Now I would've been excited about either Altuve or Correa for my autograph. I ended up being pleasantly surprised with this

I didn't just get an Altuve..I got the purple parallel numbered to 25!! Totally awesome that I just didn't get the base auto!
So the next card I picked up was from the ALDS series

I had to get this Altuve auto commemorating his 3 home run game in Game one of the ALDS against the Red Sox! I decided to stick with the regular one numbered to 99, knowing I'd probably be buying a crap ton more stuff lol.
So my next purchase was a card from the ALCS against the Yankees

The Astros-Yankees series was A CLASSIC and was full of drama and excitement. This card commemorates that awesome game 2 victory where Correa hit an RBI double to seal the game. Comes with a piece of base from the game too.
Now we turn to the World Series which I ended up with 4 cards. I'll go in order of the games, though I didn't receive them in the same order. The first one is DOOZY

This beauty is from Game 2 of the World Series against the Dodgers, when Altuve and Correa hit back to back homers in the 10th inning of an 11 inning game the Astros eventually won. I was NOT expecting such an awesome base piece. That thing is GORGEOUS. It's one of my favorite cards of my entire collection. Just an amazing piece of history. So glad I bought this card.
The Bregman Auto from Game 5 I've already shown off but here it is again

I had to get something commemorating the clinching game and most of it was too rich for even my blood so I settled for this

A little bland, but it's still a piece of a game used base from the clinching Game 7 of the Astros first World Series title.
And to finish it off...this beauty

I would've LOVED the auto/base version of this but it was way too expensive so I decided to get this, which wasn't exactly cheap either but it's such a cool card. 3 of the bigger catalysts that drove the World Series title. It would've been cool to have a quad auto with Springer, but I'm certainly not complaining, this is a beautiful card.
So there it is..my Topps Now Astros Postseason Haul! Such a great way to commemorate a great season!
Love the Altuve & Correa dual autograph! Kinda want one for my Altuve PC, but I imagine they're probably pretty pricey.
ReplyDeleteYeah buying directly from Topps is probably more pricier than waiting and trying to find one on Ebay, but for this card I just had to make sure I 100% got one and seeing the base piece I'm glad I did!
