A couple of notes on the tasks for the September Monthly Awards Guide. One, the Monthly Awards Flashbacks of France, Irvin, Munoz, Reynolds, Urias, and Pena can be obtained via the Monthly Awards and Topps Now Mini Seasons.

Second, the Event for the Naquin, Tatis Jr. and O’Neill cards cards will be active through October 13. The requirements are Captain, Live Series, Topps Now, and Monthly Awards cards..

Third, the Topps Now cards are optional for this program. However, those who have the six 97 OVR cards from the September Topps Now Program, plus the 99 OVR Topps Now Wainwright will have an easier time completing this one.
