NOW! Topps! NOW!!!
Today I received a cool box from Topps that included my Topps Now Opening Day autographed cards. At the beginning of the season Topps issued a set of Twins (and every other team) cards of the players who they expected to make the opening day roster. You had the opportunity to purchase a set with or without an autographed card. There were four players who autographed their cards for the autographed set. I bought four sets so it insured I would get a signed card by each player. Today those cards showed up. I did not realize that they were numbered which was kind of cool. The cards and numbers I received are:
Felix Jorge 5/5
Zack Granite 01/10
Brian Dozier 30/49
Byron Buxton 08/25
Pretty cool cards!
