I'll keep an eye out and make a note on my spreadsheet...didn't realize people collected just those. FYI the Throwback uniform card is actually kind of scarce, since many need it for team sets.

[joejoemay]

Also got my first Bryant and Zobrist 25% off coupon cards in the mail yesterday and they both look great. Not sure if I just got lucky or what but I'm sending them out to Dallas for grading Monday. Along with a crap load of other cards.

[joejoemay]

On a sad note, I got my third set of Dodgers LAD-1 through 15 and as is the norm the LAD-1 card will not be going to BGS :-( That card is going to be a BEAR!

[joejoemay]

Well still many hold outs on the original thread. I say we take guesses on who is going to be card #1 next year. Even money �� is it's the Cubs trophy card.

So I'm not guessing that, I'm guessing it's Tommy Joseph of the Phillies. He goes 4 for 5 and hits 3 HRs

I'm guessing the WBC will have many cards

[ToppsCollector1]

The WBC might get its own set

[joejoemay]

That would be my guess...it's own set

I don't think it will be, simply because the Cubs are away for the first few games of the season.

I think Trevor Story hits a home run on opening day.

[joejoemay]

Still waiting on Bryzzo and Bryssull cards. Wife was going to Dallas for the week but since I still don't have these I will wait on the next batch of grading on this set.

[joejoemay]

Got an IOU last night for the White House auto card.

I would actually be interested in seeing if the WBC gets cards, sets, or by team maybe like they did the postseason teams.

I'd probably pick up a Team Israel team set if they make one!!!

[okumeister]

If Topps Now is doing WBC.
That could mean Shohei Ohtani's 1st ever Topps card will be coming out on Topps Now.
I would be all over that thing.

I wonder if they have the rights for players outside the MLBPA though. WBC sets might be tough to license.

That being said, would LOVE LOVE LOVE a Ohtani relic or auto.

Yeah, the licensing matter, I also thought about and almost wrote on the last post.
Did the Tribute WBC set have players outside of MLBPA?
If so, maybe they can pull off the same thing this time, though there seems to be not much time left.

An auto or even better, auto & relic would be absolutely $$$$$ for topps. Make it happen Fred!!!!

[joejoemay]

I would be all over some WBC cards....

If you don't want to go look at the picture the back says:

Congratulations!

You have pulled a Topps Now Golden Ticket!

This Topps Now Golden Ticket entitles you to a special foil stamped Topps now card(s) produced on the following dates
[dates blurred out]
For complete official rules go to
www.topps.com/goldenticket (the website is not even up yet typical Topps)
cards must be redeemed by December 31, 2017

So, pretty cool. I like that you won't know what the cards are or will be until that day and value will obviously depends what happens the day before that.

So Topps Now will have some Foil Version in 2017 or PERHAPS as the web site at Topps states these are cards issued (Before) AKA buybacks...from 2016

[joejoemay]

Bringing this to the 2017 thread as it is where it belongs....

Good question...I was thinking about buying one of these but it could have no value at all. There were several days with out a Topps Now card being selected for printing. I think they did these Golden Tickets for each day of the baseball season.

Thursday April 6th looks like this:
Phillies @ Reds 12:35 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Royals @ Twins 1:10 PM TBD TBD
Pirates @ Red Sox 1:35 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Rockies @ Brewers 1:40 PM TBD TBD
Tigers @ White Sox 2:10 PM TBD TBD
Padres @ Dodgers 3:10 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Angels @ Athletics 3:35 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Marlins @ Nationals 4:05 PM TBD TBD
Braves @ Mets 7:10 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Blue Jays @ Rays 7:10 PM TBD TBD
Mariners @ Astros 8:10 PM TBD TBD
Giants @ D-backs 9:40 PM TBD TBD

So no Cubs games...so your Ticket is worthless.

Just kidding...out of all these games I think one card will be issued. Normally 1 card is issued and up to 7 can be. It just depends. If you get one each of each card issued with the foil stamp and it is a 1/1 (I think it will be), then you could have a gold mine...I mean Trout plays that day. If he gets a 1/1 Topps Now card, you could be looking at $1K easy. It's a lottery ticket. We should start keeping track of folks who have each day...
If this was going on last year your ticket would have got you a #7 Kenta Maeda (RC) Where he hit the Home Run and card #6 Trevor Story's second card where he had just homered in the 3rd game of the Season.
Two amazing cards that I would pay about $500 each to have in a 1/1. So it is going to depend...so it's a gamble. I'd pay you $100 for it...but your likely to get more...I'm a gambler and the Phillies play that day so you might squeeze a few more bucks out of me! Who ever has Opening day, Jackie Robinson day, Memorial Day, 4th of July and other notable days that will almost certainly have a card worth more...I am looking for 26 May...it's the #1 thing on my card want list!

Yea, Abreu and Gourriell both have cards in the last set and ( many others) who were not in the MLBPA at the time

[joejoemay]

Attachment 360602

Back of the card as requested.

[ToppsCollector1]

So youre guaranteed at least one card. A foil stamped one at that, which might mean that its a special variation

[joejoemay]

It could be but only if Topps produces a Now card that day. Perhaps they are planning on doing a card (or more) every day (no matter what). If they produce no cards perhaps that means NO FOIL CARD either...Not sure.

It's why I think the pricing on these are no more then say $100...it's a crap shoot and (it seems you will have the 1/1 version of a card) but you don't know who it is/will be...if anyone at all.

If your a gambler (and most card collectors are), then by all means pay more but you could be looking at a 1/1 of a back up second baseman who just happen to hit the walk off single in a 12 inning game. Then what is it worth?

Anyway...crazy awesome idea Topps.

[joejoemay]

Okay so I've hear of one GT selling for $500 (not sure of the date) and the one that is up right now for $799.99...
I'm not trying to talk down the value of your card...actually might even get you to raise it.
So the date is 4/6/2017: a day with 12 scheduled games (I think the norm is 15...at least the day's before and the days after have 15...I'm not an expert)
The games are:
Phillies @ Reds 12:35 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Royals @ Twins 1:10 PM TBD TBD
Pirates @ Red Sox 1:35 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Rockies @ Brewers 1:40 PM TBD TBD
Tigers @ White Sox 2:10 PM TBD TBD
Padres @ Dodgers 3:10 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Angels @ Athletics 3:35 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Marlins @ Nationals 4:05 PM TBD TBD
Braves @ Mets 7:10 PM TBD TBD Tickets
Blue Jays @ Rays 7:10 PM TBD TBD
Mariners @ Astros 8:10 PM TBD TBD
Giants @ D-backs 9:40 PM TBD TBD

1st: you are 3 games short of the 15 games normally played (not sure on these facts). But it is a minus
2nd: No Cubs so this takes the price down again...Topps Now is all about the Cubs (Not for me but a 1/1 Cub card is better then almost any player on any team not the Yankees or named Mike Trout
3rd Mike Trout, plays a Big Plus
4th: April Showers...I've no basis for this fact that I am going to spew but 1 or ever 2 of these games are going to be canceled due to weather.
5th: One of the Teams is the Phillies: Topps hates the Phillies and even when they do something that has been card worth of another team (Extra innings walk off hit, or triple play for example), they just don't do a card.
6th: You have the Mets, Dodgers, Nats, BoSox all at home all could equal a good card.

So you could be sitting on a Trout & Harper 1/1 but most likely Harper since he is hot in the beginning of the year.
You could go into it even deeper and see who the likely SP is (you card could increase in value just on pitching changes).
Anyway, for me I thought it would be worth $100 but might have paid you $200...since there is only one per day (so far that is just an assumption) and considering I've paid up to $500 for a seat at a game...I think your $799 isn't unreasonable to ask.
