TOPPY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 12 points
It depends on the list you play by. TOPPY is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 12 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does TOPPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalBritish
Strong enough to go to the head, as of a drink, or dangerously close to a market's highest point.
The oldest sense of toppy describes a drink strong or heady enough to affect the drinker quickly, an image built on the idea of a drink going straight to the top, meaning the head. Financial writers later borrowed the same word for a market or price that looks close to its peak and likely to fall, so a toppy share price is one that seems overdue for a drop.
