Spring 2020 Premium Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/20/2020
The piece offered here isn't a "baseball card" in the conventional sense ... it's even better! This 2020 Topps Transcendent Hall of Fame "Exclusive VIP Invitation" redemption item affords the owner an opportunity to attend a very special event, an occasion that will be a once-in-a-lifetime thrill for the participants.
The festivities are slated to be held in late July, 2020 at Yankee Stadium in New York City. This Invitation states that Yankees great Mariano Rivera and at least one additional Cooperstown enshrinee will be present. The exact date and the complete roster of special guests have not yet been confirmed. (Guests at previous Transcendent parties have included Hank Aaron, Mike Trout, Kris Bryant, Shohei Ohtani and, most recently, Ken Griffey, Jr.)
One of the defining features of the super-premium Topps Transcendent release is that it’s never "just cards." A memorable experience is also part of every release. Every box contains 43 autographs, a hand-drawn sketch card and an exclusive invitation to a VIP meet-and-greet event. The retail price of a box is around $20,000. Normally an end-of-the-year release, the 2020 Topps Transcendent Collection Hall of Fame Edition Baseball represents an entirely new version of the elite brand. The 2020 Topps Transcendent Hall of Fame Baseball edition has a production run of 50 boxes (just one-half of the 2019 Topps Transcendent Baseball).
