2016 Topps Series 1 Baseball Variation Short Prints Checklist and Gallery

Appearing to take a step back from the glut of variations in previous flagship releases, the 2016 Topps Series 1 Baseball variations primarily consist of basic photo differences that center around uniforms.

Celebrating the 65th anniversary of Topps Baseball, the final 2016 Topps Series 1 checklist did not provide the list of variations, which has been the case in recent years. This means that collectors will need to keep their eyes peeled. Early variations look to be easier to spot as they feature camo. However, some examples are more subtle than others.

There are no Sparkles this year. Sabermetric Stat Backs also seem to be left off the docket in Series 1.

If you would prefer to not have to eyeball cards for image differences, the code on the card backs can also provide the answer. Review the final four digits to determine which cards you have.

  • Base Cards end in #7075
  • SP Photo Variations end in #7123
  • SSP Photo Variations end in #7125

The SP Variations include camo jersey images while the SSP versions are more standard photo variations. As stated above, the quickest way to see which version you have is check the code. Use the tab above to see a side-by-side comparison between the base and variation cards.

Need help, I have two 2016 series one Kyle Schwarber cards both number 66
One code ends in 75 base card
One code ends in 43, this code is not listed, nor are there any Schwarber cards listed as SP or SSP
Thanks, J Browne

The code ending in #43 is the rookie variation from the factory set – https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-topps-baseball-retail-factory-variations

So I have bought TONS of Jumbo Packs (36 cards $4.99),Hangers (72 cards – $9.99) & Blaster Boxes (101 Cards – $19.99) and through all that besides the Medallion Cards that come in the Blaster, 1 Pink Parallel and 1 SSP Photo Variation I have pulled nothing beyond the standard base cards and regular inserts. Skip to today and I just happen to buy 2 packs of the 12 card Blister packs for $1.99 each and both packs have a Photo Variation in it….. sigh…. the luck / odds of the pull are totally out of whack when I can spend hundreds on the higher priced side of packages of Series 1 and get what I go then get 2 photo variations out of 2 packs of 12 card Blister Packs. I still enjoyed opening every pack/hanger/box but have seriously lacked on pulling any hits. Last year by this time in my set collecting I had at least pulled an Auto or Relic or 2. Ive bought enough this year to already have 3 full sets of Series 1 and a good start on 3 more.

Just opened a pack of Hobby cards and pulled a #1 Mike Trout SSP…..out of a regular pack…not jumbo. So is your information in the article correct or do they throw everything into hobby packs?

Trey Treutel
Trey Treutel

Erick Schmidt » Info is correct. It is never mentioned that SSP cards are exclusive to Jumbo packs. The Jumbo odds were provided when we first posted as that was all the info we had to go from. Short prints can be pulled from any packs, including hobby, jumbo and retail.

How come Salvador Perez has two different numbers (50 and 152). We got both in the jumbo boxes we opened on Saturday and it was very confusing.

Previous years there were retail store specific boarder parallels or in Update 05 there were Throwback variations. Also certain stores had specific insert sets, i.e. Ruth, Jackie Roninson, etc. If there’s anything like that and they are noted, guess I missed it.
