Yeah, looks like they removed the "smartpost" loophole for free shipping on boxes.

Smartpost (free shipping) wasn't a loophole for just buying the Topps Now cards.
It's only a loop hole when you try to combine it with boxes of cards (or any other non-on demand products) to get free shipping.
Economy is just a name change from Smartpost.

By the way, now the shipping for Topps Now shows free for me.
Earlier today, I bought the Keith Shore x Bowman Bobby Witt Jr AP, and was charged $10 shipping.
I bought anyways since I feared the AP might sell out (it's still there ha!), but all the POD (print to order) products should have free shipping as per their shipping policy.
They changed the system somehow last week, and now we see this mess up every day and they revise everyday. Not sure why they can't get it straight.

I'm glad they didn't do another Ohtani HR card.
Can't buy a Topps Now card for every HR he hits lol

Picked this up! Twins are selling them at their Authentics booth at home games. Also grabbed a /99 that was $25. They had this one a Nelson Cruz base from his 400th HR and a Maeda strikeout game used baseball card.

Awesome pick up!
And thanks for remining me about this.

I saw their tweet about this a week or so back, and had thought about contacting them via email, as there is no way I can go to the stadium to buy one.
Hopefully I can get some nice Maeda relic cards, if they are still available.

What was the price on your Kirillof /10 by the way?
I might try to get one of them (or the /99) as well now that I see how nice they are lol

That's not a bad price at all.
Congrats on getting one!

Yeah. I said that. For free shipping on boxes.

I somehow missed that last important part of your post, apologies.

Several teams have done them in the past with Topps.
Some were available online on the MLB auction website, others only at their team store in stadiums.
Twins have the 1/1 version of these relics going up on auction at some point.

I believe there was a Whit Merrifield one for Royals, and Mookie Betts for Red Sox previously as well, off the top of my head.

Thanks, when was it that you took the pic?
I also saw similar pic posted by the Twins Authentic Twitter account, but was just afraid some of them might be gone by now.

This was from Saturday the guy who picked them up on Sunday for me said they were mostly untouched.

Are they Topps now, or just Topps cards? Either way sweet cards!

The only thing Topps has done with my beloved white Sox was an SGA jersey card of Paul konerko the year he retired. But it has a sponsor logo on it.

That's a good question.
I remember on the Mookie one several years ago that they had the "Topps Now" sticker wrapped around on top of magnetic case, and the auction might have sold it as "Topps Now", but I don't think it said anywhere on the card that it is "Topps Now".

Acuna auto tomorrow for his 1st career walk off homerun?

Kluber auto for his no-hitter?
Should be his first auto as a Yankee if it happens, and I see he has signed for 2021 Topps Tribute and Brooklyn Collection, so should be possible.

Hope they can pull off Kluber auto relics with baseball relics. Or even just non auto relics would be cool too. And arrive much quicker.

okumeister · 05-19-2021, 11:02 PM

Spencer Turnbull / Corey Kluber dual auto would be cool, commemorating their 2 straight nights of no-hitters.
But that probably won't happen, especially with Topps seemingly not being able to get Turnbull to sign.

quackhead · 05-19-2021, 11:36 PM

Another Tatis card?

Received my Padres RTOD sets and received a Grisham /10 and Kim /49. Kim card looks great!

twoten01 · 05-20-2021, 10:36 AM

Is there someone on here that buys every card and then offers them for sale? I'm looking to buy all of the Yankees cards all year long and rather just buy them all from one seller

You can join the "Topps Now Today" group on Facebook and try there.
Joseph May (the moderator) buys all cards from the set in multiples, and offer them for sale to members in the group as well.
