In lieu of bubble gum sticks, Topps does something else unique and pretty sweet with baseball cards these days. The company created a line of cards called Topps Now. Whenever something noteworthy happens in baseball, Topps unveils a card commemorating that accomplishment — and the card is only available for 24 hours on Topps.com.
