2017 Topps Archives Baseball Cards

Why have the prices of 2017 archives, bowman,donruss, and heritage boxes gone up so high just in the last month?

I liked this product. Fun to set build, the 1960 rookies and the coins have resale value, taking some of the sting out of duplicates.

Tony Jackson, I’d go through all the cards again. Lots stick together. I did a hobby box and thought I only got one auto. But going through the cards again I found the second. Same thing happened with the 8 blasters I opened…an auto card stuck to the card ahead of it and I found it on a second round of reviewing the cards.

The Jeter inserts is the worst as far as sticking to the other cards.

Autograph checklist is WEAK but at least most of the autographs aren’t chicken scratch sigs (except Edgar reteria wtf). Still, Ill have a hard time paying good money in hopes to pull an auto and find its Bald Vinny or Kevin Seitzer or skip Bayless

Have only bought a few packs. Got the last retail at a Walmart and pulled a Tim Wallach Fan Favorite Auto. Today went to my card shop and bought two hobby packs. First pack yielded a Theo Epstein Fan Favorites Auto Red /25!! Obviously luck was on my side here as Archives odds are very hard to pull.

My 13 year old son saved up forever and bought a hobby box today. His box did not have the guaranteed 2 autos nor redemption cards. Has this happened to anyone? Any suggestions?

Can anyone tell me why Topps didn’t produce a reprint of Jeter’s 2007 card for the Retrospective set?

Thanks for the info, Trey!

What is up with 1/1 Blank Back parallels that are listed on ebay from thetoppsvault seller? Are these legit?

Love the Fan Favorite autos. Brings me back to my first go round of collecting.
Does anyone know anything about cards with gold player name and team name? I would think it is a parallel but it doesn’t have a serial number. It is a DeGrom card and it has “Winner” with a star on it right above the nameplate. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I bought a jumbo pack at Target gout a Judge rookie auto. Then I bought a blaster box at Walmart and got a black 1/1 1959 throwback of Nolan Ryan , lots of other nice cards as well.

I bought a box of archives baseball at Walmart. I opened the packs and got a bunch of 2015 baseball update cards? Never seen this before. Is that possible?

John Smiley and Kevin Seitzer autos????? What a bunch of garbage!

A fun break, brings back happy memories. No Molitor in the set probably doesn’t matter to many, but I’m disappointed.

I’ve recently made the jump from opening boxes to just buying singles. I pc David Dahl so for me it’s a great product. I love the 1983 design. They look great in my opinion. The variations are fun to me to chase even with the odds. I’ve really enjoyed collecting again for just fun, building sets, and pc players.

How do I tell if I have a gray back? The code at the bottom on the gray backs on ebay is the same as base cards.

I’m with everyone else on the use of the design choices; I am ok with the ’60 design but as a 9 year old kid I didn’t like the design of the ’82 set. I’m giving an extra star just because they have Roger Maris as a Cardinal. One note about cards, I’ve just bought all the Maris variants on eBay. How tough of a pull is the “blacklist”” variant with no “autograph”.

This would be perfect only if Topps would include black ink on league leading stats on the backs. It’s not that hard to highlight in darker ink the league leading stats of these famous hitters or even of current hitters. Only the exact card reprints show this. This is a little detail that just escapes Topps every year with this set.

Not letting me use the “reply” button, but thanks, Trey! Didn’t see it.

Good deal, but the ’92 set, one of my all-time favorites, as has been said, is thinner than it should be.

Also, Connection staff, need to update for the blackless parallels. I have a Dansby Swanson with no black ink on the front. Beckett calls this the “No Signature” parallel.

The Card Stock from 1960 and 1982 was thin and brown while 1992 Topps card stock was actually little thicker and on white card board. I have not seen these but I doubt the card stock for 1960 and 1982 is of Heritage thickness.

The Cardstock for 2015 and 2016 Archives was old fashion brown card stock but thicker than the original. These cards were GREAT. No glossy feel. In 2014 you had throwback design but glossy card stock (boo!!!!!)

Topps would not short print Judge’s base card would they????

Some nice hits in 8 boxes, including a Benintendi red auto /25 and a Bregman auto /75. But the strangest thing is, the apparent scarcity (or maybe just odd collation) of Aaron Judge base rookie cards, the ones with the 1960 design. In those eight boxes, I got exactly two. The Bazooka minis seem just as tough; I got only two of those. People are selling the base RCs things for dirt cheap. I bought four more for less than half the cost of a box!

archives is and always will be garbage personified. As a set collector, i think this product should be thrown into a firebarrell. This mostly has junk parallels/autographs only the fat middle aged men care about.

Heritage > Archives

Brian, I totally disagree. Why would anyone want to see another 82 Eckersley depicting him on the Red Sox? That card already exists in 82T. I would much rather see him on a different team.

David D. -> 201-300 which are 1992 are thinner because they used the similar stock from that year, just like they did with the other 2 years. The try to stick to the original design/feel. 1992 would have been odd, IMO, if thicker stock, since it would not mimic the original.

2 observations, I wish Topps would at least depict the retired veterans on the teams they actually played for in the correct years, like the 1982 Eckersley. He was with the Red Sox then not an Oakland . And both McGwire and LaRussa as Cardinals in 1992? Sorry, they were both Oakland A’s then. And also hearing reports that Jose Canseco’s card is actually a pic of his twin brother, Ozzie.

I give this product four stars. Cards numbered 1-200 are much thicker than last year, a promise that Topps kept. However, cards numbered 201-300 are inexplicably much thinner in card stock. Unclear why?

Love the concept, hate the design choices, and the lack of a Molitor card breaks my heart.

Hmm… only two Twins in the base checklist, zero Twins autographs, and not a single Twins insert card… Hard pass on this one.

I’m always a fan of Archives.

Politics aside, the Jeter Bush Mantle card is still an amazing piece of card board.

I would like the 1974, 1977, 1978 & 1981 designs be used. Do not like repeat designs. I like the concept of of mixing in past players. The 2017 Topps Archive set will be in my collection.

Why on earth are they using the 1982 design again??? And the 1992 design is horrible!

Why not use designs like 1977, 1978, 1981, & 1988, which have yet to be used in Archives?
