2017 Topps Opening Day Baseball Variations Checklist and Gallery
Checklist
Mirroring the low-key nature of the product, the 2017 Topps Opening Day Baseball variations stick to the basics with different, typically playful, photos for select players in the set. However, the SSP cards are not easy pulls at roughly just two to three per case.
Similar to previous years, the final 2017 Topps Opening Day Baseball checklist did not include the complete list of variations. As a result, collectors must rely on other ways to know what to expect. We aim to clear that up for you with a full checklist and corresponding gallery for all the short print image variations.

Complicating things, it appears that codes on card backs are once again not an alternative option for identifying the 2017 Topps Opening Day Baseball Variations as the base and SSPs have the same digits. Nevertheless, the clear differences in the images does not make it too difficult if you know what you are looking for as you are opening packs.
The 2017 Topps Opening Day Baseball variation odds are officially 1:256 packs so these are fairly tough pulls. Even more difficult to pull are the Stadium Signatures inserts which showcase top players signing autographs. Adding to the confusion, they too have some impressive images and the front design is exactly the same as the base. However, these are not part of the variations and are easily distinguished based on the #SS prefix for the card number.
