2015 Topps Series 1 Baseball Cards

Very good set several good rookies in this set . I thank the design is good also.

I am looking for the commemorative No-Hitter Pin card checklist for the 2015 Topps Series 1

Have you ever heard of USA pride?
You really have no idea why Topps printing cards in China is a problem?!?
This is America’s pastime.
These cards should be made here in the United States. By Americans.
Just check the back of your cards.
Donruss, Upperdeck, Panini still print their cards in the United States of America.

Excellent product. Would have given it a 4, but there were quite a few lies early on told by users who, quite frankly, do not know what they are talkinga bout.

Topps has many different production facilities. Candies were produced in Hershey, PA, right down the road from where I live, until it went to Mexico. They have production facilities in Europe. And yes, they do produce some products in China.

Even if they were produced in China, I have no idea why that really matters.

I have not collected baseball cards in 20 years. I like these enough that I’m close to completing my first complete set. I really enjoy the parallels, even of players I’m not particularly fond of. The inserts I could do without. Very happy with the set.

I’ve been collecting cards since 1969 when there were no price guides. In fact, I didn’t discover price guides until around 1980 when Beckett published a mini-book.

It’s always been about collecting and not so much the value of the cards. When I first started you could purchase a pack of cards for a quarter. Now it’s $2.00 a pack for the same brand. Due to inflation, this is still below the price increase of purchasing a loaf of bread or a can of coffee.

Include the player unions, sports league licensing and the cost of a jersey or other relic and the cost of manufacturing the set increases.

I don’t care for this year’s design nor the sparkle variations that have been used the last two years, but I still enjoy the Topps product as a collector.

If you are purchasing this set for the value, then this set is not for you. You would be better off going to your local shop or e-Bay and purchasing the card that you are chasing.

While Topps did do a good job with the set and some of the exotic cards to chase they made one CRITICAL ERROR………US REGULAR PEOPLE CAN’T EVER GET ANY OF THEM!!!!!!!!!! It’s so bad this year that I’m 52 Packs in to series #2 and still haven’t pulled a single THING, INCLUDING A BASE KRIS BRYANT ROOKIE!!!!! I have up to 5 of certain players yet not a single Bryant???? I did pull ONE jersey card…..A “Career High” cheap jersey of a nobody!!! Nothing of any value let alone all of the damage to them!! When is Topps going to realize they were built up by us “Collectors” & WE CAN BRING THEM DOWN AT ANY POINT????? You would think they would have some type of “Quality Control” but in my area there is not a pack, box, etc… that is NOT TAMPERED WITH!!! I’ve been writing them for years letting them know how bad it’s getting around my area (South Western PA) yet they will not reply at all!!!!! They know people are going to continue buying this junk chasing those “Rare Hits” like Kris Bryant Auto’s knowing all 2 well they will never see one unless it’s on EBAY!!!!!! SMH

Base cards are “ok” and all the inserts make it worth a go. What I find irritating is that I got a Pennant Chase card and the code doesn’t work. Called Topps, was told to email them, two weeks+ later and still no response. The redeem website takes 10-Digit Codes and the pennant chase codes are apparently 8 digits. Either the redemption process is wrong or I got a “bum” card. Either way considering the chase cards are supposed to be so hard to get this is disappointing to the point that I won’t buy another pack.

as always an excellent product and fun to rip at less than $2.50 a pack.

I do have a question in regards to a pull I received. the card number is a world champion auto – WS Champ TBD3 redemption card. In return I actually received a Buster Posey Auto numbered 24/50 and the number on the back of the card is WCA-BP. Does anyone know if this was a replacement for 1 of the other players? I cannot find this card listed anywhere.

This is, for me, just average. I have to agree with Tim. The entire aspect of the trading card industry has become a rich mans game. Sure, topps needs (wants) to make a profit. But, we the collectors want to make base sets. I don’t bllody well care about inserts. I wish we’d go back to a simpler time where there weren’t any, and the hobby was affordable, and enjoyable. I’m fine with a auto or two, but not hundreds! I miss the good Ol days, when people didn’t care about money. 700 cards is nice, but makes it a challenge for us set builders. Even at my store, Bond’s Bonding collectibles, we mostly deal in sets. Not this modern hippie insert junk. Too expensive for kids, and there is that gambling aspect to it.

MOST PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY AGREE THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENTS .

I bought a jumbo pack at a local card shop and pulled a relic out of it science then my friend pulled a john smoltz auto and i pulled another relic I think tops 2015 is awesome!

Topps has problems honoring their redemptions. No follow-up after purchasing product. Customers have recommended not calling due to poor customer service who have lost redemptions after customer complaint. I have had to move to Panini.

I give you 3 this year.

I
sometimes like to buy care cards from Wal-Mart or target.
This year I have not seen blue cards for Wal-Mart cards and I have
Bought 5 boxes.also I have bought 2 boxes of target boxes and no green or yellow cards in those.I may not get a whole set of green,yellow or blue cards but I still like to collect them.

Love the product but found a mistake. On the Guilder Rodriguez card it says he was born on September 20th, 1990 when he was born on July 24th, 1983. Otherwise love this product, spent around $50 and almost have the base set plus some really cool inserts. Can’t wait for series 2!

I wasn’t going to build any more large sets however, I became bored so I am building this set as far as I can build it. By rights I am a master builder and after a certain period of time it gets harder to find the cards need to complete any topps master set. Overall, I really wish Topps stop putting out these very large sets and go back to the real old days of the 50’s & 60’s when sets were less than a 700-1000 cards. anyway, I do like the new look of this set and it does appear the pictures are no so stock prints which gives the hobby a fresh look when you change the player pictures each year instead of using the same picture over and over each year, making the hobby boring.

I am getting back into Baseball Collecting after being out for about 18 years. I am enjoying the look of the 2015 Topps set. I glad I am getting back in now.

Like the change in design this year. Bought a jumbo box, was able to get a complete set out of it. Sold a few inserts on ebay.

I’ve only been collecting for a few years now, mainly because I like keeping binders full of cards available for posterity to look at. I like the thought of my kids and I looking at players in 2012 and comparing them to the players in 2031. I think it’s better to think of the cards as relics of a game I love because it keeps records, it’s a quality product and it’s something fun I can do to interact with my kids and other people. I can go to a card show and meet with people, tell them what I’m looking for and make a trade. I can take my son into the local shop and the old guy behind the counter gives him candy and we talk about cards for a little bit. It’s not just about collecting, and it’s not a business venture. It’s a hobby. It’s a way you can socialize with other people. It’s a way you can build and work at completing something. I’m one of those completionists that wants to have the whole set, from one through however many they have in the core set.

However, that does lead me to the main downside to what the industry has become. I don’t do inserts, because there are just too many. I’m not lucky enough to get shiny autograph cards or anything like that. The “best” thing I’ve pulled out of a pack was a relic card from Josh Donaldson. Worth about $5, from what I understand. I try selling or trading all my inserts and duplicates so I can just have my 2012 binder with all the cards or my 2014 binder, but it makes it very hard on a shoestring budget to build. I’m still trying to fill the last gaps in my 2012 set. 2013 is coming along, but 2014 is in tatters. I used practically all my birthday money on cards this year, and now have to wait for some huge event so I can have some cash to get more. The industry has turned form a kid’s bubble gum hobby into a hobby that people need real money for. I saw a guy and his son at the local shop the other day, and the kid was debating over whether he should get one $35 ultra-shiny-autographed-with-something-stuck-inside-it card or the other. And here I’m thinking “where’s the fun in this?” That’s not fun. Building up a core set is fun. Having some parallels like the blacks, pinks and other colors is fun because it can add a lot of individual character to a collection. But do we really need so many different sets of insert sets? I don’t really care! They’re not the kind of thing that people will be looking at in 100 years and thinking “boy, this insert set is nice.” They’re going to be saying “Look at this set of 700 cards that someone put together. Let me compare Derek Jeter to the new shortstops.”

Come on, Topps. You’re playing to the market, not to what made you great. Not to what makes the hobby great.

And or got to mention…..I agree with Tim on his view outside of his thoughts on Ryan whom I do not know. The industry has become like buying lottery tickets……hope you win but you know you won’t!

David, sorry but look whose buying all this stuff….breakers whom can afford to buy 100 or more cases and sell the junk! Of course the card co are in it for the money…a 10 yr old could have told us that!

Period, making 80 variations of one player is insane!! Just like the new heritage with the bubblegum! Its just a plow to create more money for three businesses: 1) Card Companies 2) Grading Companies & 3) Selling Sites and we all know whom I’m talking about!! And a 4thcould be the breakers! Back in the day the only way to buy boxe were thru your local card store or shipping entity(hope I don’t need to name them)!

Cards are now being over produced just like the late 80’s & 90’s! And now you have kids/young adults doing this as a job and not getting a real job or life! It’s easier to break cases(which with technology the scams on the people buying into them)…. I mean look at how many on eBay have 3, 4, 5 plus accounts! Why do they need so many? Why does a supposedly lawyer need to stop doing that job to break cases? All of that has come from people I’ve talked to on there!

Period, this is a hobby for a select few and a job for most. Ill sell what I don’t want so that it hopefully helps someone get what they want and I can go buy something else I want! Just look at kris Bryant prices….he’s demanding more than trout cards! Unfortunately it’s the truth!

I also forgot to add the the packing of the cards is crappy. For any of you I will guarantee that for every Buster Posey card there is a Matt Kemp with it. Every farting time. Whatever happened to some randomness in the packing of the cards. There are combos in the packaging no matter where I bought cards. Once again very bad. You used to be able to buy a jumbo box and get a complete set. Not anymore

First off I really like the card designs. I was glad to see them move away from the very simple designs over the last 3 years. I do not mind the inserts. I would rather have an insert card than a collection of commons.
My HUGE complaint is with the card cuts. The cards are cut horribly. It took a lot of eye work just to find some good cards. The card borders suck. I would seriously ask that if you have an in with someone at topps Ryan, I would seriously ask them why the cuts are so bad. I have bought a lot of the cards. I have 10 of a lot of cards and it was seriously crappy eye work trying to find good cards for my sets. Some of the stuff I have left is seriously junk. I would not plan on sending any of the cards in for grading. As an example, in 2011 updates I have 7 Trout rookies. The worst grading on any of them was a 9. These cards I wouldn’t grade at all. That is how bad they are cut.

The boy and I have been having some fun putting this set together, we really like the look of most of the inserts. I personally don’t love the base card front design but the backs are clean and interesting. Lots of cool stuff to get but all we got out of the jumbo was a Black Border Aroldis Chapman and a Ian Kinsler auto…The rainbow foils should have been left out…hard to distinguish.

Why isn’t anyone from the best outfield in MLB (KC Royals) not featured in the Robbed set? What a joke. Cain, Gordon, Dyson, etc., were daily highlight reels.

When I stopped putting $ values on cards is when I began to enjoy the hobby of collecting. Give me a base series set of my Detroit Tigers over some over produced game used relic card of another teams athlete who I could care less about and I am thrilled. Collecting my favorite team without values attached has given me more enjoyment in the hobby then I have ever had before. I began my collecting way back in the 70’s. As my son says ‘back in the day’ lol

Am I missing something? I can’t seem to find the AL Strikeout Leaders Card……is that in Series Two?

Gordon Murphy, I didn’t start collecting for the third time until about 5 years ago. I like many have the stories of my mom throwing my cards out when I was 10 or 11, then trying to get my son interested in collecting in the late eighties, and then most recently went at it strong after getting cancer and subsequent treatment in the late nineties. I only collect baseball and Nascar (well, so long Press Pass). I have all the Nascar sets that were issued. I decided to start with the 69 Topps set because of the number of hall of famers in it. I’ve upgraded it about 4 times. Lets face it, the production of cards has gotten so good, the quality is just almost always perfect. I am partial to Topps probably because of their longevity. They have put out some questionable cards from time to time, but overall I don’t see how anyone can really complain about them. They are about the most economical cards on the market. The 2015 set is no different. While I also collect Bowman Chrome, I always like to see the Topps set issued because I look at it as the official beginning of the new collecting season.

Hate the border. HATE. Mike Smith I am a collector like you- have every set since 1967 (and most of 66 but the high numbers are ridiculous) and it’s FUN! I had to sell some T206 and Goudeys for a divorce but I love topps the best, it’s a link to my youth, those old sets weren’t. Nice post.

Just had to comment on your response to Tim White. As I read his initial post and then your response, I got the feeling Tim had just spent his entire paycheck on 2015 Topps, got nothing substantial he could sell, and just went over the top when his utilities were disconnected for non-payment. I am one of those people he said doesn’t exist, as I have every set of Topps Baseball from 1969 to present, in Ultra Pro binders and Ultra Pro Platinum sheets, filling up two walls in my mancave. 2015 Toops is not my all time favorite, but in everything I have collected, it is by far not the worst or ugliest. I too think Topps has overcooked the insert sets…..enough! Also, my closest hobby shop is over 65 miles from me, so most of my stuff comes from retail or ebay.

For all you Joe Panik lovers here, I just pulled a Career High auto of him. Anyone interested in it (not a fan myself), feel free to hit me up in the forum under username – Fantazzle.com

I love the borders not being white but the “Snow Camo,” cards could use some work.

Think a little harder before making ill informed comments. Some of us do just collect and card companies are there to make money, not to make Tim wealthy and happy.

WELL SAID DAVE- I chose not to buy this product because of all the sticker autos. Oh wait you mean I had a choice ! Hey Tim, I guess you dont have to buy Topps if you dont want to ! Next time wait, check what the breaks are providing….then buy or not!

Tim, I have bought cards off and on since 1978. I have never once sold a card. Every card I have gotten I have “collected”. Yes, I do look at the values and hope to get some major hits but that is just the icing on the cake for me.

Also, why do you think these card companies sell cards and boxes? Is it for the fun of it? No, they are in Business to make money. To make a profit. Get it? They are not a charity case. Do you know how much money they shell out every year to all the guys who sign autographs? You think that’s cheap?

Think a little harder before making ill informed comments. Some of us do just collect and card companies are there to make money, not to make Tim wealthy and happy.

i recently started to collect again and collect steve garvey cards and shocked how many there are…hows barry larkin and andre dawson and craig biggio in the hall and not garvey? like to set build, like the inserts….just 2 many. wish guys were in new uniforms they should have held the presses. will they be in new uniforms in gypsy or heritage, great site, a must to find variation lists thanks

Thanks for the reply, Ryan. I collect Jose Altuve currently because he’s just a unique player. I also collect anything NY Mets or Washington Nationals. My old-school favorite is Chet Lemon.

Ryan, is there a specific reason you collect John Jaha? Just curious.

Man, you all must have REALLLLLY gotten so tired of the white border years that anything with color was going to look good.
The base card is one of the ugliest I’ve seen in quite some time. It’s worse than 1990. At least that card didn’t hide the fact (with the ’15 fade out as the card goes up) that it’s borders are gonna be bright and colorful. Also reminds me of 1975 before machines probably had the capability of doing fading heh…
I guess I’m a little different than most of the people writing though because I really liked the design of ’11 and ’14 (’12 was not good, ’13 wasn’t bad, but ’08-’10 gives me understanding of how bad a white border can be and the complaints above). I agree that you just can’t do that 7 years in a row. Even if I think ’15 is ugly, you do need to mix it up here and there.

Oh man…just had a thought…Topps Chrome is gonna be just as U.G.L.Y. Well at least (because it certainly couldn’t take that much work or cost that much money especially when you have a monopoly on the ol’ MLB license) the player photos will be different! HAH!
(I KINDA get the monopoly the gov’t gives MLB on a pro baseball league, but I still haven’t figured out how its not a monopoly to allow only 1 license provider….thank gawd MLBPA vs. CDM Fantasy wasn’t decided for the former. We’d all be playing fantasy baseball on MLB.com and probably wouldn’t have daily games.

ANYHOW, apologies for a little rant, just one man’s opinion. I’m sure Topps will do a much better job with the 2015 football design….hmmmm.

PS – I say bring back the WOOD! Or maybe do a kitchen floor linoleum pattern or TEK it out for 2016 Topps Baseball.
Ok, those ideas are not funny. Sorry.

PPS – If I’m being honest, I would love to see some spin of ’83/’84 with the action image and the face (and dear god, please don’t make it look like the ’03 card). Those were two of my favorite cards. Of course, I doubt Topps will go that route given they would have to have two photos of each player. Dear Gawd, could you imagine the cost of that!?!?

Once again, ryan cracknell, you, just as most all other brain washed “collectors” out there, have missed the point entirely. show me the laws that say these manufacturers have to print the stated odds on any of their product. They print the odds to sucker you into thinking that if you hit one of these amazingly rare cards you have just hit the “jackpot”. On the contrary. ebay has dissolved this notion altogether by seeing cards with a book value of $500 selling for less than $100. If these cards don’t have an implied value then why do the beckett publications even exist? why are they continually listed on ebay for sale? yeah yeah beckett is intended as a value “guide” only. yadda yadda yadda. Ill tell ya why, because these cards actually DO have an implied certain value as is evidenced every time a card sells on ebay. no one, and I mean NO ONE buys this crap to simply just collect it. And don’t give me that same ludicrous comeback that I constantly get. ” actually I do buy this stuff to simply collect them” blah blah blah. you know you don’t and neither does anyone else. its a sham. you want to collect something? how about hundred dollar bills. Why is it that every time I buy this crap and pay outrageous amounts of money for it do I continue to get cards that have absolutely no value? why are the packs so expensive? why does it matter how “high end” some of these products are if they have no implied future value and are filled with no name autos and relics? I have paid and have watched others pay more than $100 per mini box for topps triple threads product just to see a bunch of total garbage cards come out? it happens more than not that someone pays this kind of money and gets no value in return. $100 a pack for $25 worth of product. sounds like gambling to me. All of these card companies should be ashamed of themselves. especially topps and Panini, the two worst card manufacturers on the planet. And don’t give me this “if youre buying cards as an investment then youre in it for the wrong reason” crap because it is an investment when youre spending hundreds of dollars per box for this nonsense. This is no longer a hobby. its an investable business venture that everyone loses on. except of course the card companies themselves. if you want to keep throwing your money away then go ahead knock yourself out. but if youre going to just toss your money out the window then just send it to me. ill put it to good use.

I just pulled a 1969 Topps Johnny Bench with the buyback stamp and the rookie trophy. It is not in mint condition but still nice. That was one pack, too.

Manufactured relics should not count as a relic. My son saved his own money to buy a box and all he got was the Yu Darvish manufactured piece of metal. The definition of a relic is something belonging to somebody and from the past. No other hits were pulled. I feel horrible for the kid. I wouldn’t have let him buy it if I knew Topps was considering a piece of metal that has no direct ties to Yu Darvish were to be considered a relic.
Once again, false advertising and poor customer service.

wow, these are really ugly…as I said before, we’re running headfirst back to the “years of shame”–these are like some crap cards from the 90s…Metal Universe all over again.

I’ve noticed more interest with Panini products in some of the break rooms I frequent. I’ve been a Topps guy since pinching cards from my older brothers in the late 60s, but I am currently more impressed with Panini’s approach to design.

Regardless, these are just plain ugly…maybe even fugly…well, skipping these will leave more money available for Archives when they hit…

as usual, another crap product from a crap company. sportscards in and of themselves are just pieces of cardboard garbage. i love the statement “topps does not in any manner make any representations as to whether its cards will attain any future value”. then why is triple threads $100 per pack and this garbage is $50 per box? just more garbage from another card company preying on the young with the promise of finding “the big one”. these card companies are teaching kids to gamble. this is evident by printing the stated odds of finding certain cards. stop buying this crap. I am.

live in area with no hobby stores…
so I buy retail.Very disappointed with no red or blue border cards.
Makes retail cards worthless.

Love the cards. Although it says a 350 base set, I have one numbered at 351…..?

Just a little better than last years because cards have more color and coin and stamp cards are cool. I would love to see Topps put out a extremely rare cards to hunt for in the set, even more rare than the sparkle cards and photo variations. I think more collectors would by Topps more if that come about.

I like the change from the typical white borders of the last several years…it has been fun chasing one of each of the different base parallels for the past few years…
Did they make the retail color versions on this set? I got some Toys R Us purple already…..did they do Target red or Wal Mart blue? Or the yellow? Also wondering if they will do factory set orange when the time comes…!?!? Or if they will do the mini set again in packs…
Any insight?

Am I blind or is the base set missing Yadier Molina and Matt Holliday but it includes a Cardinals Shelby Miller who was traded way back on November 17! Otherwise the cards look great.

No Joe Panik RC in 2015 topps– he had 2 RC in 2014 in the Heritage High Numbers and the Bowman Sterling.

I am happy to see an “interesting” looking base set. Could care less about the inserts and will be selling them off.

Are there parallels for the First Home Run retail inserts? I’m seeing ones with gold or blue stripes down the middle, but the Abreu I pulled has a silver stripe.

Great cards but the inserts products should be a few more made in the series. This would be a chance for more people to own a couple.

Probably old news, but it looks like the !st Home Run inserts have variations. I pulled both Jorge Soler and Chipper Jones with silver and gold stamping on the front, as well as with a blue or gold band down the center of the card behind the picture.

I love the Topps brand. I am a setbuilder and agree the inserts are starting to get out of control. I could care less if there were any inserts so get rid of all of them.

Just not a huge fan of the paper stock, many cards were dinged up.

Yeah, it’s nice to have a different border for a change but at last count, including variations of the base cards, over 1200 inserts, which again makes it ridiculous to collect a series, let alone a complete set. I long for the days when there were a few inserts ( or none at all) and every card card in the pack was a possibility of completing a set. Someone mentioned the Topps Total from a few years ago. It didn’t work because the cards were crap, not because people didn’t want it. I just can’t figure out why anyone wants the inserts. It dilutes the product, just like the glut of baseball cards in the 90’s diluted the industry. Guess it’s buy a couple of packs for the cheap reminiscent thrill and then wait for the factory set in July.

I am pleased that Topps has gone away from the “Plain Jane” white borders of the base cards. I agree, that there are too many chase sets and Inserts. I know I won’t be putting a tonne of time or money chasing the Inserts, but will continue to purchase the cards to give away to young baseball players who come to my clinics.

Way to many insert sets & variations
the autos are going insane

Border design looks more like infield dirt rather than stone IMO. Makes more sense to me.

Found mine at retail today, a day early. I am pleased because it’s not the same ol same ol from Topps. Different is good!

I collect certain players and certain inserts. I look forward, as always, to adding some 2015 Topps no matter the design. Collect what you want. It’s a lot more fun. And less expensive.

I think the people who are not that excited about this product should take a real good look at the published checklist I think it has everybody and everything from all the current big name autos and relics like Luigi, harper, trout, some nice 80,s players strawberry, Carlton, pizza and some 50,s greats like hank, Rizutto, snider and a great array of sub sets I think the 3.2 the connection gave the set is so incredible under valued and rated this product has something for young and old I would pay 100 a box and give it I 4.5 another quick thing most people don’t look at anymore mainly due to the send in s that expire is the fact would u like to spend 80bucks on a box 5 to 10 years from now and my answer is yes for the first time in five to ten

Topps really needs to stop counting the mfg. pins and patches as one of the relics in the jumbo boxes. Not a bad product but your really getting 2 GU or Autos in a 100 dollar box.

love the new look there’s no better baseball card then topps

A week to go! Counting down the days! One of my favorite time’s of the year.

…just a few more days…yawn…I’ll buy 2 packs like buying a couple lottery tickets, as for building a set of this garbage? Please.

Where is the Joe Panik card?????? Not even a World Series Highlight card of the awesome stop at 2B? Very very surprised Topps did not put him in the regular Series 1 Checklist! Considering others that were included. So they only put him in the hard to pull auto/relic insert sets.

Overall a decent product, but the one thing that is a big selling point is the Pennant Chase cards and last I heard the 2013 Pennant Chase cards haven’t been filled yet! What’s the point of pulling or buying a chase card if you have to wait over a year for a redemption prize that you are not even sure what you are going to get?

This is a beautiful card design, perhaps one of the best ever. Finally, something novel. However, the number of inserts and parallels is ridiculous. 700 base cards, no inserts, no parallels = perfection.

As usual, way too many insert sets. Not too keen on the colored borders either. This is supposed to be a base level set, white borders, easy to obtain insert sets, no 1/1 nonsense. I buy the minimum I need to complete a set and my various subsets.

Typical average looking Topps casual crapola. Surprised to not see Joe Panik or Odrisamer Despaigne but am delighted to see other rookies like Buck Farmer, Brandon Finnegan, and Guilder Rodriguez get squeezed in. I haven’t bought packs since 2012 and surely won’t start now, but as a ttmer and autograph collector I’ll be picking up some of these RC’s as singles – but for the names and not the quality of the product.

WOW!!! Amazed at how good the Auto and Relic set checklist is. I am definitely going to buy some Topps 2015 cards this year!!!!

Not seeing much in the way of Nationals players other than Bryce Harper. Washington has a great young talent in Anthony Rendon and Jordan Zimmermann, who pitched a no-hitter in 2014. Let’s get some representation other than Harper!

Would have liked to have seen a insert set of cards celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Brooklyn Dodgers WS win in 1955.

Are you serious right now?.. Set checklist contains a Joc Pederson RC and a Andrew Susac RC (september call-up hardly played) AND NO JOE PANIK RC ?? !! ?? !!

Great job, Topps! Very Disappointed.

Thankfully the made in China has been explained. I was going to pass this year, however with the colors this year, but now I am back to being excited about the new set! Stamps and coins are always fun, as well as the signature and maybe a fun SSP. I am on a budget however the price is just right!

Borders and design are just far too busy this year. Could they make the cards more cluttered? *Almost* every time Topps goes away from white borders, something like this happens. I’ll skip this year, it’s a hot mess. I feel like I’ve been transported back to the bad old days of the 1990’s. At least the player’s position is on the front.

Topps cards are NOT made in China– at least most of it. In 2014 only the metal inserts on some of the cards such the ring cards were made in China. the rest of those cards were made in the USA.

I am sorry, but where has all this made in China come from???? Has Topps released something I don’t know about??
thanks

very much like the look of the borders ,like Gary been collecting since 1972 but still will be collecting there is getting to many inserts ,one insert would love to see is top 25 from each position(like top 25 catchers)give us the hobbyist a voting card the year prior and let us decide whom we’d like to see ,this would spark some interest and also a lot of debate on who deserves to be on that list and would make me feel part of the hobby

Finally not the bland looking cards they have been making over the last decade. Hopefully they will bring back team photos & playoff card s like they used to do in 70’s on back. It’s cheaper to buy the factory set then spend at least $80 on both series & having to spend more at card shows to complete your set. I don’t like the idea of sending decent paying jobs to China when this can be done right in the USA & have better product.

made in China doesn’t fly with me Time for some real innovation in cards to get the kids and old time collectors excited.

I think the more simplistic card designs, like Topps 2013 and Upper Deck 1992 show more class. Topps 2015 just looks like an improvement on something Donruss came up with. Still, those Archetype inserts do look pretty nice.

Bein a tops collector for many years- tried other brands, nothing beats topps

Topps is putting way to many parallels and inserts in the boxes. 2014 was my last year of building sets. I busted a case of jumbos and didn’t even get a set. I have built sets from 1960 thru 2014 but no more. If I get to wanting a set I will buy one off ebay. I can get sets there cheaper than busting boxes and I don’t have all the junk left over that I can’t sell or trade because there is so much of it. I have stuff from the last several years that I can’t even give away.

Any word yet on whether the extra 20 cards per series will be SP?

Because I’m not seeing how if they run 110 cards on a press sheet it comes out to 350 cards. Unless they run a 4th sheet which also has 90 inserts that will have the same print run as base cards.

And they’re made in China, cool.

The new design of the Topps 2015 Baseball Cards are really amazing and awesome to look at.They will have 350 in series 1 and 350 baseball cards in series 2 plus 350 baseball cards in the update set totaling 1050 baseball cards.

I’m so glad Topps got rid of the plain white border. It gives base cards a whole new apperance! The inserts look great as well!

Topps with another “made in China” set of baseball cards….no thanks. Looking forward to the day when the companies that still print their cards in the U.S.A. (Upperdeck, Panini, Donruss) will be able to use the MLB logos again.

This looks awesome
