Here's 4 Topps Now cards that command big money for collectors
Topps Now cards have been a fun, innovative addition to the card manufacturer’s portfolio, capturing exciting moments on cardboard nearly as they happen.
Since 2016, Topps has been creating these cards, which go live the day after a game and are usually available for only 24 hours.
Topps Now has had its fair share of attention-grabbing releases over the years — Bernie Sanders sitting in the cold during the 2020 Presidential Inauguration, or the Team USA triple auto of LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant from the 2024 Summer Olympics, which still hasn’t surfaced.
But a handful of unassuming Topps Now cards command big bucks. Here’s a look at four of them.
The first card
This may not come as a surprise, but the very first Topps Now card ever made commands a premium.
It’s unassuming because it features Pittsburgh’s Francisco Liriano striking out 10 on Opening Day in 2016. It’s a nice outing and could still make the cut for a Topps Now release today, but as the program was just getting started, good — not necessarily great — games were featured.
Some of those early cards of the program sell for around $100.
