2021 Topps Throwback Thursday Baseball Cards Checklist
As has been the case for several years, 2021 Topps Throwback Thursday Baseball revisits various card designs from the long history of the card company.
However, the sixth season of TBT unveils some noticeable changes to the print-to-order MLB product.
2021 Topps Throwback Thursday Baseball Set Details
Arriving on 18-point, Heritage-style card stock, Throwback Thursday continues to celebrate Topps' storied cardboard past.
Among the differences from past iterations, 2021 Topps Throwback Thursday Baseball gets refreshed packaging.
TBT also drops the weekly offering to three cards from the standard six-card sets of prior years.
Instead of a new design every week, each three-card set is part of a larger four-week release. The set sells for $14.99 with free SmartPost shipping, which is a higher per-card price point compared to last year (six-card set for $19.99).
That means that every subset totals 12 cards. This is noted on the front and back of the card.
Collectors can now find chase cards, as well. The possibilities include photo variation cards, averaging 1:20 sets, and limited parallels numbered to 10 copies or less.
Available weekly, the final number of 2021 Topps Throwback Thursday MLB sets printed should line up with the total amount of orders during the period. Check back for TBT updates and final print runs.
