Picked up a Red Sox set and a Dodgers set.

Nats are off the board.

Dodgers gone too. 3980 sets if going by the parallels currently advertised.

PoPCulture · 03-18-2025, 07:42 AM

Meanwhile, all of the sets with a 190 set print run are still available.

Checkout is the final page you half-wit, hope that helps

I've now had 7 different orders canceled on TN RTOD sets. I've emailed Customer service every time and they have responded telling me it's fixed every time - still can't order. What a mess their website has been!

I had the same issue and had to call them + get my topps now points back. Their fraud prevention doesn't like multiple orders quickly in a row.

Same issue for me on cancelled orders and saying it was fixed. Auto packs, Dodgers, Nats sold out when I tried again.

Has anyone seen any previews for what the parallels look like? I noticed they changed the language for parallels, for example here is 2024's language:

Quote:

• Black Parallel - #'d to /99

• Blue Parallel - #'d to /49

• Purple Parallel - #'d to /25

• Red Parallel - #'d to /10

• Orange Parallel - #'d to /5

• Gold Parallel - #'d to /1

Win Bonus Cards!

For 2025 I see language that uses the word "foil" which I'm not sure if that just refers to the numbering? If so confusing adding it to the color and for every card:

Quote:

/99 Green Foil
/50 Gold Foil
/25 Orange Foil
/10 Black Foil
/5 Red Foil
1/1 FoilFractor

Earn Bonus Cards!

The language reminds me of the language used in 2024's autograph packs that had a "gold foil" in each pack:

Quote:

• (1) Gold Foil Parallel Card #'d to /24 (Autograph Collector Pack Exclusive)

Which looked like this:

I wonder if they're changing how the parallels look and feel this year?

bub838 · 03-18-2025, 12:05 PM

The gold /24's were nice last year, slightly thicker stock if I remember correctly.

Definitely thicker. There is a pic of the '25 version if you shuffle through the photos in the auto pack page. Looks like a little more gold used? Should be nice.

Yikes right out of the gate we're "LOOKIN' FOR RELICS"

Major League Baseball - 2025 MLB Topps NOW® - Card 1 - LOOK FOR RELICS
Yoshinobu Yamamoto / Shota Imanaga - 2025 MLB Topps NOW® - Card 2 - LOOK FOR DUAL-RELICS

gunnerpei · 03-18-2025, 03:28 PM

Yeah I think the “Look For” will become the norm moving forward, unfortunately. I’m glad I got some decent autos/relics when the Topps Now program was less of a lottery system…

Yeah I was just stoked for a card #1 @ $8.99 like last year was 1 Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Dodgers - Collects 1st Hit and 1st RBI in 2-Hit Dodgers Debut

Sure, over printed but what a great iconic card to kick it off ... instead we are going straight to lottery tickets. Looks like I'll be waiting to buy any of these.

Zeldafanatic15 · 03-18-2025, 03:57 PM

I wasn't going to buy any of either 1 or 2, but I forgot last year I bought a 5 pack of card 1 and got the Ohtani SP, so I might have to test my luck.

I tried redeeming my points and getting the code before and it didn't work.

It’s not powered by sweet tooth anymore. My code is from October.

Kind of a bummer that Topps Now is just like every other product out there where you're paying to play the lottery and the base cards become more and more of an afterthought.

It was nice when there was one set where it was just the base cards and if there were autos/relics, you paid specifically knowing you would get those.

No parallels/variations/chase cards. Very simple and straightforward. Sure, it was a niche thing, but it highlighted moments that weren't often captured on cards.

I'm a fan of the autos/relics/variations in other sets and products. It was just nice to have one like this. Oh well.

I was okay playing the lottery for $8.99 per card last year, but for $11.99 per card I'm out. I'll pick up singles on the secondary market for cheaper and get what I want. Fanatics sucks!

Just buy from a bulk seller on ebay.

The normal NOW cards are $4.75 to $5.50 each shipped depending on seller and the ones with relic or auto parallels start at around $6 shipped.

I collect all the Dodgers Now cards each year so secondary singles on ebay was the only reasonable way to go for me.

I'm surprised that sellers are still selling for $5-6 when the price jumped per card so much, they're losing ~$3 per card selling at this rate.

I am assuming they are banking on hitting some number cards to pay off the lot. They probably buy in bulk, earn points, use the points to buy more in bulk , etc. Not sure it's such a profitable business model, but I am guessing there is a little something to be made.

Lol I just checked the pokemon card seller I hit up for 10 of #5 and 10 of #7 and he's asking $10 per card now

PRs are in for these first two:

Yoshinobu Yamamoto / Shota Imanaga - 2025 MLB Topps NOW® - Card 2 - LOOK FOR DUAL-RELICS - PR: 65,609

Which, if you're curious, means they should both have tier one:
50,000+ Print Run: Look for Chrome parallels /99 and /50 + lower parallel structure.

Wow. Not surprising but still surprised.

So you're saying I have a chance with my 5-card Yoshi/Shota order?
