Frequently asked
Who's 2023 Topps World Baseball Classic for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What's the main draw of this product?
Every box has one autograph or autograph relic guaranteed. The base autograph set has 40 players at 1:3 packs, so you're very likely to pull a signed card. Stars like Mike Trout, Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani, and Ronald Acuña Jr. are all in the checklist.
How many cards are in the base set?
100 cards total, representing all 20 countries that competed in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. Thirty of those cards have Image Variations with different photos.
What are the base card parallels?
Seven levels: Cracked Ice Foil (/99), Green Sparkle Foil (/75), Gold Rainbow Foil (/50), Orange Cracked Ice Foil (/25), Black Diffractors (/10), Red Hot Foil (/5), and Foilfractors (1/1). The rarest ones are numbered very low.
What's the difference between regular Autographs and International Gems Autographs?
Regular Autographs are 1:3 packs and feature 40 different players. International Gems are much rarer at 1:343 packs and feature only eight premium players (Trout, Soto, Ohtani, Acuña, Cabrera, Freeman, Rodríguez, Turner), all numbered to /10.

It's a one-per-pack insert featuring team captains and star players. Since you get one 10-card pack per box, you're guaranteed to pull one Captains card.
