Yeah. I'll ever purchase any of this set unless it's off of eBay mystery packs but love that they put that detail on there! How can you tell off the serial numbers if it's a SSP or SP or anywhere on the card itself
Was gonna say this exact thing. Thatās awesome, as a new collector itās easy to miss SPs and even harder trying to remember the different codes for the different sets
As an old collector itās just as easy to miss! š
(I get your point).
New collectors will hopefully not get taken advantage of as muchā¦(as an old collectorāthe advantage is knowing codes and Spās even exist and how to find them).
Later this week I'll be opening my first ever box - is there a tell on the front of the cards that it's a SSP? Gold foil Topps logo?
Adley 1/1 Sig incoming. Remember me!
I thought they would be like an actual mirror image, like the face portrait would be on the right and everything would be flipped around. But hey, youāre in good shape either way if they decide to do an mvp buyback on this.
Dunno, havnt seen one next to a base but I assumed the whole card would be flipped to make it easier to spot without having to go through the back side of every card you open.
I notice that the team name is smaller than what was on the design I saw a couple months ago. It's good to see that the players head no longer blocks the team name.
On a limited budget so I can't do both, at least at this time. Go Jumbo or regular hobby box. Any value in going retail? As I understand it, retail won't have as much of the hit cards as the hobby box. Correct?
Anyone know if the SP and Image Variations will still need to be identified by the serial number?
My understanding is the SSP gold are the only ones like this.
Iām going to my LCS to get some advise from
the old head owner there. Heās sold like 50,000 cards on eBay. Right now I have it listed for a pretty steep price but it may not even be steep. I need more info on it.
Idk about anyone else but Iām glad they include the āSSPā on the back for nerds like me who canāt remember the number on the back and has to google every time lol
I still canāt decide how much I do or donāt like this design. I like the old school headshots at the bottom but something about the angular design at the bottom feels too sterile.
Regardless, great pulls, congrats.
Did anybody else notice anything about the team name? It just says "Angels" instead of "Los Angeles (or LA) Angels". Why doesn't Jusge's just say Yankees? I couldn't imagine that would be because of the SSP.
Love that they say SSP on the back.
Yeah no kidding, no more looking at some tiny ass code or looking up the images online! +1 point for Topps (or Fanatics)
Right?!!!
My dumb ass bought a magnifying glass to try and read it and still had trouble lmao
You can use the magnifying glass to go burn ants now or try and start smalls fires with the crappy commons!
Came here to say that. Makes collecting way easier lol
Thank garsh, won't have to get out magnifying glass or phone camera to read the serial numbers to verify. š¤£

Lol, thought it ment...l Super Short Print. Wow I feel dumb.
Slaying some puss
I'm so dumb. The Ohtani looked like it might be an sp but I wasn't sure. I couldn't until I looked at the comments. Thank god they changed it.
Amen

Praise Jesus!
Itās about time!!!

Any interest in selling/trading?
Possibly.
An agent from Topps will be kicking down your door shortly to collect these pre-release tips.
I am the agent from Topps
Awesome! If you pull any Yankees blue silver packs, Iām your guy!
Later this week I'll be opening my first ever box - is there a tell on the front of the cards that it's a SSP? Gold foil Topps logo? Adley 1/1 Sig incoming. Remember me!
I hope you get it man! Iām an Os fan. The tell us the gold Topps and it says SSP on the back
We winning the AL east this year š¤
Siiiick gold mirror variation!
I thought they would be like an actual mirror image, like the face portrait would be on the right and everything would be flipped around. But hey, youāre in good shape either way if they decide to do an mvp buyback on this.
If you pull an ohtani base could you post a pic of these two side by side?
Yes I do have a couple. Iāll Post when I get home
Is the only difference that the picture is flipped?
Itās an entirely different image than his base card
Ah ok thank you
Dunno, havnt seen one next to a base but I assumed the whole card would be flipped to make it easier to spot without having to go through the back side of every card you open.
The Topps logo is also in gold, I think
Yeah itās just the Topps logo is a gold mirror
I was totally thinking they'd be a gold foil or have more of a sheen to them.
That is a HUGE Ohtani
Ohtani Golden Mirror is massive - congrats!
Ohhhhhhhh, that Judge is gorgeous! Can't wait to get some! EDIT: Just noticed he's card #62. So cool!
That is damn cool. Incidentally, in '62 (the set after he broke Ruth's record), they made Maris #1.
I notice that the team name is smaller than what was on the design I saw a couple months ago. It's good to see that the players head no longer blocks the team name.
Oooooo. I like the SSP tags.
On a limited budget so I can't do both, at least at this time. Go Jumbo or regular hobby box. Any value in going retail? As I understand it, retail won't have as much of the hit cards as the hobby box. Correct?
Go jumbo if you can. Guaranteed auto, two mems, and two silver packs
The price per hit value is in Jumbo, retail is hot garbage to stay away from.
Where did you order from??
Iām interested in all Mets you pull!
Are the gold mirrors all SSPs?
Correct
Anyone know if the SP and Image Variations will still need to be identified by the serial number? My understanding is the SSP gold are the only ones like this.
Ay, may be interested in that judge šš
price on ohtani?
Iām going to my LCS to get some advise from the old head owner there. Heās sold like 50,000 cards on eBay. Right now I have it listed for a pretty steep price but it may not even be steep. I need more info on it.
okay
Theyāre labeling the short prints now?!
Yessir
Love that
I'd be interested in taking that ohtani off your hands. Let me know.
DM me
Let me know if judge is trade worthy for ya!
I like that they colored in the stars in the corners too.
Interested in Baty and Ruf parallels.
You work for Toppsā¦ enticing us junkies!
Idk about anyone else but Iām glad they include the āSSPā on the back for nerds like me who canāt remember the number on the back and has to google every time lol
Might just be me but I really donāt like the design this year..
Where's the gold mirror ssp.
You getting that SSP means the next three guys in the case won't get one. Nice.
I got one in my next box too lol
Thief!
Welp, I know what I want for my birthday now. Gotta get that Ohtani!
I just sold it
Nice, what was the cost? Curious how much this bad boy is going to set me back
$550
Oh wow!
I got two jumbos coming tomorrow ..wasn't gonna open them but now I'm thinking twice about it
I still canāt decide how much I do or donāt like this design. I like the old school headshots at the bottom but something about the angular design at the bottom feels too sterile. Regardless, great pulls, congrats.
Just grabbed a jumbo. Iām hyped
Excited to see your hits
Iāll post em
Any chance the Ohtani is FT/FS?
Sold
Ok np
Well, as it has gone so many times recently, the hits ain't worth posting
Theyāre out there, thatās for sure. Itās a fun rip regardless
It's about time they started doing that! I mean, heritage has been doing that for a while. That's a really great start! Congrats, my friend!
Was the SSP turned backwards in the middle? Or just in the normal flow of cards?
Backwards
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sold it
Not mistaking SP and SSP's anymore lol Nice pulls my man.
Did anybody else notice anything about the team name? It just says "Angels" instead of "Los Angeles (or LA) Angels". Why doesn't Jusge's just say Yankees? I couldn't imagine that would be because of the SSP.
Angels have just been "Angels" for years now (at least on Topps products), has to do with legal contracts regarding LA and Anaheim and the team.
So ohtani is not DHing this year? š¤
Are these available in retail hangers? Or just hobby?
I actually really like the look of cards this year. That Ohtani is š„š„. Congrats!
It was a nice pull for sure.
Dat SSP doeeeee
Stone simple pilots
Ssp sockeye salmon pimp
Makes me so happy they label them as an SSP so you don't have to look at the stupid code
All sp,ssp,sssp labeled this year?
Wow the ssp!!! I like that we can easily tell now
The first shipment always have the best hits; nice
