2018 Topps Now Card of the Month Baseball Cards
Product Details
The 2018 Topps Now Card of the Month baseball cards provide collectors with an exclusive incentive as part of the Topps Now Loyalty Program. These limited COTM releases must be earned rather than purchased from Topps, but the reward aspect of the set is based on having spent a certain amount at Topps' online store.
Very similar to the 2017 Topps Now Loyalty Program, 2018 brings a familiar lineup of tiers: Rookie, All-Star, Hall of Fame and invitation-only Platinum. Basically, you spend money at Topps to earn points that dictate your tier. These tiers open up access to the 2018 Topps Now Card of the Month offerings. Collectors who are All-Stars earn one COTM per season, while Hall of Fame and Platinum members get them every month from April to November.
Limited to one card per household, the COTM cards are only available to those with enough points to achieve All-Star, Hall of Fame or Platinum status in 2018. Collectors must earn at least 500 points to unlock a free Card of the Month card.
Because of the requirements to redeem the 2018 Topps Now Card of the Month cards, overall print runs tend to be on the lower side. For 2017, that meant less than 500 copies for any single month and the majority under 400 copies. However, 2018 has been about double that amount.
Although falling under the same umbrella as the main 2018 Topps Now Baseball cards, COTM has a different numbering system.
