Update: The auctions close at 5 p.m. today with the break tonight.

--

Cheap Fun Breaks is teaming up with MLB Auctions for a charity break during a game this Wednesday.

Up for grabs is a box of the high-end 2022 Topps Definitive Collection baseball cards and BlowoutTV's Houdini will handle the break during the Mariners-Angels game with bidding closing at 5 p.m. The break will take place during the YouTube Alt Cast of the game (at this link) during the seventh inning and will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The game is scheduled for a 4:07 start.

This one will be a spot break, so all auction winners get one card from the pricey box of cards that's loaded with six autographed cards and two Relic cards.

MLB will match the closing auction price for each of the eight auctions, which are live now. Bidding on each spot opens at $150.

Topps is fixing the problem.

Collectors who find any dual-autograph card of Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Austin Meadows and Randy Arozarena in boxes of 2022 Topps Definitive Collection baseball cards will be able to get a replacement card and more from Topps, according to a letter released by the company on Friday.

"We believe the autographs are not of the players pictured," Topps said in its announcement letter (see it in full after the jump) addressing the problem. "While these types of issues are exceedingly rare, we take this extremely seriously and will work with customers holding this card to make the situation right."

In fact, Topps is going above and beyond with the fix for this -- any collector who receives the card will receive a full replacement box of the pricey Definitive release (that's around $2,000) as well as a replacement card of equal value.
