Anyone obtaining the Topps Now cards? What do you think about them? I have purchased 20, mostly World Series (Cubs) and a couple Corey Seager. I avoided the autos and serial numbered. Hard part is waiting for delivery.

TOPPS NOW
|
I picked up a few Royals cards, Kang Jungho, and the Ichiro. The delivery time wasn't a problem for me, and they're nice cards. I would definitely have bought more if I (a) remembered to look every day, and/or (b) they had more Royals cards.
Cheers, 
They are really fun cards. I mainly picked up Red Sox, Bryant, Schwarber, and Ichiro. I saw many complaints about packing and quality but in the 15-20 that I got all were top quality. I also bought several of the Throwback Thursday sets and quality was good on those as well.

I did get three sets of the Limited Edition Cubs World Series cards, looking forward to seeing those. 
I think the concept is great. I only picked up one: the only one with Lucroy in a Brewers uni, #302 Traded card. Got it from the bay but the quality was top notch.

I think the quality issues were with the very first few printed. I was buying the cards from day 1, but became pretty selective about which ones I bought as I realized they were printing more and more. About mid-season I stopped buying them aside from 1 or 2 rookies that I thought were worth picking up. I did find that there are resellers on eBay who would pre-sell the cards at a discount compared to buying a single one from Topps. So if you only wanted 1 or 2 the best route was to buy from one of them on eBay, where you could get them for $5-$6 each instead of $10+S&H from Topps.

I paid about $8 shipped for it.

I bought the 3 Max Kepler cards from a bulk buyer on Ebay. They're actually a lot better than I thought they'd be. Nice pictures, cool idea and the overall quality is impressive.
I also snagged the Kepler/Trea Turner TBT card and that's also pretty good quality.
