2022 Topps NOW: as we enter the Fanatics Era of Collecting

[DetroitTN]

Can Topps stop scratching the piss out of the Now cards? Almost every one I bought are covered in surface scratches like my childhood cards I'd take to school

[eastbayak]

Anyone just get a free TN card?

I got 2022 MLB TOPPS NOW Bonus Card ODB-14 - Isaac Paredes -3-HR in one game - Tampa Bay Rays but I didn't order it.

Did you order a TB Rays RtoD set? If so, that's part of the fun.

Thanks elda!

Yup. Someone cleared it up for me in the other forum. Didn't realize we get freebies but I'll take them haha.

They're a pretty rare treat but they have a gold hue I kinda enjoy. From the RtoD listings:

Purchasers of this set have the chance to win TOPPS NOW® bonus cards. The following milestones trigger an exclusive bonus card(s) order over the course of the 2022 Season (Opening Day through World Series)
• Team is in 1st place in the division at MLB All-Star break
• Team's pitcher throws a no-hitter or perfect game
• Team's player hits for cycle
• Team's pitcher throws 15 Ks in a game
• Team's player hits 3 HRs in a game
• Team's player hits a 500+ ft. Home Run

Here's what they look like:

Oh sweet, I do like the look of the gold hue.

Reminds me of Fleer Ultra Gold Medallion.

Does anyone in this thread have an ear of someone at Topps? The Topps Now Print Runs haven't been updated in quite sometime. Still missing info all the way back to the 200's and we just hit the 400's?

I received my 6 Tampa orders yesterday and the shipping receipt stated the box contained my 6 Tampa teams sets and my 6 Tampa Auto components, which was also stated on the email I received a few days earlier stating my package was on its way. Oh no....Instead, I received 12 Tampa team sets. One of the team sets 100% had the sticker wrapping partially peeled back on the top and bottom and you could see the fingernail marks. After reading about your experience and seeing this first hand, I had to open all 12. As suspected, not 1 Wander parallel, only 1 parallel numbered under 49 (Glasnow /10), Arozarena /49, Lowes /49, Baz /49, McClanahan /49 and a lot of hot garbage.

It appears Topps has made some serious errors with this year's RTOD sets.

Yes, as expected based on many posts in this thread. If you haven't already received the "we need half of them back" email, I'd assume you will soon. Rough luck on the parallels, sorry to hear.

Glad I went with the Pirates set instead of the Rays. Pulled an Oneil Red /10!

Looks like we got second hand TB sets that were already picked over...

i got my Cubs RTOD sets and they had no evidence of being opened, but I had similar luck on parallels....only 1 red, and the rest purple.

I got an email but I haven't even been sent the return envelope. When I returned my Pucket /70 parallels that were accidentally issued, I think I got a Fedex envelope from fedex delivered to me that I just dropped them in. No such thing yet for these sets ...

Dear Platinum Members,

History was made at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon, as the Houston Astros pulled off a combined no-hitter to defeat their hosts by the score of 3-0.

Astros starter Cristian Javier took on the lion's share of the innings and was outstanding through every frame. The 25-year-old righthander allowed just one walk while striking out 13 Yankees batters across seven innings - the first ever double-digit strikeout performance of his three-year career.

Javier then handed the ball over to relivers Hector Neris and Ryan Pressly - who both fired hitless innings to secure the 14th no-hitter in Astros history. If this sounds somewhat familiar - the last time the Yankees were no-hit was back in 2003 on a combined no-hitter by, you guessed it, the Astros. Before that, the Yankees were last no-hit back in 1952 by Virgil Trucks of the Detroit Tigers.

To commemorate this outstanding individual performance that contributed to a historic victory, we are excited to offer up the following cards:

Cristian Javier
/99 - Autograph card
/49 - Autograph card
/25 - Autograph card
/10 - Autograph card
/5 - Autograph card

Please reply to this email with your reservation requests by 11:30 a.m. EST

Thank you and have a great day!
The Topps NOW team

I'm not sure, all I can do is provide you the email I received and I only recevied one email despite getting many duplicate sets:

Subject: Action Needed: MLB Topps NOW® Road To Opening Day Sets Jun 17, 2022, 3:38 PM (10 days ago)

Dear Topps Customer,

This email is regarding your order for a MLB Topps NOW® Road To Opening Day 16-Card Team Set.

It has come to our attention that an additional base card set was sent to you in error in place of the autographed component. Your autographed component will ship as scheduled, but will be under a new order that we will generate for you. You will receive the order confirmation for this over the next several days.

We need the duplicate base set(s) sent back to our team. A return envelope with a prepaid label will be sent to you in the next few days. Please return the extra base set(s) and we will apply a $25 store credit to your Topps.com account as a thank you in return once we receive the duplicate sets.

We apologize for the error on our end and thank you for your cooperation in returning the cards to us.

Thank you again,
The Topps Team

I still have not received the return envelope.

Anyone receive their Cardinals RTOD set? I purchased the autograph edition but received only the base cards...which is fine but in previous years the invoice had a sticker or statement the autograph card would follow. This package did not. I did pull a 1/1 though!

Just received the White Sox RTOD set without any notice of my auto card. Did get a /25 Eloy.

Congrats on the 1/1! Who was it? I'm hoping for a nice parallel or two out of my three sets.

Received one of my 5 cardinals sets, not sure why only one shipped. Arenado blue /49 was my parallel.

Was hoping for my PC guy Carlson!

Awesome! I'm excited to receive my sets. I'm hoping Yadi signs his cards a little quicker than he did last year.
