Checklist

Base Set

NOTES:

  • There are 13 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 six 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 (pattern 7) seeded every other case.
  • The 56 "B" players have only six patterns.
  • Our friends at The Cardboard Connection have compiled a visual guide to the 2015 Topps High Tek patterns.
  • All players are depicted in Away or Alternate uniforms.
