I get e-mails from my Topps Now account, so when his 1st round draft pick card came out I picked up a bunch of them, even though that's not really my wheelhouse.

I liked that it was his very 1st Topps card with the "RC" designation on it. He had one issued slightly earlier, where he threw out the 1st pitch at a Yankee game, but it didn't have an "RC" on it, and I wasn't a fan of the pose (even though I'm a Yankee fan).

I think everybody else was thinking the same, so they made a ton of them that week.

I sent a few in to get graded, and they came back as I had hoped. They don't really sell for much, because they printed a lot of them, but I still like them a bit.

In hindsight, I wish I had picked up a few more of his later, more attractive Topps Now releases when they first came out.

I think most of the Autograph and fancier releases, the price is already baked in for him to become a dominant superstar.

He's the real deal, as long as he stays healthy.
