2024 Topps Now - MLB - Page 8

Has anything been determined on the SP image variation regarding the frequency? I've seen them for quite a few cards, but wasn't sure if there was an SP for every card or not.

MLBPA gets a fee for all players. Only things negotiable are auto deals.

Topps is just trolling us now:

NFL draft cards are 8.99 for a single, but $129.99 for a 20 pack.

You know, it just occurred to me - since I've stopped buying, I've also stopped updating my spreadsheet/tracker of all the auto/relic offerings. Just figured I'd post a link if anyone wants to make a copy and take over tracking for this season and onward. If nobody else is that crazy, all good.

Oh ok thanks I missed that. I swear is this new this year with them showing the SP image variation? I didn't think they showed what the pic would be before release last year.

Yep, I don't recall them doing it at all last year. Of course last year there were only a handful of them, while now it seems like they're doing an SP for half the cards. (But, to be clear, they're not always showing them, either.)

txrngr34 · 04-26-2024, 05:25 PM

Admittedly, I'm not a big PCA fan, but for a milestone rookie card in my team's uniform, I was hoping for a decently priced auto or relic.

At $150, which isn't terrible, I passed because of the horrible choice of photography. If they at least put a swing shot on the back, I would've jumped on it.

It's sold out now, so I'm sure this post will fall on deaf Topps ears, but I - for whatever reason - still feel like they need to hear feedback from us.

Edit: I'm also passing on buying the base.

Shota Imanaga 5 starts... 4 Topps Now cards. Foil variation included today.

A Japanese star is a cash cow for them. Big market doesn't hurt either.

I got a 1/5 card for the Graham Pauley first hit/first HR! I ordered 20 and it was packed in it's own holder and Topps Now pack. I hadn't had that before, I even got 2 parallels for another card this year and they both were in the main case of 20. I wasn't sure if that was new, or just something they do for x/5 and 1/1 cards?

Might be new.

As recently as last year, I received all my /5 reds within the same slider/snap as the base.

And during the 2022 season I received my only randomly inserted TN 1/1 within the same slider/snap as the base.

When did they remove free shipping for singles?

I think it was early October when prices generally went up...note shipping charges go away if you buy 2 base cards (same card or different base cards).

Got my Cardinals team set yesterday, Walker/10.
Got my Dodgers team set today, Ohtani/99. Pretty happy with that.

They used a really good picture, I agree.

Ohtani PC off to a nice start this season.

If Bee Guy doesn't get a card, there's no point to continuing this franchise

That's incredible. I heard about the delay last night but never followed up to see what happened. Getting this out of principal. Plus I love collecting wacky stuff like this. Couldn't have gotten a bee suit relic card?

That's hilarious, saw that last night and thought it'd make a great card. This guy looks like a model too, where did they dig up a bee expert like him so fast lol. Autos, short prints, they got this guy for everything, I'm surprised there's no bee keeper suit relic. This is the dumbest card I want to order 20 of.

Zeldafanatic15 · 05-01-2024, 03:16 PM

Just realized auto versions will be randomly inserted. Hugame?

Edit - I did see some people say this is not the first time this has happened at the stadium, so I'm sure they've got this guy on speed dial in case of emergencies. LOL

I wish they at least inset a picture of the bees themselves.

Same, but they are on the SP.

I missed that. That's something, at least. Still would've preferred it on the base and maybe make the autos and SPs that Hilton dude.
