First Buzz: 2020 Topps Series 1 baseball cards

[ddearing]

Boy - did Target win the "retail player exclusive" contest!

Vladimir Guerrero Jr for Target and Walmart has Rhys Hoskins.

[griffan15]

Included Cease and Isan Diaz. They really didn't hold much back.

[griffan15]

All the big guys have Silver Pack RCs too.

[yrocks2001]

I hope anyone who had the Rangers in a PYT to date gets a refund lol. They only have 1 base card in the entire base set.

[griffan15]

Sorry for so many posts, but Yordan has a HR Challenge code as well.

[PDCCollectibles]

Love the CL, can't wait to crack some cases!

Yeah but neither is a RC, no one cares about 2nd year cards these days.

[czyankeefan]

Better to pre order a hobby or jumbo case?

[cj828282]

Interesting that the Hobby Jumbos have two exclusives with the Turkey Red variation boxtopper and gold foils. Wonder if it is every box for the TR or more rare. That would be three boxtopper packs for jumbo boxes.

That's what I'm looking at as well. This seems like a large master set but I'm still working through deleting all the retail subsets.

Edit:I'm counting 315 hobby/jumbo inserts if you count the 30 Home Run Challenge cards. Do those typically get included in master sets? I didn't think they did but I'll have to go find out.

Yeah that’s pretty big. Last year they held back the biggest series 1 rookie in Kyle Tucker

[Soxfanguy]

14 White Sox, not bad

Even Series 2 last year was missing everyone but Eloy and it's still jumping. This is a great addition to an already stacked checklist.

[cj828282]

The HRC cards typically are not included in a MS but I am sure there are some that do at an increased price.

[BBases31]

Has anyone tried to estimate the print run yet?

Impossible to even start without knowing some odds.

Think it will be ok, not loaded, but ok

I didn't notice Dustin May on the checklist? unless im blind

didnt the Sox already extend Luis Robert? meaning unless he completely bombs out in ST, he should make the bigs early enough to be in Series 2

other possibles, Jo Adell, Royce Lewis, Sixto Sanchez, Alec Bohm,

Not sure what you mean but Tatis and Alonso certainly aren't hurting the price of 19 S2

[jjo1776]

Wonder what it would take for Topps to go back to Target red borders and Walmart Blue borders

I think they’d have to go back to borders first.

Was talking about inclusions in the Silver Packs.

Even though 2019 Series 2 had Tatis and Alonso, they didn't get Silver Pack RCs until Update was released, only Eloy did. Same with Series 1. Urias, Kopech and Tucker got bumped to Series 2 Silver packs, even though they had base RCs in Series 1.

Not the case with with 2020 Series 1.
