There may be snow on the ground, but the first release of the upcoming baseball season is a sure sign that spring is approaching. The set follows the well known pattern by this point, with a 350 card base set.
Once again, Topps brings back the First Pitch insert set featuring various celebrities, along with the rest of the usual parallels. The parallels seem a lot more rare now, which may not bode well for over producing the set. This year, there is a tribute to the 1987 Topps set, with a large insert set, as well as associated autograph cards. As a special add on, Topps ran a promo for hobby box purchases from hobby stores to include additional special packs, featuring chrome 1987 cards and various parallels.
The box advertises 10 packs with 50 cards each, including 1 autograph and 2 relics per box.
This box contained:
437 Base (100% of 350 card set)
1 Black Base Parallel
1 Blue Base Parallel
3 Gold Base Parallel
5 Base Rainbow Foil Parallel
