1998 Topps Opening Day
Description[edit]
1998 Topps Opening Day is a 165-card set released exclusively to retail outlets in April, 1998. This was the debut of the Opening Day brand, which would go on to become an annual, early-season, release.
The set is a stripped-down, "no frills," partial-parallel of the 1998 Topps flagship -- the only difference being silver borders and an Opening Day foil-stamped logo on front and the different numbering on back. There are no inserts in the product.
The product was made in response to MLB Properties' request that Topps produce an affordable card set for children.
Distribution[edit]
36 packs per box, seven cards per pack (MSRP: $0.99). Retail only.
