Topps continues to feature cards from the 2017 World Baseball Classic through its on-demand NOW platform and Saturday night’s phenomenal catch by Adam Jones of Team USA provided the opportunity for an instant classic.
Jones leaping grab—a key moment in the U.S. win over the Dominican Republic– happened with a sea of fans at Petco Park directly behind him.
Jones’ outstretched glove and the reaction of the fans made for a great photo that Topps has turned into a card as part of theongoing chronicle of the international tournament that’s now playing out. You can buy one for $9.99 (or get them cheaper in quantity).
The card—and two others showcasing emotional moments–one featuring Giancarlo Stanton and the other Eric Hosmer– are being offered through early Monday afternoon. Prices start at $9.99 via this link with a three-card bundle available for $24.99.
The card doesn’t quite capture the same fan reaction that the instantly famous still image from the TV broadcast did…

…but it would be a big upset if it isn’t one of the top cards of the year.
