2022 Topps 206
Description
2022 Topps 206 is a 500-card set done in the style of the early 20th Century T-206 set. The set was expanded from the previous year's product into five, 100-card "waves," with each wave available for a 30-day period on Topps.com beginning June 22nd. A new 100-card wave was available every month after that. 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
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.
