2017 Topps Factory Sets

Description

Topps produced six different versions of their annual factory set in 2017.

The first wave of 2017 Topps factory sets were released exclusively to The Hobby in July. There were two versions of the set: one for Hobby distribution and the other to commemorate the 2017 All-Star Game. The Hobby set came in a red box and had a five-card pack of "Sparkle Foil" parallels, each serial-numbered to 175 copies.

The All-Star set had five bonus "All-Star" cards. In addition, each base card in the All-Star set is stamped "ALL-STAR GAME 2017" on the front.

The second wave of factory sets were released to mass-market retail and Hobby outlets in November. All retail factory sets, came with five exclusive Rookie "variation" cards. The Target and Wal-Mart sets also came with one of five Chrome Refractors MLB Legends (Wal-Mart) or Derek Jeter Refractor reprints (Target).

Finally, Topps produced 1000 "Limited Edition" factory sets and 250 Sapphire Chrome factory sets. Each base card in the Limited Edition set is printed on thicker 24-point cardstock, and is stamped "LIMITED EDITION" on the front. The Limited Edition factory set was sold exclusively on topps.com for $99.99 plus shipping.

We've created a separate entry for the Sapphire Chrome set.
