2016 Topps Now Postseason Baseball Checklist, Print Runs and Details
2016 Topps Now Baseball has been about the moments and stories of the season. 2016 Topps Now Postseason Baseball takes a slightly different approach. While there’s still the story element, in some ways, it’s more of a cumulative approach. But there is still a timely element as more cards get added with every postseason series.
The bulk of the content comes in the form of team sets. As teams clinch their playoff spot, Topps is releasing a set of 15 cards. As you’d expect, big stars and key players are the focus.
If teams do well in the playoffs, the team sets get bigger. The winners of each round starting with the Divisional Series get another 2016 Topps Now Postseason Baseball card commemorating the victory. That means the team that wins the World Series will have 18 cards — 15 player cards plus three additional cards.
Each 2016 Topps Now Postseason Baseball set costs $49.99 on the Topps website. Bulk lots of ten are $399.99. They’re being put on sale the day after franchises lock up their postseason spots and are available through October 6. Print runs, which are based on what’s sold, will be announced after the sales window closes.

The bonus card thing is a fine idea but it seems like it should’ve been attached to the division clincher cards rather than circumvent the gimmick of “NOW” by doing it with team sets that don’t have anything to do with the previous day’s games.
Kind of wished they had filled out the sets with the full 25-player rosters as they were set and updated.
