Frequently asked
What are the key rookie cards in Series 2?
Anthony Volpe, Corbin Carroll, and Jordan Walker are the marquee rookies. Series 2 adds fresh rookie content to complement Series 1, so if you missed those guys in the first release, this is where to hunt them.
How many autographs or relics should I expect per box?
You'll get 1 autograph or relic card per box on average. It's a solid hit rate for a flagship product, though the specific player and type will vary.
What's the deal with the 1988 Topps inserts?
Topps is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the 1988 flagship set with 50 new cards using that classic design as inspiration, plus 50 All-Star variants. There are also autograph and relic versions of these retro cards, which is cool because on-card signatures aren't super common in modern Topps flagship.
How many parallels are there, and which ones are the hardest to pull?
There are a ton of parallels ranging from common (Rainbow Foil at 1:10 packs) to ultra-rare (Platinum 1/1 and Printing Plates 1/1). The numbered tiers like /25, /50, /99 are the sweet spot for collectors hunting scarce cards without going full 1/1.
What's included in a hobby box besides packs?
Each hobby box has 24 packs of 14 cards plus 1 Silver Pack. The Silver Pack is a bonus pack with special content, so you're getting a little extra value built in.
Are there any exclusive retail-only inserts I should know about?
Yes. Star of MLB and Stars of MLB Chrome are retail-exclusive, and Father's Day Commemorative Team Patch cards are only in blaster-style retail boxes. If you're strictly a hobby box buyer, you'll miss those.
How does Series 2 compare to Series 1?
Series 2 brings new rookies and veteran players that didn't make Series 1, so it's a natural continuation of the 660-card checklist. Both sets share the same design and parallel structure, so if you liked Series 1, Series 2 is more of the same with fresh faces.
When did 2023 Topps Series 2 come out?
It dropped June 7, 2023.
What's in a 2023 Topps Series 2 hobby box?
24 packs per box, 14 cards per pack
