Has not been much buzz about this and is only a few days away. I was doing some searching on the bay and came across this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-TOPPS-...+national.TRS1

I think the only way to get this would be through a hobby shop. Seems like a good deal to try for some autos but seems odd to be for sale on the bay.

doubt there are any autos in that box. 50 clear cello packs with 50 gift cards? maybe a discount card or something.

I wish Topps would find out where that box came from and never send them promo cards to give out again.

Did the National Card Day cards for Stadium Giveaway and Hobby store giveaway have same image used last year?
I saw the Ohtani SGA card had him as pitcher, but the one in the guy's listing shows Ohtani as batter.

I believe the images for the hobby stores and the stadiums are different.

As a store owner I can tell you that we have to pay for these to be used as giveaways this Saturday. Anything left after Saturday to the best of my knowledge can be used for what ever but it’s not something free they send shops. I haven’t gotten mine yet, won’t until Friday

These don't have to be given out for free. They are given out with purchases.
And like others said, shops have to pay for them.

Here is something else interesting, some distributors are holding back product and actually allocating it from stores. Because they know Ohtani autos are in it.

from GTS:

2018 TOPPS NATIONAL BASEBALL CARD DAY PROMOTIONAL PACKS PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:
Topps National Baseball Card Day – Saturday August 11th, 2018
(1) FREE pack per customer
Set size still TBD
Chase Card #1 (August 11th) – Aaron Judge (Minimum $10 purchase required)
Chase Card #2 (August 25th) – Player TBD (Minimum $10 purchase required)


I think this auction box is just the Free Pack. and not the Chase Card, with a chance of the auto.

but from what I'm seeing on ebay these National baseball card packs are clear? unless those are just the ones that were given away in the stadium.

this box in the auction is only 'sealed' with tape. if the packs are clear it wouldn't take much to search.
