2020 Topps Baseball Forum

How are we going to handle the SSSPs in Topps Series 2? Topps kind of kept this under the radar upon release, but I was reading that there are SSSPs in both series 1 and 2 that are even rarer than SSPs. 

Here's a few examples:

Probably like the SSSP's in 2019 Topps Holiday.

I added the Mookie, the Luis, Bichette, Alverez is already in the checklist.  I got yelled at for putting SSSP in the notes and was told only SSP is allowed.  

1. I didn't yell at you

2. "SSSP" isn't a thing. "Super Super Short Print"? No.

How about SDSP? Super duper short print

@BigEd How do you propose that we indicate that the SSSPs are rarer than SSPs, then? Or are users just going to have to figure that out on their own? I guess you could put something in the notes, but it might just be easier to list them as SSSPs, especially since this probably isn't going to be a one-time stunt by Topps. 

It doesn't need its own category. 1/1s are "SSP", and you can't get more short-printed than that!

Okay, fair enough. I would recommend some sort of note then. I only say this because you know there are going to be people out there who want to put together a master set, and be awfully disappointed that they just cannot find 5-10 SSPs on ebay or something because they are so rare. (The SSSPs are estimated to only have 5-10 copies each)

So, for example, take the Mookie Betts one. List it like you said with the "SSP" monicker, then below in the notes say something like "SSSP: Hollywood" or "Super duper rare SSP: Hollywood." I don't know, something creative like that. 

I propose Triple Secret Probation, I mean Short Print ;)

Just call them STG - Stupid Topps Gimics
