Topps NOW has launched a special edition card to honor Pete Alonso’s achievement as the New York Mets’ all-time home run leader, following his 253rd home run on August 12th. The card, titled

“Polar Power! New York Mets HR King After 253rd Longball,”

marks a historic milestone in both Alonso’s career and the Mets franchise.

Available for only 24 hours, this limited-time release gives fans and collectors a unique chance to acquire a key piece of Mets history through the 2025 Topps NOW collection.

Details and Features of the Pete Alonso Home Run Card

Collectors who order the card will receive an open-edition base version. However, the real allure lies in various parallel versions and autograph redemptions. Among these, only five autograph redemptions will be issued, and the most prized item is a 1/1 Autograph Relic card featuring the inscription “Mets HR King!” along with a swatch of Alonso’s batting glove.

Additional foil parallel options include a Gold Foil limited to 50 copies, Orange Foil at 25, Black Foil at 10, Red Foil at 5, and an ultra-rare 1/1 Foil Fractor. Each of these variations offers collectors different levels of exclusivity.

Chances, Market Value, and Appeal to Fans and Collectors

Any of the premium foil or autograph cards can replace the base card within an order. The odds of receiving these coveted variations depend on the total print run, which suggests that many of the parallels and autograph cards will hold significant value in the secondary market.

This release appeals not only to Mets fans and card collectors but also to those specifically interested in Pete Alonso memorabilia. It provides an opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind collectible tied to a record-breaking moment in Mets history.
