His phenomenal rookie season has kept Topps busy. In all, the company has produced 26 NOW cards of Judge since last spring, commemorating various moments and milestones.
New NOW cards are produced on a daily basis as sort of a chronicle of the season. and are available for 24 hours. Individual cards are priced at $9.99 but they’re cheaper in quantity while relic and auto relic versions are significantly more expensive.
Topps expects to sell its one millionth NOW card later this week.
