2020 Topps 206

From BaseballCardPedia.com

Description[edit]

2020 Topps 206 is a 250-card set done in the style of the early 20th Century T-206 set. The set was distributed in five, 50-card "waves" on Topps.com beginning in May, 2020, with a new wave available each month for five months. Unlike the Topps 206 revival sets of 2002, 2009, and 2010, all cards are in the "mini" format.

As with most Topps.com exclusive products, each wave is printed to order.

Distribution[edit]

Ten cards per box (MSRP: $14.99)

Collectors should be advised when purchasing sealed boxes as Topps did not bother to label the series name on the packaging.
