Frequently asked
What's the main chase in this product?
Autographs are the headline hit, appearing in 1 of every 3 boxes. Nearly 40 different signers are possible, including stars like Ronald Acuña Jr., Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Masataka Yoshida. The new Golden Hour insert is also ultra-rare at 1:22.5 boxes, featuring 10 of the league's biggest names on gold foil stock, each numbered to 50.
How do the parallels work?
Base cards come in seven parallel tiers: Color Photo Negative /99, Sepia Filter /75, Background Color /49, Night Vision /25, Player Color /10, Silver Foil /5, and Full Color 1/1. Insert cards like Frame Rate, Shutter Speed, and Rookie Resolution also have Night Vision /25, Silver Foil /5, and Full Color 1/1 parallels.
What are the short prints?
There are 20 Image Variation Short Prints at 1:3.75 boxes, plus 10 Super Short Print versions of those same cards at 1:45 boxes. These feature alternate photography of key players like Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, and Ronald Acuña Jr. There's also a Box Art Short Print at 1:22.5 boxes.
What rookies are in the set?
The 100-card base set includes a generous rookie contingent. Key 2023 rookies featured are Corbin Carroll, Gunnar Henderson, Anthony Volpe, Adley Rutschman, and Masataka Yoshida. Many of these also appear in the Rookie Resolution insert set.
What legends are included?
The set blends current stars with all-time greats. Hall-of-Famers and retired legends include Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Cal Ripken Jr., Mark McGwire, George Brett, Johnny Bench, Rickey Henderson, and others. This gives the set broad appeal beyond just chasing modern rookies.
How is this different from regular Topps releases?
Black & White is an online exclusive with a limited print run, so it's much harder to pull than standard retail sets. The full-bleed photography and monochrome design give it a cinematic, premium feel. The new Golden Hour insert and Image Variation short prints are exclusive to this product.
