Hey there everyone, 

I know all of the players who signed cards in the active player edition set, however don't know most of the card numbers. Does anybody know how checklists were added for past years releases for this product if at all? Thanks. 

Checklists have to be built through research.  If you have permissions level you can add cards yourself, I'd use past year's sets as an example.  Otherwise you can submit an IR for the player checklist to have a card added.  I know it's tedious, but Topps doesn't release a checklist for those sets.

Looking at years past, I've come to the conclusion that this is the correct way to do it, correct?

However, I realized after the fact that there are more Whit Merrifields on ebay. How do I add them to the Insert Set?

Not quite correct. The name of the insert set should be just "Whit Merrifield". Need to submit an IR to fix that I assume. To add cards to his checklist, on your link on the lower left you'd click "See any inaccuracies?" and then provide all the details for the missing card that needs to be added. In general, these checklists are built as cards are discovered. However, as its pretty new one should really search listings until you have a good chunk of cards (like 15-20) to start the player's list with since more will be listed during the product's early release before they start disappearing so get the info now and its also less work later

I emailed Topps to see if I can get the list with card numbers.

Fixed the set name.

I tried, at least maybe they might improve in future...

Me: I know the checklist of players are available, but can you provide a checklist with card numbers?

Topps: My name is Alex. Thank you for taking the time to submit your inquiry to Topps Customer Service about the 2024 Topps Archives Signature Series - Active Player Edition checklist.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the checklists provided and them not having the card numbers available.

Unfortunately we do not have a checklist available at this time with the card numbers, however I have recommended to my team this be added. While there is no guarantee this will be done, I certainly appreciate your feedback/recommendation. From a fan perspective, my best guess is since so many of the cards are from different products they did not add the numbers since they would all be very different.

Me: Is there a list of which sets cards come from then?  How is anyone able to verify the authenticity of an Archives card without that?

Topps: My name is Carly. Thank you for following up.

I completely understand your concern regarding verifying the authenticity of Archives cards. While we don't currently provide a list of the specific sets from which the cards come, I can assure you that all cards included in an unopened box of Topps Archives Signature Series - Active Player Edition are authentic and officially licensed by Major League Baseball.

Each card undergoes a rigorous authentication process to ensure its legitimacy before being included in the product. Additionally, Topps is committed to maintaining the integrity of our products and stands behind the authenticity of every card we produce. Once cards go through secondary markets though, we are no longer able to provide authentication of the card. We take this matter seriously however, Topps does not offer grading services, and we are unable to assess the value, condition, or authenticity of secondary market goods.

Thank you again for bringing these important questions up. I have passed along your feedback for the team to review it. Should they require any more information, they will be reaching out.
