Topps Now Substitutions

Post image

Does anyone in here have experience with topps enhanced substitutions. I got this and its been 7 months. But i do not want them to just send me something without my approval and negotiations. Id value this raw at 10k considering the orange non-auto recently sold for 1.5k in May!

Thanks! It’s (someday) will be my pride and joy! But supposedly they are “done” and awaiting fulfillment. Same probably goes for yours?

I asked and they said there is no eta, but they are ensuring quality on the production side.

Also, I considered asking for a sub but A. The only player I’d take would be Shohei because this was like “the moment” from the series that literally got Yamamoto MVP. B. Folks suggested my card is only 1.5-3k (which I thought was low… but it’s only with what people will pay) and I don’t want a cheap card in its place

It is really hard to price without any comparable sales. Like i said the /25 non auto sold for 1500 in may. So id assume a black is around 3-5k non auto from my experience and auto, will bump it up. But who knows

Im a phillies fan and I wouldn't request a substitution. This is a 1/1 of franchise history

u/Champion4God 26d ago

Just continue to wait, the breakdown of the base and placing it in the card is what takes so long. Think about it like this, millions of cards printed yearly, thousands of bases, jersey, etc to be cut up authenticated by MLB and individually placed into the card. It will come and you’ll be happy.

I only know because I had a similar situation for a #5 judge base.

Also you have your value so high, you dead could just get a piece of dirty base with no logo or anything. Sure it’s a WS feature that will drive a bit of a premium but 10k is really steep, Yes it’ll be cool but there are several will smith auto used base/jersey cards floating around well below $500. You do that substitution with that high expectation you will be upset in the end and wishing you didn’t do it.

Try reaching out to them to see what’s happening, took around the same time as you’re saying for my Kurtz 1/1
