  ToppsNowToday (@josephwmayjr) reported 2 minutes ago

  The Cards Are Rare. But Does @Topps Care? Joe May — Topps Now Today #Fanatics Let me warn you from the beginning: This is going to be a negative article. I do not enjoy writing negative articles about Topps NOW. I have spent the last decade collecting, promoting and defending this product. I own at least one copy of every MLB Topps NOW card. I have built a community around it. I want Topps NOW to succeed. That is precisely why I am writing this. Yesterday, I asked whether collectors care about genuinely rare Topps NOW cards. Today, I have a more uncomfortable question: Does Topps care about Topps NOW? The Joshua Báez Chase Joshua Báez just had the kind of MLB debut that Topps NOW was invented to capture: three home runs in his first Major League game. Card #555 commemorated that moment, and Topps added a relic chase consisting of redemption cards numbered to /10, /5 and 1/1. That means 16 collectors will eventually receive relic cards connected to this historic performance. Topps officially listed the three relic levels on the card’s product page. We chased them! But after speaking with some individuals in the know, my fear about the relic material was.....How do I put this? Well know I will not be changing yesterday’s article, It was pretty much spot on without me even needing to talk to anyone associated with Topps. So I will offer this advice: If you receive one of those 16 redemption cards, sell it before the finished card arrives. The redemption allows a buyer to imagine a spectacular piece of the base—a logo, a painted section, a corner or something else worthy of a 1/1, /5 or /10. Once the actual card arrives, that imagination will for sure disappear. Now I've been told that they will try to make the one of one better than it appears but they don't have to it's pretty much what you see is what you get. You may receive an ordinary, ***** piece from the top or even bottom of the base. Your 1/1 might distinguish itself primarily through foil and numbering while containing relic material that looks like it belongs in a card numbered to /99. Actually people will be pulling cards like this from flagship commemorating this exact day an exact event and it will be numbered to 99 and it will look better than your one-on-one. The redemption may honestly be more exciting than the finished card. And that's a sad state of affairs. Topps NOW Once Led the Way This was not always the situation. In 2016, Topps NOW produced event-specific base relics that were genuinely remarkable. These were not generic pieces of memorabilia pulled from storage and placed into cards having no connection to the pictured moment. The relic was part of the story. Perhaps the most iconic relic card from the early years of Topps NOW is the 2016 “Bryzzo” card. It commemorates the final out of the 2016 World Series: Kris Bryant fielding the ball and throwing it to Anthony Rizzo at first base, ending the Chicago Cubs’ 108-year championship drought. Topps created dual-autographed relic versions containing pieces of a base used during Game 7, and those pieces were MLB authenticated. Those relics received the good pieces—the jewel sections, logos, edges and other visually distinctive parts that made each card feel connected to that exact night. That is why the Bryzzo relic has become one of the defining cards of early Topps NOW. The card did not merely commemorate history. It contained a recognizable physical piece of that history. Now imagine that same moment happening today. Would the Topps NOW 1/1 receive the best section of the base? Would the /5 and /10 cards contain jewel or logo pieces worthy of the final out of a World Series? Or would Topps NOW collectors receive plain sections from the bottom while the premium pieces were saved for future pack-pulled products? I honestly feel sorry for collectors who hit some of these modern World Series relics. They may wait months for a redemption, expecting something worthy of the moment, only to receive an ordinary piece that looks nothing like a premium relic. That approach will damage the entire product line. Topps and Fanatics may generate additional revenue by saving the best pieces for Dynasty, Definitive, Transcendent and other future releases. But in doing so, they risk neglecting the product that captured the event when it actually happened. They are weakening one of the very features that helped make Topps NOW successful. Some of those 2016 cards contain tremendous logo, jewels and easily recognizable base pieces. They are distinctive, immediately recognizable and worthy of their numbering. Unfortunately, hindsight is undefeated. If Topps had known what those pieces might mean years later, perhaps it would have saved every great section of those bases for a premium 2016 commemorative product released during the tenth anniversary. Instead, Topps NOW collectors received them. Imagine that. The Bryzzo card demonstrated what Topps NOW could be. If that same card were produced under the apparent modern relic hierarchy, the pieces that made it iconic might never reach Topps NOW collectors at all. Fanatics may believe it is protecting the value of its future premium products. In reality, it may be destroying the value—and eventually the collector interest—of the product that made those pieces meaningful in the first place. My Wembanyama 1/1 I have already experienced this with my Victor Wembanyama Topps NOW 1/1 relic. I understood that a Wembanyama relic from Topps NOW might eventually be surpassed by a spectacular premium card from another product. That is business. What I did not expect was for my 1/1 to be visually outclassed by seemingly every /5 and /10 relic placed into other products. A 1/1 should represent the best available presentation—or at least something approaching it. It should not feel like the product received whatever material remained after every pack-pulled brand selected its pieces. That is the problem. The Unofficial Relic Hierarchy Topps does not publish an official chart ranking which products receive the best relic material. What collectors see, however, creates an obvious perceived hierarchy. Topps and Bowman currently support an enormous baseball portfolio: Flagship Series 1 and Series 2, Update, Bowman, Bowman Chrome, Bowman Draft, Topps Chrome, Chrome Sapphire, Logofractor, Finest, Heritage, Stadium Club, Brooklyn Collection, Dynamic Duals, Inception, Museum Collection, Pristine, Tribute, Tier One, Definitive, Dynasty and Transcendent—among others listed in Topps’ own current and recent checklist catalog. Topps’ official checklist page shows the breadth of that product lineup. Some are inexpensive. Others cost more than many collectors’ monthly mortgage payments. Yet when the impressive relic pieces are distributed, Topps NOW appears to sit beneath all of them. Topps NOW may have captured the event first. It may have sold the card while everyone was still talking about the performance. Its collectors may have financed the acquisition of the base through their purchases. But when that base is cut, the best sections appear destined for products with future revenue still attached to them. The Topps NOW sales clock has already expired. The money has already been collected. The card has not even been manufactured, but its revenue stream is finished. From a short-term business perspective, I understand the temptation. Why place the best piece into a product that can no longer generate another sale when it could become the centerpiece of a future premium release? I understand it. I just think it is shortsighted. Topps Is Teaching Collectors How to Value Its Product If Topps treats Topps NOW as the bottom of its own relic hierarchy, why should collectors treat it differently? Why should someone chase a Topps NOW 1/1 redemption when they can wait for the same base to appear in Dynasty, Definitive, Museum Collection, Tier One, Tribute or another pack-pulled release with a much more attractive piece? Why should collectors pay a premium during the 24-hour window? Why not wait, buy one base card from the cheapest eBay seller and return to chasing packs? Topps NOW created an entirely new category of collecting. It taught people to value immediacy, exact moments and verified print runs. It taught us that the first card commemorating an event could matter. But Topps cannot ask collectors to love this product more than Topps appears to love it. If the company continually reserves the best material for every other brand, it is effectively telling collectors that Topps NOW is inferior. Eventually, collectors will believe them. The Opportunity Topps Is Missing Imagine if the Joshua Báez 1/1 arrived before the season ended with a spectacular logo or jewel base piece. The winner would post it everywhere. Collectors would say, “Look at that card.” The next time Topps NOW offered a relic chase, more people would participate. More cards would sell. The photograph of that incredible 1/1 would continue advertising the product long after the original sales clock expired. That is how Topps NOW becomes stronger. It's how it became what it is today. A remarkable relic is not wasted on a completed sale. It is marketing for the next hundred sales. Instead, a disappointing relic teaches collectors not to chase the next one. That may save premium material for another product, but it slowly destroys one of the best features Topps NOW ever offered. My Advice Thankfully, Topps NOW autographs are different. I still believe those can be among the most significant cards in the entire hobby because they connect an autograph to a specific achievement almost immediately. Though even that's changing many autographs if not in other products already we'll forego a Topps Now autograph... Preferring to wait for flagship or some other more important brand. But I can no longer recommend chasing Topps NOW base relics with the same enthusiasm. They were once among the greatest things the product offered. Today, too many feel like a promise of something special followed by a routine piece of material surrounded by different-colored foil. The mockup may show an ordinary piece, so perhaps nobody can technically call it a bait and switch. But that does not make the finished card any less disappointing. So, if you receive that beautiful blue Joshua Báez redemption card, take a good look at it. Then consider taking it directly to eBay while collectors can still imagine what the relic might become. Because once the finished card arrives, the most valuable thing inside that redemption may have been the expectation. I do not want Topps NOW to fail. I want Fanatics and Topps executives to recognize that they are weakening a product that many of us genuinely love. Topps NOW does not need preferential treatment. It simply deserves relic pieces worthy of the moments it was created to preserve.

  @goddammitsarah Enjoy it! I just curated a set of Lenox China for myself on eBay and the common thread was that it all was passed down from a grandma or mom. Every 60 year old piece had been saved for events that never were. I told one woman her mom would be happy!

  @craig_vent94132 @Pittsburgh1Pete That is usually where it shows up first. Card money is the most discretionary money there is, so the hobby feels a squeeze months before anyone writes an article about it. Slow eBay is a leading indicator, not a Pokemon problem.

  Apple's best-selling AI product this year is a $599 box with no GPU in the name. Here's what happened. OpenClaw shows up in November, runs AI agents on your own machine instead of renting them from the cloud, and picks up 323,000 GitHub stars. People do the math on their cloud bill. Then they go buy a Mac mini. And I mean all of them. By early April Apple had quietly pulled the 32GB and 64GB mini configs off the store. The 128GB and 256GB Mac Studios went with them. Whatever was left came with a 16 to 18 week wait. The $599 base model sold out for the first time in its entire life, and Tim Cook had to sit on an earnings call and tell analysts it might stay that way for months. Six weeks. That's how long it took to clear out the top of the lineup. Then eBay did what eBay does. Base minis listing at $715, $800, $979. Markups running $116 to $380 over retail, scalpers pushing toward double. For a desktop computer previously best known as the one your dad bought. The numbers underneath are the part that got me: • Q1: 6.2M Macs shipped, up from 5.7M • Q2: 6.7M, +10.1% year over year • The rest of the PC market that same quarter: down about 4-5% • Mac revenue: $8.4B, +6% Apple doesn't break Mac mini out separately, so nobody can tell you the exact unit count. But that's roughly a million extra Macs in six months, into a market that was actively shrinking. You don't really need the exact number. Why a mini, though? Because an RTX 5090 runs $1,800 and stops at 32GB of VRAM. A Mac mini goes to 64GB of unified memory. A Studio goes to 512GB. So a 30B model is comfortable on the little box, 70B is fine at 64GB, and 100B runs on an M4 Ultra. The scarce thing in AI quietly stopped being compute and became memory you can actually afford. Apple spent three years getting dunked on for having no AI story. Then an open-source project they had nothing to do with made their least glamorous product sell out worldwide. Best AI marketing campaign of the year, and Apple didn't run it.

  @KristjanBackman You could definitely scale the fb to ebay arbitrage but it wouldn't look like $1,200 net most of the time. My encouragement to anyone with that approach to flipping electronics would be to have net minimums and just a few asset classes you know really well. (Ex: RAM, SSD, & Laptops. $100 per deal net min.) Then it would be a matter of shotgun blasting lots of offers. Very doable with a small amount of time to make a few hundred bucks net per week. I typically only do one or two purchases like this per month since it's not worth it for me to slow down for smaller net deals but fun when they land for sure!

  @KILLLSEANKELLY @badger_breaks @CardVaultKC I was not wrong about anything. They made shipping $50…if it were an accident, how did they (really you) “fix it” and now it’s $5.50? You can’t “accidentally” make shipping $50. And you told me via message on eBay that it was an accident. Surprised you didn’t tell me your kid did it. Again, it’s not that serious and am ready to move on whenever you’d like

  @4Miathebrave If you are going to purchase physical copies, I suggest the nitro store! You can find the copy you want to purchase, give the link, title and price to a proxy or middleman who will purchase it, store it until you pay for shipping and then send it to you! Or, you could obtain a Japanese address for free with a packaging forwarding service, make a nitro store account yourself, pay yourself, and then have it forward to you with no middleman required! There is also j-list, based in America, that sells the offical english versions of the games! It’s all in eng, is easy to navigate, and is domestic for you, so no proxy required. eBay is full of resellers and scalpers who buy up all the stock, and resell it for higher prices. If you have issues with limited stock always being sold out, please do not support or buy from the scalpers and resellers on eBay, as that will just make the issue worse. Good luck!

  I am the Director of Retroactive Attribution at Phia, the shopping app Phoebe Gates co-founded. My job did not exist in June. It exists now because someone has to go back and figure out, after the fact, who actually gets credit for what. Attribution was always the word. I did not invent it. I inherited it. Here is what I inherited. A setting called enable coupon auto drop, switched ON on December 10, switched OFF on July 7, the same day a reporter called. Nobody builds an off switch for an accident. A second feature ran in the background every two hours, dropping a cookie on any site linked to a past Phia visit, whether you were shopping or not. Here is what that bought us. A retailer only owes a commission to whoever actually sent the customer. We stopped waiting to find out who that was. The cookie went down regardless, sometimes on top of somebody else's, so the retailer paid us for a sale we did not cause, and whoever did cause it got nothing. On December 18, Gates asked developers to confirm the auto-drop was live on every site with a coupon, so the company could be sure it was monetizing on all sales, regardless. It gets better. When a colleague warned that dropping a cookie every time a user closed a Phia pop-up would violate Chrome's own rules, a cover story was proposed instead of a fix: "the user is trying to open us and roll it back if they complain." In July, when a reporter called, the company said it had learned "within the last 24 hours" that its own code was causing the problem. I have both dates in front of me. I am not going to do the subtraction for you. Before July 7, we were bringing in roughly $80,000 a day. After, $10,000 to $28,000. An internal estimate put 51% of what we billed advertisers in June on transactions we did not actually influence. We are disputing the methodology on that number. We are not disputing the toggle. An attorney posted that this is the kind of thing that gets treated as federal wire fraud, up to 20 years. Nobody has been charged with anything. The last two men who did something like this to eBay got 5 months and 15 months, on $28 million and $5.2 million. Nobody in the actual precedent got 20 years. Nobody in this one has been charged with a single day. In February, before any of this, Gates told a podcast she wanted Phia to succeed with "no ties to my privilege or my last name." The revenue chart doesn't say whose name earned it. It just says whose name got the credit. Going forward, my job is to make sure every transaction gets attributed to the party that actually earned it. That's attribution. It was the crime. Now it's my title. The app still says Never Overpay Again. I have not found a beginning yet, only the days somebody decided not to say anything.
