Helping to elevate the product above the many other high-end releases, every signed card is numbered to 99 or less, utilizes metallic ink, quality images and on-card autographs. As noted in the sell sheet, 2016 Topps The Mint Baseball features a "laboriously honed checklist" that "has been designed to provide the utmost in collector value."
The primary signed options include Franchise Autographs (#'d) that focus on current veterans of note and Gem 10 Autographs (#'d) highlight the new additions to the Topps lineup. Other signed inserts include Arrivals Autographs that feature top 2016 MLB rookies and Golden Engraving Autographs that only cover retired greats.
Each signed insert can also be found as Purple (#/50), Green (#/10) and Red (1/1) parallels. Golden Engravings does not have a Blue parallel. There are also limited Image Variation Autographs.
Continuing the process established in 2015 Strata Baseball, every relic in 2016 Topps The Mint Baseball features MLB authentication. This includes Authenticated Patch Autographs (1:3 boxes) that are each numbered and feature multi-color jersey patch pieces. Green (#/10) and Red (1/1) parallels are also available.
Lastly, every other box will contain an extra hit in the form of a premium memorabilia card. Among the options are Franklin Batting Glove Book Cards (#/4) and Iconic Jersey Relics (#'d) that document an important event.
Although 2016 Topps The Mint Baseball mainly sticks to the top MLB names, there are some unexpected inclusions. Nuke LaLoosh, a fictional pitcher played by Tim Robbins in Bull Durham, is joined by Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa and famed sportscaster Vin Scully in the Gem 10 Autograph insert.
