Something I've noticed as I've dove into the sports card blogging community is that a lot of days, there will be many posts about the same thing. There's nothing wrong with this, as there are big days in the hobby. There was a lot of Series 1 posts the first handful of days after it was released. I saw five or so posts this week with Presidential cards.
I've been one of the parties that has done this (see: Topps Series 1) and now I'm doing it again. I got to work early Tuesday, but when I got to my desk, this was on my keyboard.

posted about this on Wednesday, so there's no real reason for me to write a similar post. I'm the same as him in that I've found the cheaper eBay alternative to picking these cards up when I actually want them. I only made one purchase directly from Topps last year (Ichiro 3000th hit) and the only other card I desired (Jedd Gyorko) I picked up on eBay.
If I just want the one copy in the future, I may just go the eBay route. However if I want multiple ones, I may buy from Topps. Why? This is the second "free" card that I've received from them. I wouldn't mind more of them. The card(s) may not fit into my normal collection, but I can always find room for them.
I'm bummed I didn't get this, even after buying a few Now cards from Topps.
ReplyDeleteThat confuses me. Maybe ask Topps on Twitter if it only went to certain people...? I only did one order through Topps.
