2017 Topps Update Baseball Forum

I have found 2 additional subsets on Cardboard Connection that are not listed here. They are both Mystery Redemption sets.

The first set is called "Mystery MLB MVP Autograph Medallion Redemptions" The numbering scheme is Mystery 1, Mystery 2, and so on up to Mystery 12. Team names are not listed although it is probably safe to assume they are with the team they were on when they won the MVP award. Unfortunately, don't know if Frank Robinson is with the Reds or the Orioles. The image of the Harper card (front only) does not show an SN number.

The 2nd set is called "Mystery Hank Aaron Award Autograph Relic Redemptions" The image (front only) of the Bryant card shows 01/10 on it.

Mystery 1 – Bryce Harper
Mystery 2 – Buster Posey
Mystery 3 – Kris Bryant

Please use correct terminology.  You're talking about inserts not subsets.  And do not confuse redemption with exchange.  

The redemption cards do not have names or teams printed on them.  The checklist for them will not have names and teams associated with them.  The exchange cards you receive in the mail from Topps will have the player and team.

Sorry about using the word "subset' instead of "insert set". I was also confused about the exchange / redemption cards. I had them backwards in my mind. So I assume the redemption card sets would be insert sets because they are found inserted into packs. What about the exchange cards? Are they also an insert set even though one cannot get them inside a pack? Or are they something else, like a mail-in set? And some sets are a mixture of cards inserted into packs and exchange cards.

It is an amazing puzzle that Topps creates for us every year.

Yes, Redemption cards are inserted in packs.  Exchange cards are not inserted in packs, they are listed under the Mail-in category.  If you find any Mail-in sets listed as Insert, please submit IR to move to correct category.

Adding on to what Chuck said, if the entire insert set is only available via redemption/exchange, it should be listed under Mail-In, but there may be some cases where only a few cards out of a base or insert set were available via redemption/exchange while the rest were inserted in packs. In those cases, we just denote those specific base or insert cards with "EXCH".

This all makes sense.

Thanks guys!
