2018 Topps Update Baseball Forum

I finally see they released the checklist and not going to lie I'm a little disappointed with the selections for the red sox. So no devers Rd card, no brasier, no brock Holt and no Pearce. I'm excited to get the cards but the rookies are Walden (minors) and Martin (Japan). I think it could of been better but oh well like I said I'll be happy to get them.

There wouldn't be a Devers RD card because he debuted in 2017.  The Rookie Debut cards that have are all from 2018 rookies.  I would think there should be a Pearce card as he was actually traded, and potentially the Brasier card since he actually doesn't have a Topps release yet as best as I can tell.  Brock Holt...no idea why they would put him in there.

Every team collector can complain about the selections.  To be fair, in a 300 card set with 30 teams, you'd expect 10 cards from every team.  Red Sox have 11 selections, so they seem to be fairly represented.  Twins fans only have 5 cards to collect, so it could always be worse!

I was surprised that Pearce was excluded as well, especially since he was acquired weeks before the trading deadline. Holt or Brasier would have been nice, and Martin was just an odd inclusion since he didn't even play at the big league level this year. Oh well, at least we Red Sox fans get our Mitch Moreland All-Star card!

Benitendi had a rookie debut for the year before last year so I thought they might do the same . I was thinking Holt because he didn't have a base cards. Yeah I'm happy with 11 cards. It could've been worse

I uploaded the checklist from Topps, but please do not copy it over for the parallel sets yet.  I need to do a little tweaking on the team cards and the American League and National League cards so that I can link them to the appropriate players.  The set is supposed to get released Monday, but I suspect there will be some early releases in some stores around the country.

Thanks!

Other than the questionable inclusion of Ichiro (unless he's photographed in his "coaches" uniform) I'm actually pretty impressed with the Mariners checklist.  No complaints from me

I looked on ebay to see images and the us69 card for red sox  (veteran combo) is betts and jd martinez.  Thank you for putting the checklist up.

I was able to get a few small boxes today, am I going to mess something up if I put up the pictures for the base set?

No. Thank you for scanning them!

Lots of problems with the checklists.

1. The base set is missing all of the variations.
2. Chrome Sapphire Edition got double uploaded (so there is 2 of each card)
3. The Clear set has the completely wrong checklist.

Please, take the extra minute / 5 minutes / hour to ensure the entire listing is there, and is correct. With the 2 sets where the checklists could be deleted, we cannot, because there is already want lists posted with those cards. Cards in one case don't even exist.

I thought after I begged everyone NOT to post the series 2 checklist until the variations were known (and included with the initial upload), that I wouldn't have do to that again. I will be requesting assistance from those who have erred.
