The Obligatory Topps Now Post

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.

Matt from BWTP 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.
