Blowout Cards offers 5,000 more reasons to open 2020 Topps

We're just days away from the arrival of 2020 Topps Series 1 baseball cards and its early debut at the Topps Million Card Rip Party, but BlowoutCards.com has a few more reasons you might want to visit the first installment of the hobby's flagship release looking for one thing.

The 2020 Topps Celebration of the Decades golden tickets.

These invitations to an exclusive event are at the top of the Blowout want list -- and we're paying you $5,000 if you land one during the Million Card Rip Party set for live-streaming on Tuesday from Dallas.

Keep reading for more details.

There are just 50 of these golden ticket invitations going into boxes of 2020 Topps Series 1 or Series 2 but it appears at this point, based on the packaging for hobby, jumbo, blasters and retail hanger boxes, that all of them are in play as possible locations for these tickets to be found, which are good to attend a "collector experience that will be talked about for decades" when it happens later this year.

For now, the $5,000 reward for these golden tickets applies for those pulled during the Topps Million Card Rip Party that's set for Tuesday afternoon at AT&T Stadium. That event is where group-breakers will be ripping into cases of this one a day before its official arrival with streaming breaks and more contests going on live from the event. Blowout will have PayPal payments available immediately for those pulling and selling their golden ticket.

Among the inclusions on the 2020 Topps Series 1 checklist are Rookie Cards for Yordan Alvarez, Bo Bichette, Aristides Aquino, Nico Hoerner and Gavin Lux for starters. There's one hit per hobby box here, too -- Relic and autographs are in play -- and a guaranteed auto and even more in jumbo boxes.

The autograph list is a deep one that includes a mix of past stars and current players, too. It's a group that includes Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken Jr., Don Mattingly, Ryne Sandberg, Wade Boggs, Chipper Jones, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rickey Henderson, Mariano Rivera, Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Fernando Tatis Jr., Ichiro Suzuki, Ken Griffey Jr., Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley, Pete Alonso, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Johnny Bench, Juan Soto, Alvarez, Bichette and Lux to name a few.

That's not all, either, as cut autographs up the ante even more with legends like Connie Mack, Casey Stengel, Cy Young, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Roberto Clemente, Roger Maris, Satchel Paige, Ty Cobb, Ted Williams and Warren Spahn all among the names found on 1/1 autograph cards.

Beyond that, there are plenty of throwback inclusions in this year's release that include nods from throughout the history of Topps -- the stars of the 1950s to today. You can see and learn more about what's in 2020 Topps Series 1 at some of the links below.
