Frequently asked
What's the big rookie in this set?
Shohei Ohtani's rookie card is #200, the final card in the base set. Rafael Devers (#2) is also a key rookie. Both have parallels and are the main chase cards for collectors.
Is this product good for building a complete base set?
Yeah, that's the whole point. The 200-card base is affordable to complete compared to flagship Topps Series 1. It's designed for kids and casual collectors who don't want to spend hundreds of dollars.
Are there autographs in every box?
No. Autographs are rare bonus pulls with no box guarantees. Opening Day Autographs run about 1:701 packs, and Mascot Autographs are even tougher at 1:1,560 packs. Don't buy this product expecting hits.
What inserts come in every pack?
Every pack has one insert. There are several themes: Opening Day (moments from 2017 season openers), Before Opening Day (Spring Training), National Anthem, Team Traditions & Celebrations, Stadium Signatures, Dugout Peeks, and Opening Day Stars Stickers. Mascots also return as a fun insert set.
What are the base card parallels?
Opening Day Edition parallels are numbered /2018 and pull at 1:9 packs. There's also a 1/1 Opening Day Edition and Printing Plates (1/1, four versions per card: Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). Plus 30 variation short prints with alternate photos.
How does the design compare to flagship Topps?
The design is virtually identical to 2018 Topps Series 1, just with the MLB Opening Day logo added to the front. It's a simplified, kid-friendly aesthetic.
What stars are in the base set?
Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Kris Bryant, Mookie Betts, Bryce Harper, Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, and Giancarlo Stanton are all in there. It's a solid mix of established names and young talent.
