This was probably the coolest moment of the season. The Pirates were in the midst of a winning streak right before the All Star break and they decided to bring up an extra position player to lengthen the bench. Josh Bell delivered in a big way.
The best part of the card is Cutch just taking it all in on the right side.
I'm sure people that are completing the entire Topps NOW set are happy to see Topps giving bundle deals each day. This doesn't really help the team collector, but at least Topps is trying.
Thanks for reading
I recently ordered my first Topps Now card. I hope it comes soon. How long did it take you to process your order?
ReplyDeleteTakes a couple weeks. If you want to save a few bucks, there are a couple sellers on ebay that sell them for $6.99 or $7.99, free shipping. Just takes a bit longer, but that's worth the couple bucks to me!
DeleteThats what I've been doing. Quite a few sellers have popped up that offer most of the releases for $7.
DeleteFrom Topps directly it will probably take 7 to 10 days. I usually order on ebay which can take a little longer.
ReplyDeleteThose cards capture great moments for the Pirates. What's the card stock like?
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, the Dbacks only have one Topps Now card in the entire 343 card set (as of 11 August) and it merely highlights a solid start by Greinke. I get it, they haven't had a great season, but some other Dbacks performances merit a card more than a player getting traded mid-season.
Rant complete.
Nothing fancy about the card stock, just like a normal flagship card. The card is all about the subject matter. The Pirates have ~15 now of which most are centered around high end prospects making debuts.
DeleteThese are pretty good- I was a little disappointed with the photo they picked for Ichiro's 3,000th hit - I thought it was a missed opportunity.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the one with him and Clemente that is on sell now? It is pretty cool.
