Yasiel Puig’s dramatic three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning of Game 4 of the 2018 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox was a moment worthy of capturing on a baseball card. It just wasn’t a card most Dodgers fans wanted to pay $9.99 for in the immediate aftermath of that game, as the Red Sox came back to win 9-6 on their way to winning the series four games to one.Puig’s home run was the basis for a Topps Now card, No. 947 in the company’s print-to-order series commemorating notable moments and performances in which individual cards are only sold for a limited time. In the fall of 2018, only 446 Puig home run cards were purchased, so that’s how many were printed (Topps Now print runs generally range from a few hundred up to a few hundred thousand, depending on the player and the moment).The front of Yasiel Puig’s 2018 World Series home run Topps Now card doesn’t reveal much as to why it’s so valuable now.

In 2022, it sold for around $150 to $200, but over the last couple of years, it’s jumped into the thousands, peaking with its most recent sale on May 8 for $6,000 — Puig’s second-highest card sale ever behind his one-of-one 2013 Bowman Chrome autographed Superfractor that sold for $18,000 when he was still a hot prospect in 2014.
