All they have to do is randomly ship a variety card of each type of card to a few buyers...Let's say a 1/10
Sales would soar.

I doubt it. Flippers would get all ten because they buy most of the product. I know this because I buy quantity of each card and when I go to look at eBay I quickly see that over half the print run is immediately available for less than $7.

Cubs card tomorrow. Russell walk off!

Of course your odds go up the more you order, but it would give that random rip wax open feeling of did I get lucky?!

Once before the all star break and one after is what I suggested. Have it go out before the all star game and before the playoffs, to one random person and announce it on social media. Win for everyone.

I think they'd need to do it with more frequency. You want to keep excitement high on an ongoing basis. Maybe once a month or something to get a lot of repeat buyers.

Hallco · 04-19-2017, 06:16 PM

I thought about getting one of the Danby's base cards(Braves fan) but thought I could get it cheaper if the pr was high(er). Think that was a good idea. I also collect Simba and got one directly from Topps. Also think that was a good idea.

mlbexpert · 04-19-2017, 06:26 PM

Ichiro Topps Now autograph tomorrow?! Please make it happen Fred.
I need this after missing out on the /10 last year.

I'm 100% sure they will use those ideas as I would imagine it's incredibly hard to find all the baseball moments that happen every day, especially when it's a ton of games.

Will do. I thought Winker may have one a few days ago. Then yesterday the Reds had the immaculate inning deal and also had Arroyo getting the first win since the 1940s for the Reds at age 40 plus from a starter. If they need help finding moments hire a fan from each team and I'm sure they'll have plenty of ideas to go with other than missing out.

I have always thought Topps Now isn't an immediate flip profit situation.

I am doing an experiment right now. I can't give any details as it will screw up the experiment, but it involves the secondary market value of one specific card.

It might be weeks/months, but I'll report my findings when I have them.

I'm hoping the 2016 will start flipping higher soon. The 2017 are probably a hold for a while. I bought some low print run cards from flippers for $6.50 dlvd, after the PR was announced.

Double sided card would be sweet. Front side pic of him dropping the bat after the swing, back side team celebration at home plate. Please Topps? I would buy 20!

I'm 100% interested in finding out more. Let us know when the experiment is over.

And on the seventeenth day Fred paused his work which he had made in ernest; and he rested on the seventeenth day from all his work which he had made.

I will but it'll probably be a month or more. It's something I learned from Etopps and I"m putting it into play for Topps Now.

We'll see if it makes an impact.

speedyjg13 · 04-19-2017, 09:29 PM

What time does Topps release the new cards for day on Topps Now? Also, do you have to have an a a count prior to purchasing or can you just buy whatever you want (assuming it's still available ) and checkout/pay as a guest?

Marlins have option for 2018 as well if they want to sign him.
By the way, Ichiro wants to play until age 50.

cj828282 · 04-19-2017, 09:55 PM

What would be the price for an Ichiro auto #/99? Do you think they would only SP the auto to less than 25 copies? Seems like if they are going to offer an auto it should be more than just 10 copies. I understand the limited numbers for the baseball relic autos.

I think they'd either do /25, /10, /1 (triple autos & Trout/Bryant dual) or just /10 and /1 (Pujols auto last year). They could sell the cheapest one for $500 and it would sell out instantly.

okumeister · 04-19-2017, 10:37 PM

Don't know how I should feel about it if the Ichiro moment becomes an auto...
I would buy it as a huge Ichiro fan, but there is also a side of me that thinks Topps Now is overproducing these autos, and doesn't want to think Ichiro to be "one of them".

If there is #/99, it should be priced at $250 minimum, if not more.
It can end up like the Pujols auto, only 1/1 + #/10s.

If there were only 10 copies I assume they would all sell out before going live due to early access. They would go quick.
