3 Big Sales: 2018 Topps Transcendent Baseball – Beckett Pricing Insider

This edition of the Beckett Pricing Insider is sponsored by MVP Sports Collectibles.

Now in its third year, the Topps Transcendent has set the bar when it comes to high-end baseball product. The 2018 edition, of which only 83 sets were produced, was released in mid-December. It took some time, but enough singles have made their way to the secondary market for the Beckett Pricing Team to begin pricing the product. Be on the lookout for pricing in the Online Price Guide in the coming days.

While going through the secondary market sales report, we came across a bunch of cool cards and items, three of which we thought we’d highlight here.

1. 2018 Topps Transcendent Mike Trout VIP Party Invitation – $7,500

Each of the 83 Transcendent sets contains an invitation to this exclusive party with the best player in baseball. The party is scheduled to be held in Arizona in February. The invitation entitles the holder to lodging and accommodations, entry to the private dinner, Mike Trout meet-and-greet, photograph and autograph, as well as being eligible for a host of other raffle prizes and giveaways.
