The issue with doing this is that you can get them from Topps directly for $5 per card (if you do the 3 card bundles it is 14.99 with free shipping) and you get topps reward points.

Then if Topps does surprise parallels or Autos like they did with Topps Now in the first year (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/...baseball-cards), then the person making the bulk purchases and reselling them will get to cherry pick these out and you won't get those. Also the last two years for those that buy from Topps through the year they send a special card at the end of the year around Christmas.

So to sum it up you are paying the same price without any topps reward points, without any chance of receiving any parallel cards, and no chance of extra gift cards at year end.

If you only want singles though it doesn't make sense to buy all of them. I only want Ohtani and an Acuna if they make one.

Agreed. If you aren't buying the set, as the OP I quoted said he was doing, then buying singles from Ebayers is the best option.

I understand the rewards part but I get the mailings offering autographed cards and am a top tier rewards guy who gets the free monthly cards as well as other bonus cards through the year. My concern was missing a week or two and just did not need the hassle.

I'm still waiting for my road to spring training Yankees auto set. I really hope I end up with the Judge or Andujar. Getting Clint Frazier would be a huge bummer.

I have only bought two sets with multiple autographs. last years all star set and ended up with a Mike Trout. And last years Astros postseason set I received a Correa and purchased the Altuve to complete the set. Good luck on your Yankee set. I do sometimes buy autographed cards from Topps Now but for the most part they do not hold up in secondary market.

Definitely not for most. This set cost $119 and if Andujar is the star people think he is, it would be his autograph rookie which could hold some value. I think a Judge or even Sanchez would be worth the price too, especially if it's one of the low number cards. The only real bummer in the Yankees set is Frazier.
