Description

2014 Topps High TEK is a 1200-card set scheduled to be released on December 3, 2014. After a 14-year hiatus, Topps has brought back the all-acetate card set, popular with extreme set collectors. However, the format only bears a passing resemblance to the original product.

Each eight-card box will yield one autograph and one serial-numbered parallel.

Distribution

Eight cards per box (MSRP: $70). Hobby only.
