Yes, I bought cards of all 8 players so I would be guaranteed the bonus card. Was the bonus card on your invoice? Did you receive a separate Topps Order email for it (like other bonus cards)? I did not.

I agree about the long term value, once the season ends outside of set builders who is really interested in purchasing a Nelson Cruz / July 22, 2017 card because it's 'SP' at 112 cards, especially for $1000 , LOL

I don't agree...of course. Many said the same things last year and I still sell 2016 cards at a premium almost daily. Yes they are not flying off the shelves and moving Melvin Upton Jr is no easy task but you still get $10 (or more) for them. Yes bulk buying discounts skew the real demand and bring the dollar value down on the set overall but it's not killing the program. 112 cards as not a lot for any player. Even if the guy is hated by most he has 112 fans...maybe many more. Anyway; everything you 3 guys have posted about the demises of the program has been said before...but still we go on collecting the set. If you have no faith I suggest going back to the million card print run sets you collected before. As I said before it's easy to talk people out of their investment and get them to sell out cheap...beware the guys who come on message boards talking bad about your 112 print run card as most likely the same guys are buying them up off of eBay.

No it didn't show them on the invoice.

I do get the $1000 might seem a little excessive but I am VERY PROUD of my cards and you under cutters are welcome to step up and bring the price down...I mean if you read the thread over the last 24 hours the program is all but dead! Sell now why you can!

Yesterday's Special Delivery...

EPIC FAIL for Card of the Month. And by epic fail I mean this is a huge Missed opportunity to have an EPIC card here with the Bellinger/Judge meeting.

No one cares about this anymore.

But yeah, at least Judge is on the card. And obviously it will sell, but it is just too bad a scrub is on it with him... The bloom is off the rose with this First Round matchup IMO...

Jeeves, whoever you are... I am going to hope you just couldn't get the rights to the Bellinger/Judge meeting card... Otherwise, no excuse to ruin this beautiful Judge card with Bour on it lol Topps is on the game to profit and even though the card is free, the Bellinger/Judge card would've been most EPIC and worthy of the word EPIC on it!!

[gamboooler]

Man, Bour also takes the RC shield away. I'm a noted Judge homer, but I think Altuve should've been the COTM. Or a Dodgers team card. Not going to complain about a free Judge, though.

It was the HL of the derby though. I mean, we will remember Judge winning, but that first round of his was the most exciting part thanks to Bour.

Missed opportunity.

If you were going with the derby, it was the Bellinger/Judge meeting.

I agree that Bour/Judge is weak as a card, and there could have been other choices, but disagree on Bellinger/Judge having more relevance.
Bellinger basically did not live up to his hype on that derby.
I would be more disappointed with having Bellinger/Judge HR derby card over this.

The highlight to me was Judge winning. Bour is an afterthought IMO now. Great effort but he didnb't get out of the First Round. If that was in the Final it would've meant more to me, but it wasn't. Epic was the 2 ROY favorites meeting for the first time... And you could've had the RC on the card too I'm guessing... But, hey, that is just me!

I understand what you're saying about his disappointing Derby, but to me the card would not have been about the Derby. It would have been about the two ROY favorites meeting. I think that was what was special... Wasn't about the Derby performance of either but the photo op and the meeting during their special seasons

[espyonage]

Nats go back to back to back to back. Phew!

I didn't really see Bellinger and Judge meeting at the All Star to be anything special honestly...

I think Stanton should have gotten the COTM nod with the amount of homeruns he is hitting this month, but I suppose the decision was already made before his recent mass production of home runs.

We have a guaranteed card right there.

When can we actually reserve the Card of the Month?

Now. You can actually start reserving them a few days after the start of each month.

So, I am curious. Has the TBT program been taken over by On Demand? No TBT for weeks, very few I should say, and it looks like none today.
