2011 Topps Opening Day wrapper

Description

2011 Topps Opening Day was released on March 5, 2011 -- about a month before the actual opening day. As has become custom for this brand, the design of the base set is recycled from the 2011 Topps set. Unlike 2011 Topps Series One many of the players who have changed teams during the off season are depicted in their new airbrushed uniforms.

The base set is 220 cards, including a preview of 74 base card subjects from Topps Baseball Series 2. There are seven different insert sets, and each pack promises one insert.

Distribution

Retail: 36 packs per box, seven cards per pack (MSRP: $0.99/pack)

Jumbo: 24 cards per pack (MSRP: $2.99).
