Not a piece of lousy plastic. No cards for #364 or #565.*. Bought one 72-card hanger box and pulled a Buster Posey #’d to 99, Major League Material and a Camo Memorial Day Eric Thames. This 30-card insert identifies the current players likely to enjoy a lasting legacy. Flagship rarely has much value by the box because production is massive and most of the cards aren't rare. 2018 Topps Baseball Cards Complete Sets 2018 Topps Baseball Cards Complete Sets – The cornerstone of every baseball fan’s collection, 2018 Topps Baseball Complete Sets contain base cards #1-700 from Series 1 & Series 2.

If that votto is any indication of the memorial camo cards I can say they are ridiculously ugly. PARALLEL CARDS: Black #/99 or less, Gold #/50 or less, Red #/25 or less, Platinum 1/1 (Hobby/Jumbo).

It would be nice if they averaged more like 2-3 per box, though. Happ is not a 2018 rookie. Ohtani on the other hand should have his rookie card in series 2. I do like the ’83 Topps design, but 100 cards? Thanks! I really like this set and all the subsets. I feel like it could be estimated by using the odds per pack on a serial number card and multiplying by the amount of cards in the set. With Topps, you pretty much know what you’re paying for and what to expect. Any idea on the initial prize for the Home Run Heros cards? Every Hobby edition of 2018 Topps Baseball Complete Set comes with a five-card pack of the parallels, each numbered to 190 copies.Complete Set of the 2018 Topps Series; 700 cards plus 5 Rookie Image variation cards, 1 exclusive chrome rookie relic card!

In the Bryant I got 2 blue & 1 black and for Jeter I got 7 blue & 4 black. Would like to see return of team photos & sub sets of league leaders & playoffs like they did in the 1970’s on back.

While it is less obtrusive in comparison to the 2017 design that juts into the image, the nameplate does seem to draw more attention, which might not appeal to the purists. Something went wrong. Insert overkill and way too many variations. Yeh, I have to keep on saying this because you people don’t want to do something to correct the problem. Not lovin’ that. BTW, the purple parallel in my area is marketed as exclusive to Meijer stores, not Toys R Us. or rookie and current star possible future hof autos like Trout, Harper, Bellinger, ect.. considered garbage? Once again, little effort from Topps on products that are marketed to collectors instead of the big money breakers crowd. Not sure of the cut off times but I don’t expect Torres or Acuna to have rookie cards in this set and will most likely be put into the final update set. Providing signed editions for many of the inserts previously noted, plus a few extra treats, 2018 Topps Series 1 Baseball has quite a few autograph sets. because…. To me, Salute is old news and it's disappointing to see it back again with nothing of substance added. Topps has single-handedly destroyed what little long-term value for every card made after around 2005 or so. So… Topps is NEVER going back to having borders? The design is not horrendous, but its on the south side of average for sure. Also annoyed with the social media handle and/or empty space rather than complete career stats. Worst dilution ever. A ribbon of color swirls around the name and team info, which tapers away as the pixels appear to float off the card. The one-of-one Cut Signature inserts also return. Re-reading this I realize I sound like a grumpy old man (Get off my lawn!). According to Topps, the base SP variations for Acuna/Torres are in both Hobby and Retail boxes.

Finally, manufactured Topps Team MVP Medallions and MLB All-Star Game Logo Patch cards, which display the actual design used by specific players during their All-Star appearance, are only found in Hobby/Jumbo boxes. I get a case of jumbos. I sincerely hope that if anyone is reading this that works for Topps, that they will resume the THREE player League LeaderS card, instead of the single League LeadeR card that they wasted on us last year. I hope that they’ll have a checklist card or base of Albert Pujols with his 600 home run. Here are the top deals on jumbo boxes currently listed on eBay. I guess that is because nobody else complains. Make them affordable for true baseball card collectors. 6 cards. Anyone else having some trouble trying to figure out insert parallels? Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Not saying anything about the 1/1 cut autos of names like Williams, Cobb, Robinson, ect..

Ok, not a major arguement against, but here’s one: it seems that everyone who posts in comments/forums last year spoke out against the format last year. Is it significant? That would sure fire a lot of people up! Excessive inserts and now parallels of inserts.

Taking the 350 base cards from Series 1, including rookie cards for Rafael Devers and Rhys Hoskins, and adding 352 cards from Series 2 featuring Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuna and Gleyber Torres, the 700-card box set (702 with the late adds for Torres and Acuna) offers a little more excitement with the Foilboard exclusives.

Mail (will not be published) (required), *Multiple cards found for #365 and #564. C’mon Topps get a clue as to who is actually out there playing the game! The swish sort of reminds me of 2014 topps. Wonder who will be portrayed on the usual photo variation cards that people love to chase. Also, given how last year went, I'm glad the stamped buyback trend did not extend to 2018. Show me some minor league stats. I’m new with baseball. My recommendation to collectors is to order the boxes way ahead of time. My 2018 Series 1 was so bad I considered giving it up. I mean one whole insert set is 70% Judge cards. The 2018 Topps Series 1 Baseball variations include short prints (SP) and super short prints (SSP). Sure they’ll eventually all be used, but why not start repeating then instead of 4x in 6yrs now? Thanks again, Jim.

Too many pointless insert sets, again, and equally pointless photo variations. Going patriotic, the manufactured MLB Independence Day US Flag Patch set (Blaster only) combines the stars and stripes with baseball's elite. The point is, you open a pack and 25% of the cards aren’t base cards it makes it pretty hard to get the whole base set. Not a bad looking product, but not my favorite design from Topps, although I do like the design better than last year. Product Configuration: Hobby - 10 cards per pack, 36 packs per box, 12 boxes per case I wish Topps could prepare for something different besides base card designs? My main problem is that I like sets that draw me back, and this mostly felt like just a big stack of cards. Serial numbered #/10 or less. The hits were blah. Wish I knew they were going to do this before plunking down $$ for multiple packs containing duplicates. and retail boxes and have not pulled any. A few good hits but nothing that made me jump out of my seat. A waste of $60. Hoping the prize is something cool and worth while. Topps never issued the official odds for Acuna/Torres, but info from breakers indicates about one per case. I did like the parallels, though. That’s the main issue with this product – the quality of the card itself…or lack of. Pretty much the same old product line that Topps has been shelling out. Cards Specialist - On-Site or Remote (In WA State) Position, Upcoming Card Shows & Appearances (Continually Updated). I pulled one and it has no numbering. It feels like every set that isn't only hits has 50-100 variations and saturation is really setting in.
