AL East champion Boston Red Sox get Topps Now team set

The newest Topps Now team set brings Big Papi along for the ride and so much more.

With the Boston Red Sox clinching the American League East title, Topps has unveiled a new take on its real-time baseball card program with another team set.

The Red Sox are the sixth postseason-bound team to get a set released as an extended part of the program with the sets costing $49.99.

You can get a Big Papi VISA — but it doesn’t come with a Big Papi limit

Twelve Major League Baseball players have granted their likenesses to be used as part of a prepaid debit card program that lets diehard fans have yet another card of their favorite and lets them show it off every time they make a purchase.

So, in other words, your Big Papi VISA doesn’t come with big-league cash — unless you put it there.

David Ortiz is among the players partnered with the True Stars Fan Club, an MLBPA-approved venture that promises baseball-related rewards and benefits to those who sign up for the program.
