Frequently asked

What makes this product different from regular Topps releases?
Archives Snapshots uses photos from Topps' own vault instead of standard image providers, so many shots are either seldom seen or completely new to cards. It's an online-exclusive release that digs into the company's archives for both the photos and the eclectic player mix.
Who are the key autograph signers?
The 33-card base autograph checklist includes Mike Trout, Juan Soto, and Aaron Judge alongside retired Hall of Famers like Cal Ripken Jr., Edgar Martinez, and Kerry Wood. Rookies like Alec Bohm, Brady Singer, and Bobby Dalbec also have autographs, reflecting the product's random, multi-generational feel.
What's the base set like?
It's small at just 50 cards, with almost half being rookies and the rest a mix of current stars, retired players, and second-tier vets. There's no real theme to who's included, which gives it an eclectic feel compared to typical releases.
What parallel tiers are there?
Base cards have Black and White (1 per box), Blue (/50), Negative Inverse (/25), Gold Border (/10), and Black Border (1/1). Autographs have the same tiers plus Negative Inverse (/100). Tintype Titans inserts also have parallels at similar print runs.
How much did boxes cost at release?
582 Montgomery Club members got first access on September 21 at $25 per box with a five-box limit. The general public followed the next day at the same price.
Is there anything special about the Tintype Titans insert?
Tintype Titans is the only standard insert set, hitting at 1:2 packs with 25 base cards and 13 autographed versions. It features a mix of rookies and established names, with its own parallel tiers ranging from /50 down to 1/1.
