User Rating:

If you were born before the first George Bush was President, 2015 Topps High Tek Baseball is not old-school nostalgia. It's wild. It's bright. It's acetate. And foil. And full of out-there patterns. And if you're a fan of the brand, you probably wouldn't want it any other way. After making a comeback last year, the product once again comes packaged as a single-pack box that includes one autograph.

All of the 2015 Topps High Tek Baseball base cards come with several variations, each differentiated by the background patterns. In 2014, these patterns came with a tiered structure where some were much more plentiful than others and parallels were only available for the main one. Pattern 1 cards once again get the full parallel treatment with Purple Diffractors, Confetti Diffractors, Tidal Diffractors, Gold Rainbow, Clouds Diffractors (#/25), Red Orbit Diffractors (#/5), Black Rainbow (1/1), Black Galactic Diffractors (1/1) and Printing Proofs (1/1). Parallels combine to land one per box. This time around, a couple of the patterns, Red Orbit Diffractors and Black Galactic Diffractors, are available for additional pattern variations.

Autographs in 2015 Topps High Tek Baseball are all signed on-card. High Tek Autographs are essentially signed versions of the base cards. Signers are a mix of veterans, rookies and retired players. Numbered parallels are available in the form of Tidal Diffractors, Gold Rainbow, Clouds Diffractor (#/25), Red Orbit Diffractor (#/5), Black Galactic Diffractor (1/1) and Printing Proofs (1/1).

Bright Horizons Autographs comes with signatures from MLB's young stars and rookies. The horizontal design incorporates skylines. Red Orbit Diffractors (#/5) and Black Galactic Diffractors (1/1) are the only parallels.

Tek Buybacks deliver autographs on original Topps Tek cards from the brand's first run, which lasted from 1998 to 2000.

2015 Topps High Tek Baseball has a pair of basic inserts as well. DramaTEK Performers is a throwback to the insert from 2000 Topps Tek. Low-Tek Diffractors use the same design as last year to create 15 new cards. Select players in both insert sets have signed versions that are numbered to 25.

Product Configuration: 1 pack per box, 8 cards per pack, 12 cases per box
Price Point: Mid- to High-End Baseball Card
Target Audience: Player Collectors, Tek Fans, Autograph Collectors

Apparently the Dellin Betances Cloud Diffractor autos are only #’d /15, not 25

I like these acetate cards and they are brightly colored but have some wild designs and I was just wondering why the non numbered patterns aren’t discussed in the product details as far as scarcity? Maybe you could bring things up to date Trey by explaining the different levels of patterns of the non serial numbered cards to determine their scarcity. You’ve always done such great work as far as knowledge and helping people out with their questions about any specific set as you have a wealth of knowledge on this matter. Perhaps perhaps you could explain the different non serial numbered pattern scarcity a little bit more. I should sure would appreciate it if you did. Thanks very much, Jim

Still waiting on my Jung-ho Kang from a couple years ago in this product, did he sign at all?

It took from December 2015 until last week (August 2017) to get it, but it was worth the wait. A black Galactic Diffractor autograph of Kris Bryant 1/1.

I pulled a Willie Mays Galactic Refractor autographed serial 1/1 and sent it in.
Still waiting!!!!!!

I love this product. The cards are like no other out there. Very unique. I bought into a break and got an auto and some base. But even the base cards are cool. If you want to buy two boxes so you can sell the good stuff you’re always taking a chance. If you like collecting unique products, I highly recommend.

Al Castle, you give a 1 star for a product just because you made your own decision to open your wallet and take the risk of getting what you consider to be a “dud box?” You do realize that there are boxes out there that are actually worse than what you got, right? You also realize that this is a collector’s market, not a speculator’s market, right?

Giving a 5 star just to off-set the average user rating after a totally unfair and uncalled-for rating.

Opened two cases, very disappointed. Got one each Trout and Harper base card. Best autograph was Kuber /5. No big names purple or other variations. Will not buy again.

In the case break I just watched 4 out of 13 autos (1 box had 2 autos) were Cubs. Good if you bought the Cubs, which all depends on how fast you can jump on them when site lists the break. Cub autos: Soler, Baez, Mark Prior and Mark Grace. 2 Chris Sale Autos, 1 #/25. A Correa and Biggio Auto for ‘Stros. Grissom auto for Expos (Nats). B. Buxton redemption for Parallel auto. Maikel Franco auto. R. Castillo auto for Red Sox. I forget the last one. Good news? The case had many of big RC autos. Wish they had more serial numbered patterns in a case. I think there is 1 per box but many didn’t seem remarkable. Purple is unnumbered but looks like a short print. I had 3 teams…no soup for me! lol. $70 a box for 1 “hit”…hmmmmmm. I thought there were too many base dupes for a a case with what? 8 cards a box?
