From NetPro:

"We are thrilled to announce that we have signed 19 year old tennis phenom Carlos Alcaraz to his first officially licensed trading card contract!

We strongly believe that Carlos has all the physical & intangible tools to become a future legend within the sport."

Nice timing.

Does that mean he won't be in the topps set?

You make this announcement with a link to purchase a card, you don't make an announcement, then say to come back in a few months when the cards are available.

If they have a deal in place, print up a few thousand "Preview" cards to whet the appetite of the market at $10/each, and then release a new set or whatever else in a few months.

Huge opportunity missed.

Regardless, it doesn't appear to be an exclusive deal, so watch someone else come to market first.

Netpro is still in business?

I hope Topps signs this guy. Their product is 2021. So if they sneak him in the product, they will get his rookie card status.

BRob1 · 05-09-2022, 12:59 AM

does he have any cards yet?

Lol. Same thought. What a random company. Make cards in 1991, 1993, 2003 and 2022. Nothing like consistency.

JWBlue · 05-09-2022, 07:06 PM

Is Alcaraz legit?

Jagsfansunshine · 05-09-2022, 07:26 PM

Yes - the real deal. Just beat Nadal Djokovic and Zverev in three straight matches. Might be another year or two before complete domination, after Nadal and Djokovic age a little more.

Are the NetPro cards licensed by the ATP?

Crazy match with Joker - could have gone either way easily.
6-7 (5-7), 7-5, 7-6 (7-5)

Jagsfansunshine · 05-12-2022, 06:49 PM

Yepp - Djoker is still the best. He's just knocking off rust.

Looking at their website and social media... doesn't look like they have a good marketing team in place.

Look at the card itself, so plain and underwhelming. Makes me more excited for the mythical Topps Chrome Tennis.

very cool! hope this works out. we need tennis cards!

Charismatic44th · 06-28-2022, 12:04 PM

Looks like NetPro will be adding match worn memorabilia in the cards, very nice

Charismatic44th · 07-29-2022, 12:42 PM

Has Alcaraz hype died down? Nobody is talking about the recently released designs from Netpro

1) Website still vague and just says late summer
2) I think people expected him to do better at Wimbledon. He has a ton of expectations built in at this point. Announcer said he expects him to win over 20 majors. Let's start with one...

k13 · 08-07-2022, 01:04 PM

He'll be like Joao Felix the next Ronaldo.

k13 · 08-07-2022, 01:06 PM

This should have Iga's rookie too no?

Charismatic44th · 08-07-2022, 07:11 PM

There is a mock up of the Alcaraz Patch Auto on the NetPro website, not sure if its gonna be the real thing, but I wouldn't think they would put an image on their site of a card they aren't planning on producing/selling

WinstonTennis · 08-18-2022, 10:57 AM

NetPro is about to drop some serious Carlos Alcaraz cards in a few days. They posted a real pic of some on card autos on their social media. Sounds like supply is pretty limited. A lot of pent up demand for this stuff.
