The two newest members of the Baseball Hall of Fame are getting fresh baseball cards. Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza are featured on the latest Topps NOW cards, part of the ongoing 24-hour print-to-order program that began at the start of the year.
Griffey is pictured with his much discussed backward baseball cap pose while a smiling Piazza is also shown at the podium during his induction speech.
The cards were made available early Monday afternoon and will only be offered for 24 hours via this link. They’re priced at $9.99 each but can be purchased for as low as $4 per card in quantity. Some eBay sellers purchase in bulk and then offer individual cards lower than the Topps price for a single card.
It’s likely the Griffey card, especially, will be in high demand and we’ll find out tomorrow how many were ordered once Topps publishes the print run. Topps has been chronicling events of the 2016 season by creating cards virtually every day. Over 280 have been offered since the start of the year, including a total of four on Monday.
They’ve published fewer than 250 in some cases but over 8,000 orders were placed when Bartolo Colon’s first career home run became the subject of a card and received a lot of mainstream media publicity.
