Card Identification Forum

Got this card in the mail today from Topps. It's clearly a promo from the 2018 Topps Road to Opening Day sets (see the discount code on the back).  Couple questions:

1.  Should it be in the dB?  (My gut says yes--as a promo card)

2.  Where should it go?  The 2018 Road to Opening Day sets (if 2017 is any guide) are likely to be listed as individual team sets.  I'd assume the Promo card should be an insert/related set, but I don't know if Trout is the only card or if there are a series of them, so should it go separately under promos or should it go as a related promo to the Angels set?  Again, my gut tells me there are probably other promos, but I have no evidence that that is true...

Looks like a promo for a 16 card Topps Now team set

Let's give it a few days or so to see what other promos (if any) are hitting the market. You know these will be sold. So if there are others, they'll pop up on ebay and the like.

Agreed.  I know they'll be sold because I'll be willing to sell or trade mine eventually.  After I scanned it, teh first thing I did was drop it in a penny sleeve and a top loader.  I assume it won't be too valuable of a card since they likely mailed one out to everyone who has purchased a Topps Now card or set, but it's something I know that any Trout or Angels collector would want.

BTW folks: if you're interested in a Road to Opening Day set, the discount code on the back is for 25% off and is "ST25"

I just got the same card. Topps also did this in 2017, sending a Trout promo to everyone who ordered a Topps Now card from the previous year. The 2017 card is listed in 2017 Topps Now base set, #NNO. 

It should be a promo in the 2018 Topps Now set.  It's not a promo for the RTOD sets but Topps Now as a whole. On the front it says "Welcome to the 2018 Topps Now season!" Also I haven't heard of any other promo cards for this year and if last year is any indication, there will only be one promo card issued.

The card literally says "Take 25% off a 2018 Topps Now Road to Opening Day team set of your choice"...
