2023 Topps Series 2 Preview, Checklist

May 24, 2023 By Bob D'Angelo

Topps continues to use the same formula it has for years in its flagship baseball set. 2023 Series 2 Baseball will be a continuation of what collectors found in Series 1, with some new rookies and inserts thrown into the mix. The product is scheduled to go live the week of June 7.

A hobby box will feature 24 packs, with 14 cards to a pack. Every hobby box will also contain a bonus Silver Pack. Topps is promising either an autograph or relic card in each hobby box.

Jumbo boxes will have 10 packs, with 46 cards to a pack. Each jumbo will include one autograph card, one relic, a hobby exclusive manufactured item card, two silver packs and one box topper.

Base set

Like Series 1, the 2023 Topps Series 2 product will feature 330 cards (Nos. 331 to 660). The set will continue to showcase veterans and top rookies.

Future Stars and team cards will also return.

As expected, there are plenty of parallels.

A jumbo exclusive is a Gold Foil parallel, which will be printed on gold foilboard. They are inserted in every other jumbo pack. Also exclusive to jumbos are Black parallels numbered to 72.

Other parallels include Rainbow Foil, which fall one in every 10 packs. Gold parallels will be numbered to 2023, followed by Green Rainbow Foil (499), Orange Rainbow Foil (299), Red Rainbow Foil (199), Vintage Stock (99), Independence Day (76), Mother’s Day Hot Pink (50), Father’s Day Powder Blue (50), Memorial Day Camo (25), and a hobby exclusive Clear Variation (10) that features 100 subjects.

Printing plates and Platinum parallels are 1/1 offerings.

Golden Mirror SSP variation cards are available for every card in the set. You may recall the $250,000 bounty and resulting chase for a full set from Series 1.

Making its debut in Series 2 are 1/1 Art Card sketch parallel cards, featuring hand-drawn art by Luke the Cardist. These cards are extremely rare and can be found in 1 of every 12,145 jumbo packs.

Inserts

As it did in Series 1, Topps takes a step back 35 years and takes a look at the 1988 set for some of its insert sets.

All-Star baseball is a new 50-card set that features the game’s biggest stars and names from the past.

Parallels can be found in Blue (limited to 600), Black (numbered to 299), Gold (75), Red (10) and Platinum (1/1).
