The packs: 2019 Topps Now Future World Series baseball packs (two packs)
Where to buy: Click here (previously only offered via Topps.com)
Cards per pack: 3

PACK ONE
Cards: 3 (all in gallery below for both packs; sample back above)
Base Chrome team set prize (2) – Yoan Moncada (White Sox), Ryan Yarbrough (Rays)
Parallel Chrome team set prize (1) – Marcus Stroman (Blue Jays) (/199)

PACK TWO
Cards: 3 
Parallel Chrome team set prize (2) – Mike Trout (Angels), Brian Anderson (Marlins) (/199)
Parallel Chrome team set prize (1) – Nicholas Castellanos (Tigers) (/10)

Autographs/Memorabilia: None

What's Buzz-worthy: Just 10,910 packs of this one were ordered and made as part of the debut for the Topps Now Futures brand. There are just 90 players in the set (click here to view the checklist) and each card has a scratch-off on the back good for a prize if that player's team wins the World Series. Prizes will be a 20-card Chrome Topps Now World Series set with parallels limited to 199, 99, 49, 25, 10, five, and one copy in that mix. Autographs will be numbered to 50, 25, 10, five and one copy. There were no autos this time around, but I did land more parallels than basic Chromes so there's some hope for a fun return on these packs -- though my rarest prize is attached to the Tigers and that might be a challenge. On face value here, my Trout card is the highlight but there are some teams in the mix here based on the standings right now that make this one worth watching as we slowly inch toward the end of the long season. The second wave of award-winner packs seems a little more enticing to me as some teams can be seemingly out of contention now, while players can always have potential for a surge and action unless they are injured and out for the year. The next wave, though, has more cards and costs more per pack. I like this idea but may not dig in too often -- it could be fun in advance of, say, the All-Star Game or Home Run Derby ... stuff that doesn't require a longer wait to see if you won.

Product Grade: A 
Lot Grade: A
Fun Grade: B (It's a long wait until season's end ... )
