FS - Topps Now - Ichiro Relic cards : 1 of 25 / 1 of 49 / 1 of 99

[doug.goodman]

They sold out in about 8 minutes, and anybody who is on the Topps Now website when they become available has a chance at them.

Thru Saturday, Aug 6, Topps has released 328 different cards, with a combined print run of 197,038 and I only bought one (1) of those, but I was able to buy 9 of the relic cards (about 5% of the total released) when they hit the market yesterday, so Jake, I don't think that you are right when you say "certain people get first crack at them", although I would have agreed with you if I had been shut out yesterday, and if all the usual ebay flippers had won the lower count cards (which they didn't).

I don't buy many of these, however I got to attend the allstar game and other festivities this year so I got one from the Futures, HR Derby, and ASG. I actually had a shot at the Hosmer relic but wasn't all that interested. They are kind of cool..doubt they'll ever be worth all that much over issue price. They are an excellent momento though, especially if you are at the game.
