Frequently asked
What are the key rookie cards in Series 2?
The set has 60 rookies, ten more than Series 1. The marquee names are Alex Kirilloff of Minnesota and Ke'Bryan Hayes of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both have multiple parallel versions and are among the most sought cards from the product.
What's the difference between a hobby box and a hobby jumbo box?
Hobby boxes have 24 packs of 14 cards each and deliver one hit (autograph, memorabilia, or manufactured relic). Hobby jumbo boxes have 10 packs of 46 cards each and guarantee one autograph, one memorabilia card, and one manufactured relic, plus exclusive Chrome 70 Years of Topps cards in a box topper pack.
How many parallel versions are there?
There are a ton. Common ones include Rainbow Foil (1:10 hobby), Gold (/2021), Vintage Stock (/99), Independence Day (/76), Black (/70), and Platinum Anniversary (/70). Scarcer versions include Father's Day Blue (/50), Mother's Day Pink (/50), Memorial Day Camo (/25), Printing Plates (1/1), and 70th Anniversary (1/1).
What's the Home Run Challenge?
One card per box has a code on the back. You predict the date the player on the front hits a home run, and if you're right, Topps mails you a special parallel card. It's a fun interactive element that keeps the product interesting after opening.
Are there autographs in regular hobby boxes?
Hobby boxes have one hit that could be an autograph, memorabilia card, or manufactured relic. The exact odds aren't published, so autographs are not guaranteed. Hobby jumbo boxes do guarantee one autograph, plus a memorabilia card and manufactured relic.
What retro insert sets are in Series 2?
Two main ones: 70 Years of Topps uses designs inspired by past decades of Topps Baseball, and 1986 Topps Baseball recreates the specific 1986 design. Both have autograph versions and multiple parallels. Chrome versions of 70 Years are exclusive to hobby jumbo box toppers.
What are Sketch Cards?
Sketch cards are exclusive to hobby and hobby jumbo packs. Among them are 70 Shaped Sketch Cards with a die-cut silhouette of the Topps logo. They're hand-drawn or illustrated cards that add a unique visual element to the product.
