2017 Topps Inception

This article is about a set that is scheduled to be released in the near-future.
Some information may change as more facts become known.

Description

2017 Topps Inception is a 139-card set released May 19th, 2017. The product has been reconfigured from the previous year's product, yet still maintains the heavily Photoshop filtered look and feel. As the name suggests, the product has been re-branded from Bowman to Topps, and with that rebranding is a focus away from rookies and prospects and towards current Major League players.

A conventional base set has been added, and includes a 39-card Rookie Autographs subset. In addition, the number of autographs per box has been reduced from five to only one.

Each 16-box case should yield four Autographed Patches, one Autographed Jumbo Patch, and a Silver Signings card.

Distribution

Seven cards per box (MSRP: $69). 16 boxes per case. Hobby only.
