It’s a brand new year and what lies ahead in the ever-shortening distance is the first series of the next annual installment of Topps’ flagship baseball card product. This much anticipated set is expected to land on shelves at the end of this month at a fairly typical price point.
This year’s set’s theme is “The Chase” and does not appear to deviate much from the standard that Topps has established in the past few years. With a base set of 330, multiple styles of parallels for each base card, and a multitude of insert sets, Topps is sticking with what works. Making a return is the popular retro minis–this go around featuring the memorable 1972 design.
Rounding out the set are the usual suspects of die cuts, autos and relics as well as a newer staple in Topps products–the manufactured relic, featuring mini trophies and coins. Topps is also providing yet another online code redemption program with “The Million Dollar Chase.”
