2014 Topps Mini

From BaseballCardPedia.com


Description

2014 Topps Mini, a 660-card set, was released to The Hobby during the 2014 National Sports Collector's Convention which was held from July 30th-Aug 3rd, 2014. Wax boxes were only available for purchase at the Topps booth. One week after the conclusion of the NSCC, Mini was made available on Topps' website.

Unlike previous year's Mini sets, the 2014 edition did not sell all that well, and on January 22nd, 2015, Topps began liquidating 3-box lots for $49.99.

Each wax box contains one autograph or relic card. Cards measure 3 1/8" X 2 1/4".

Distribution

Each box contains 24 packs with 10 cards in each pack (MSRP: $53.99/box).

Using extrapolation, roughly 10,000 boxes were produced.
