Let’s look at the Topps Now cards that Topps made to immortalize
the 2017 All-Star Game:
Card #348
In the 6th inning Yadier Molina homered to tie
the score 1-1 becoming the oldest catcher to ever knock a homerun in an
All-Star Game. Yes, seems like a logical choice.
Card #349
In the 10th inning Robinson Cano homered to give
the AL the go-ahead run which turned out to be the winning score. Also Cano won
the ASG MVP Award. Yes, definitely a good choice for a Topps Now card.
Nope…Nope…Nope…Nope
Topps decides to create a card from the least baseball
related thing to happen during the game, a fucking hair flip. Yes, they decided
to go the shampoo commercial route and highlight Bryce Harper and his “EPIC”
(their word, not mine) hair flip. That the word "Epic Hair Flip" is on a card is ludicrous let alone using a picture of Harper flipping his hair like he is stepping out from beneath a cascading waterfall.
Yes I realize the card will sell, quite well I am assuming, and will probably sell higher on the secondary market than the other two cards.
Lol. Love the comparison at the end
ReplyDeleteYeah, that made me laugh out loud. Literally!
DeleteSame as P-town- nailed it!
DeleteAn auto of this would be hilarious!
ReplyDeleteScherzer striking out Aaron Judge... I might have actually dug into my wallet for that card.
