Checklist

Base Set

There are 14 different background patterns in 2015 Topps High Tek with seven patterns (designated with an "A" in the checklist below) exclusive to half the set, and the other half ("B") with their own set of seven background patterns. Each pattern level is tiered with the most common patterns (which we've designated as patterns 1A and 1B) coming at the rate of two-per-box, and the most scarce (patterns 7A/B) seeded every other case. Our friends at The Cardboard Connection have compiled a visual guide to the 2015 Topps High Tek patterns.
