2019 Topps Now: April 4th, 2019 - Nick Markakis




Finally found the time to post my first 2019 Topps Now card of season. When this season started I really didn't know what to expect from this Braves team. There were a lot of questions going into the season, especially with starting pitching and the bullpen. However there was one thing you knew you'd get out of Nick Markakis and that is consistency. It didn't take Nick long to show why he is still a valuable part of this team. April 4th he went 5 for 5 with 3 doubles and 5 RBIs against the Chicago Cubs.

Topps Now cards have been pretty slick looking since their inception and this year is no different in my opinion. However they cards look so much better in hand. I guess it's the rainbow sheen UV coating on the cards that make them hard to scan. None the less I will be picking up the other Braves cards commemorating on field highlights as they are released.

  1. Nick is a solid undervalued player.

  2. Nice card. He definitely is Mr. Consistent. I'm sure people know he has over 2,000 hits. Until last year he was pretty much unknown to all but diehard baseball fans. Nice card.
