If you went to a Cubs, Phillies or Rangers game on Saturday, you came home with an oversized 2016 Topps card. If you’re a fan of another club, your promotion is coming.
Topps has partnered with nearly every MLB team this season to offer 5×7 stadium giveaway cards. Fans going to certain games throughout June and July will receive one when they walk through the turnstiles.
Just one player, mascot or special moment is featured on each card and it’s just a one-time promotion. There isn’t a set to collect nor will every player featured be the team’s biggest star, although Mike Trout, Carlos Correa, Jose Bautista and a few other big names are in the mix.
One eBay seller was offering the Aaron Nola cards, which carry the official “RC” designation, at $2 each.
