2019 Topps Museum Collection makes its return on June 19. The annual release features a smallish base set but the big attraction are the autographed relic cards. A full checklist and links to find it for sale are below.
Here’s a look at what will be part of the product:
2019 Topps Museum Collection Basics
Each box will have 20 cards in all– four five-card packs per box with 12 boxes in a case. Each pack will have three base cards, one parallel and one hit. Each box (likely landing at $190-$200) is guaranteed to yield one autograph, one auto relic, one Quad Relic and one Prime Relic.
Base Set
Look for 100 cards in the base set with top rookies, veterans and retired greats on the checklist. These parallels will be along for the ride:
• Copper
• Sapphire – #’d to 150
• Amethyst – #’d to 99
• Ruby – #’d to 50
• Emerald – #’d 1 of 1
Autographed Cards
Archival Autographs will feature over 60 retired, veteran, and rookie players with on-card autographs. Parallels include:
• Copper – #’d to 50 or less
• Gold – #’d to 25 or less
• Emerald – #’d 1-of-1
Museum Framed Autographs will be what Topps calls “the cornerstone of the collection” but they’ll be case hits. These will feature autographs from top players with the cards inside metal frames. Look for:
• Sliver Frame – #’d to 15
• Gold Frame – #’d to 10
• Black Frame – #’d to 5
• Wood Frame – #’d 1-of-1
Dual and Triple on-card autographs will also carry very low serial numbers. Look for around 20 on the Dual checklist and 10 on the Triple.
Autographed Relic Cards
Museum Framed Autograph Patch Cards will contain on-card autos and game-worn patch pieces. All are numbered 1/1 with the checklist expected to include around 30 players. New this year are Dual Autograph Patch Book Cards with a checklist of 15 cards featuring two current stars. Again, all are 1/1.
