2023 Topps 582 Montgomery Club 20-Card Set

The Topps 582 Montgomery Club has been scaled back quite a bit for 2023.

Members this year receive (1) 20-card set in the Spring, and the Montgomery Club stamped factory set in the Fall.

Club members also get first access to buy these 2023 products:

• 2023 Bowman Chrome Baseball Sapphire
• 2023 Topps Chrome Baseball Sapphire
• 2023 Topps Chrome Star Wars Sapphire
• 2023 Topps Chrome Bundesliga Sapphire
• 2023 Topps Finest Flashbacks Baseball
• 2023 Topps Chrome Garbage Pail Kids Sapphire

The design Topps went with reminds me a lot of 1990 Topps Baseball mixed in with some of the graphics from the opening credits to Saved By The Bell.

Given that this is the only 20-card set club members will receive this year, I believe Topps should have done something BIG for this set. It would have been cool to see a 20-card Topps Chrome Sapphire set made just for club members featuring players/managers/mascots who have never had cards printed on Topps Chrome Sapphire stock before.

Here is the checklist for the 20-card set:

• Michael Harris II RC #1
• Mike Trout #2
• Aaron Judge #3
• Justin Verlander #4
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. #5
• Jacob deGrom #6
• Gunnar Henderson RC #7
• Jeremy Peña #8
• Julio Rodriguez #9
• Shohei Ohtani #10
• Juan Soto #11
• Mookie Betts #12
• Masataka Yoshida RC #13
• Adley Rutschman RC #14
• Dansby Swanson #15
• Riley Greene RC #16
• Bobby Witt Jr. #17
• Triston Casas RC #18
• Wander Franco #19
• Kodai Senga RC #20

Torkelson, Witt, & Rodriguez 2022 Topps 582 Montgomery Club Stamped Rookies Arrive

Members of the Topps 582 Montgomery Club were a little disappointed when they opened their club-exclusive factory set to find that rookie cards of Spencer Torkelson, Bobby Witt, Jr., and Julio Rodriguez did not include the 582 Montgomery Club stamp.

Topps made up for the mistake and sent members corrected versions of these three cards which just arrived.

IMPORTANT NOTE – The card stock used for these corrected versions is thicker when compared to the cards found in the 582 Montgomery Club factory set. Both sides of the corrected versions have a glossy finish too. Cards found in the factory set only have gloss on the front.

This officially wraps things up for the 2022 membership.

2023 Topps 582 Montgomery Club Details

Topps seems to be cutting back some of the benefits of their 582 Montgomery Club. The new details of the club for 2023 were announced this week.

The cost to renew your current membership is $149.99. For new members it will be $199.99.

Current members can renew their membership starting at 11:00 a.m. ET on 12/5/22 to 11:00 a.m. ET 12/7/22.

New memberships open up at 3:00 p.m. ET on 12/7/22 to 3:00 p.m. ET 12/9/22.

With the reduced price comes a reduced amount of sets. Members will receive (1) 582 Montgomery Club Factory Set (Fall 2023), and (1) 20-card set (Spring 2023).

Members will have early access to order the following list of products before the general public:

• 2023 Bowman Chrome Sapphire
• 2023 Topps Chrome Sapphire
• 2023 Topps Chrome Star Wars Sapphire
• 2023 Topps Chrome Bundesliga Sapphire
• 2023 Topps Finest Flashbacks Baseball
• 2023 Topps Chrome Garbage Pail Kids Sapphire

Products available for early access in this year’s membership will be limited to the products listed above.

Members are bound to the (1) membership/household rule; Topps reserves the right to cut off your membership at any point if you’re suspected to be exceeding the (1) membership per household limit and have not explicitly received permission in writing from Topps to do so.

Topps reserves the right to alter pricing and/or products at its sole discretion.

I plan to keep my membership. Last year to renew it cost $299.99, and $599.99 for new members. It would be cool to see that (1) 20-card set be some type of members-only Sapphire product. Throw in some managers and mascots.

Based on the way it sounds the products on the early access to order list is rock solid.

People who had more than (1) membership per household have already begun to get cut off from their membership.

Topps at least plans to keep this club around for another year. Beyond that who knows what will happen.

The Topps 582 Montgomery Club was never meant for people to flip sealed boxes on the secondary market. That was a side effect of Topps not knowing what to price certain products at, and crazy economic conditions. Topps has gotten smarter when it comes to pricing these online-exclusive products. And the economic conditions have changed drastically since 2020/2021.

I’ve always enjoyed the look of this set. The black card stock looks sharp.

2022 Topps Mini Baseball Now Available To 582 Montgomery Club Members

$24.99 per box with a (2) box limit.

2022 Topps 582 Montgomery Club Factory Set Update

When members of the Topps 582 Montgomery Club opened their exclusive factory set they were a little disappointed to see that key rookie cards of Bobby Witt Jr., Spencer Torkelson, and Julio Rodriguez did not come with the 582 Montgomery Club foil stamp printed on them.

Topps heard the disappointment and sent this e-mail out to members last night:

Members like myself were pleasantly surprised to see this e-mail. It sounds like members will be getting additional rookies of Bobby Witt Jr., Spencer Torkelson, and Julio Rodriguez with the foil stamp on them. I don’t think anyone saw this coming. When they arrive I’ll be sure to show them off.

2022 Topps 582 Montgomery Club Factory Set Arrives

The final perk of the 2022 Topps 582 Montgomery Club membership recently arrived. Last but not least is the 582 Montgomery Club foil-stamped factory set.

This factory set consists of (660) cards (Series 1 and 2) with each card containing the 582 Montgomery Club foil stamp.

A big FYI needs to be provided here. During the National Sports Collectors Convention Topps held their Q&A session. In that meeting they mentioned that despite Spencer Torkelson, Bobby Witt Jr., and Julio Rodriguez not having base rookies in Series 2 the 582 Montgomery Club factory set would have rookies of them. This is 100% true. But none of them come with the 582 Montgomery Club foil stamp. This isn’t a mistake of some kind. Topps did the same thing with the 2022 All-Star factory set too. Its a little disappointing, but kind of expected.

Current members should be notified shortly about when its time to renew. That’s assuming Topps continues the club. I enjoy the sets, and early access to online-exclusive products.

I have a suggestion for Topps. It would be cool to see some Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition cards of MLB mascots and managers. I don’t believe this has ever been done before. I’d like to see at least one of the sets shipped to club members throughout the year cover something like that.

2021 Topps Chrome Garbage Pail Kids Sapphire Edition Coming Tomorrow For 582 Montgomery Club Members

Members of the Topps 582 Montgomery Club will get early access to 2021 Topps Chrome Garbage Pail Kids Sapphire Edition tomorrow 9/20.

Artwork will be from the Original Series 3 & 4. 2020 boxes originally sold for $50. They now sell for $1k on the secondary market. I predict the 2021 product will be priced much higher out of the gate. Topps probably printed more as well.

2021/22 Topps Bundesliga Chrome Sapphire Edition Available To 582 Montgomery Club Members Tomorrow

Members of the Topps 582 Montgomery Club will have the option to buy 2021/22 Topps Bundesliga Chrome Sapphire Edition tomorrow 9/1.

2022 Topps 582 Montgomery Club Set #5 Autograph Arrives

Between 2022 Bowman Sapphire Edition, 2022 Topps Finest Flashbacks, and the missing autograph in Set #5 of the 2022 Topps 582 Montgomery Club membership, Topps has had some mishaps recently. I’m not sure what Fanatics is doing over there, but someone needs to take charge.

Topps had to send out the autographs separately to members of the 582 Montgomery Club. Here’s the autograph I received which was suppose to be included within Set #5 of the 2022 membership. Next up is the 2022 Topps 582 Montgomery Club Factory Set.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a Ke’Bryan Hayes autograph.
