Fans and collectors will be hoping things are back to normal in the sports world by the time 2020 Topps Gold Label baseball is scheduled to reach the market. Set for release the week before Labor Day, Gold Label makes its annual return about a month and a half earlier than last year’s product.
It’s the fifth edition of Gold Label since the 1990s brand returned to the Topps calendar.
Each pack will have five cards with seven packs per hobby box and 16 boxes per case.
2020 Topps Gold Label Base Set
Each base card is designed to have a posed image and an action shot of the player. Current stars, rookies and retired greats will make up the 100-card base set checklist but there will be three different versions to collect as well as four different parallels of each. Class 1 will be the most common. Each pack will have one Class 2 version and Class 3 versions will fall one in every other pack.
