accomplishment of getting into double digits in HR.

Topps needs to keep it fresh...sign Betts to a contract please.

Lets hope for a healthy 2021 and a Cubs World Series Championship.

I would imagine these players are so through with covid protocol that the last thing they want is to be contractually obligated to sit around and sign cards.

The 7 auto set gaurantee is a great deal. $700 for a gauranteed Seager and Bellinger? If you broke a case of any Topps product for $700 you'd never see those two autos together. If I were a dodgers fan, I'd be all over it. Heck at $100 price point, they might go through all 1,323 auto edition sets!

I think the overkill on Arozarena is on purpose ... gotta jump while the iron is hot.

There were enough Dodger fans that agree...autos are GONE!

The post season set was an even better deal getting Belli/Seager for $90/set without extra fluff (I do like the fluff though). It just won’t say World Champions.
