2020 Topps Stickers Baseball Forum

Hey-o. I've got checklists for this *almost* ready. The packaging clearly says that there are 237 stickers in this set. However, there are four entries not listed on the checklists floating around out there (Cardboard Connection, Beckett, etc) and Topps does not have a checklist on its site. It seems the four missing might comprise the four-panel insert you get with the album.

The missing numbers are: 56, 153, 205, 214. I haven't been able to pick up an album yet, so I can't be certain.

There's a similar issue with the backs, which are numbered separately this year. There are checklists of the 200 card backs, except that #200 is marked TBA.

Uploading this one as-is and updating that checklist spot once its found seems logical. For the stickers, though, I'm not sure what to do. Do we upload the checklist without those numbers? Do we upload it with those numbers and missing info in those spots? What's the best course of action here?

Please wait until you've been able to confirm what the deal is with tthose numbers. Thank you.

A question that has to be answered first is do the backs have multiple front variations? I do see that some of the fronts have dual stickers, so it's possible the math checks.

Last year they only numbered the back. Now they numbered the front and back.

If there are no variations, my suggestion would be to list them based on the back number, with the front numbers listed in the Note 2. If there are variations, then definitely don't load the set yet!

Ah, right. Hadn't dawned on me that we might have back/front variations. The league-leader and award trophy stickers are all two to a "card." The mascots are four to a "card."  I'll hold off for now.

I have the sticker album, those four are the stickers that are included. They don't have cards on the back, just card #, name and copyright. I haven't seen the stickers in stores yet. I got my book from Topps.com. It was only 2$ and I was ordering other stuff. Now that I look closer, I notice the cards aren't perforated this year. It's a sticker sheet so the cards don't separate unless you peel them.

#56 Justin Verlander

#153 Javier Baez

#205 Bryce Harper

#214 Fernando Tatis Jr

FYI: Some of the mascot cards are three to a card.

If this is a Sticker product, the sticker numbers are what drives the checklist, not the backs. See the 1988, 1989, and 1990 Topps Stickers for how multiple backs are handled here (if that's the case). The back information is what will go into Note2.

I got an album and a couple more packs yesterday.

1. Greg is right, the panel is not perforated and there are no "card backs" to it - just the numbers and names.
2. Dan - They numbered the stickers and backs separately this year. But I do believe that the multi-stickers and the four non-pack cards make the 237 (233, less the panel) stickers align with the 200 backs. I doubt we're going to see variations here.

• The league leaders and trophy stickers account for 32 stickers, and those come two to a "card."
• The mascot stickers come 4 to a "card" and there are 23 of those - I pulled one with a Topps sticker in one corner, so that would make it 24 (they did that last year to balance it too).
• The stickers on the panel were not inserted into packs last year, I anticipate the same this year with them missing from the released checklist.

237 - 16 (LL/trophy extras) - 18 (mascot extras) = 203. Count the extra unnumbered Topps sticker that rounds out a mascot panel and that's 204. If the 4 from the panel are not in packs, that gives us 200.

The stickers that come out of packs with 2 stickers on them (or 4) would be formatted as:

3 / 76 - Player 1 / Player 2 - Team 1 / Team 2

If you have any questions about the formatting or order or anything, please reach out. I'd rather this get uploaded right the first time than have 5 of us trying to fix it later.

I have stickers in hand and I don't think the listing for backs are correct if they are using the # on card
