Now that I have received the final card that I needed yesterday my 2016 Topps Now baseball team collection is complete with all 16 Mariners, including both of Griffey’s
cards, plus I have two Ichiro cards. I finally gave in and purchased the Chris Iannetta
#67 but the rest of the cards I either paid the $9.99 Topps price or less when
I go the eBay route when you pre-purchase them usually they sell at $6 or $7
dollars before the release numbers are announced. My collection includes the error card #474 which was
supposed to be Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Correa but instead includes Nomar
Garciaparra and Mookie Betts on the front but the correct back so I am including it as a Mariner card.
Next year I don't think I will chase all of the Mariners card, instead sticking to just specific events and maybe a team card if there is one.
The 2016 Mariners checklist:
#16 Dae-Ho Lee
#25 Hirashi Iwakuma
#63 Felix Hernandez
#67 Chris Iannetta
#97 Leonys Martin
#111 MLB Honors American Troops (The middle panel is of the Mariners bench)
#120 Seattle Mariners
#178 Adam Lind
#263 Adam Lind
#268 Leonys Martin
#281 Ken Griffey Jr HOF
#408 Pat Venditte
#453 Taijuan Walker
#474 Alex Rodriguez/Carlos Correa
#487 Robinson Cano
#AS-1 Ken Griffey Jr. All Star Game
I'm hoping the Vogelmonster gets a card next year. Congrats on completing the team set!
