is it worth it for the $150 base relic? do these increase in value?

okumeister · 04-20-2017, 03:20 PM

And I also got the #/99 as well, as the normal background color is my thing, and it's nice to have a non-auto version as well for my Ichiro collection.
I won't be buying anymore to flip.

This is one card that I really want all people to have fair shot at directly from Topps, because it's my favorite player Ichiro, and everyone should have the chance to share the greatness of him!

Pretty good prediction here.

All sold out. Cheapest one $500. And they did /25, /10, /1

Skodie1 · 04-20-2017, 03:20 PM

Well at least I got one of the /99 however failed at the /10 lol

cj828282 · 04-20-2017, 03:21 PM

I guess I got the last purple auto relic because I just purchased and now sold out. Wanted to go for the red but could not justify $1,000.

I'm biased being an Ichiro fan, but I think people will buy them for over $150.
It was a great moment, and the fan base of Ichiro is huge.

The last year's Ichiro 3,000 hits Topps Now relics still sell well.
Though the accomplishment this time isn't nearly as great as that one, the card should hold decent value.

kyle121592 · 04-20-2017, 03:22 PM

Went to pay for the /10 and it gave me an error message...great! Settled for the /25.

okumeister · 04-20-2017, 03:23 PM

All the auto-relics sold out...
That was fast.

okumeister · 04-20-2017, 03:25 PM

Would've been nice to have the 1/1 to go along with my last year's Topps Now 3,000 hits relic 1/1, but $2,500 was too much for me, and probably would've been sold out anyways when I go to checkout.

I like the fact that there seems to be no inscription for this one.
Makes my surprise auto from last year that much special

16Cubs · 04-20-2017, 03:28 PM

Got a /99 for Ichiro though who knows if the base was even on the field for the homer.

Agree it shouldn't be hard to resale for anyone who changes their mind.

okumeister · 04-20-2017, 03:28 PM

I just earned 4,000 points on the loyalty program.
It scares me how much I spent on that one transaction.

Haha - yup - same feeling lol.
Isn't that like $40 off a future order.
So made this only $960?

They were priced right in my personal opinion. Not having an auto #/49 or #/99 makes the #/25 that much more desirable. If anything, $500 was probably too low.

Bob Loblaw · 04-20-2017, 03:31 PM

jeez.

$500 for an Ichiro Auto? and it sells in minutes...

Love the Russell card! My request from yesterday was granted. Lol. As promised, I have ordered 20. Nice work Topps!

cj828282 · 04-20-2017, 03:34 PM

Are points showing up for anyone after purchases? I purchased the Ichiro auto and Swanson auto and I don't have any points yet.

I get the points added within minutes of my purchase.

joejoemay · 04-20-2017, 03:37 PM

I don't get points as a platinum member...or so it seems

mlbexpert · 04-20-2017, 03:54 PM

I'm still on such a high from getting an /10 auto relic. So excited. Can't wait to get it.
And got shipping confirmation from my ST sets. I went deep on those, so would be amazing if I got some great extra autos here that I can flip to cover this new Ichiro card. Spending $1K on an ichiro card was not in the budget this month to say the least.

Did you get shipping confirmation on ST auto sets? I think you bought some Orioles auto sets right? I purchased one as well but no confirmation yet.

Same thing has been happening to me. I purchased the Rizzo Autograph and both Cubs relics and no points showed up on my account for those orders.

All of my standard Topps Now order the points show up immediately.

At All-Star, trying to get that HoF status, is this happening to anyone else?

Probably a partial order then. Darn.
I ordered all my ST sets together and they don't differentiate when they send out a shipping notice. It's probably my Padres non-auto set then. I was hoping they were sending all together.

It seems like they won't be crediting any orders from before they announced the program. Sucks for those that went deep on the Harper autos (I may or may not be one of those people...).

I ordered the relics (missed out on the auto/relics as I'm in Italy for my honeymoon) and the base cards and received points on both of those orders. At > 77,0000 points now and still not sure what to do with them.

I am getting points which I can see on the site. Bad thing I had to start from zero. I just reached all-star level. I can't tell if I am a Platinum member from the site itself. But, I get the Platinum heads-up and points confirmation emails on my purchases.

The person who emailed me back said they are keeping track of our spending.
