Carlos Correa Now Exclusive to Topps

And it's a nice one.



That's a Prime Positions insert. Hopefully he'll have a RC auto as well....fingers crossed.

I just seen that on Twitter, very freaking nice. Good to see the kid really was worth all the hype

Here's an encouraging sign.

In the CL Topps released last Friday, there was no Correa to be found in the Prime Position set.

If Topps created a new one of those type of cards just for him, it stands to reason they'd have created a BC rookie auto for him as well. Right?

No way it still releases 9/4 with the late addition.

If he's a redemption, yes. If not, probably not. But hey, I doubt many would mind.

I guess it depends on when the cards were signed/that photo taken. If it was a few days ago, I don't think you can pack it out quick enough. If it was signed/taken a few weeks ago, then it might be packed out by now ready for 9/4 release.

He is now exclusive to Topps.

Topps and Carlos Correa Announce Exclusive Partnership





(August 26, 2015, NEW YORK CITY): The Topps Company, Inc., the exclusive trading card partner of Major League Baseball, and Houston Astros rookie standout Carlos Correa are proud to announce they have reached an exclusive memorabilia and autographed trading card partnership.

Correa’s autographed memorabilia will be sold exclusively through Topps, which is a first-of-its-kind deal for the longstanding company. In addition, autographed trading cards of Correa will be found exclusively in Topps® products, including its popular Topps BUNT® digital app. The seven-figure deal is for multiple years.

“I’m thrilled to join the Topps family,” Correa said. “I can’t be happier about partnering with a company like Topps for my first major deal as a big leaguer.”

Carlos Correa has been one of the most exciting rookies this season. In 68 games with the AL West-leading Astros, the 2012 first-round draft pick has 15 home runs, 43 RBI and 11 stolen bases with a .278 batting average.

“Carlos Correa is an outstanding talent who only seems to get better with every game that he plays,” said David Leiner, VP & General Manager of North American Sports and Entertainment for Topps. “We are excited to partner with an athlete who embodies our brand both on and off the field.”

This is Topps’ first foray into selling autographed memorabilia, which will include jerseys, bats, baseballs, and wall art. Topps will have more details in the coming weeks.

Welp, they just tweeted a link to the updated CL.

His only auto in BC is his Prime Positions (OP).

Excuse me while I go locate my nearest bakery for some humble pie. I figured for sure there'd be more to it than that where he's concerned.

seven figures, multiple years. I wonder if Correa's hand is going to fall off signing for Topps products or if Topps will supply his cards in their products in a reasonable way.

He's going to have a RC auto in Bowman's Best, I've just confirmed.
