The black-borders are back. An online exclusive, 2020 Topps Ginter X Baseball was released this week, with Montgomery Club members getting first crack at it Wednesday, followed by the general public on Thursday.
Ginter X is essentially a darker version of the regular set, with its own parallels and autographs. Each box holds 17 packs, with eight cards per pack.
Every box will have one Framed Autograph from a checklist that includes over 100 players as well as a sizeable list of non-baseball subjects. Topps is limiting purchases to one box per person.
As with the regular Ginter product, the Ginter X base set has 300 cards plus 50 additional short prints. There are mini versions for every base card.
Ginter X boxes offer black, red (# to 5) and 1/1 silver parallels.
The autograph checklist includes Luis Robert, Bo Bichette and Cavan Biggio, Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto, Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, Christian Yelich, Frank Thomas and Cal Ripken Jr.
Boxes quickly sold out on Topps’ website Thursday afternoon. They’re now available on eBay.
