2023 Topps Baseball Forum

Have the checklists been posted yet, I can't find anything?

I opened 3 boxes, pulled a James Outman Red Parallel #1/10. Have some others available to trade if anyone is looking.

Oversized card numbering seems to mimic the Collector Box standard card numbering.

It appears the Oversized card numbering order matches the Collector Box Standard Card ... so if player is OTCSP-1 then they are also CTC-1. I am uncertain is if all player in the 25 card set has a SP Variation Oversized AND a Base Oversized... or only one. Anecdotally it seems each player might has a base and a SP Photo Variation Oversized.

This is what I have oversized

OTCSP-1 - Mike Trout

OTCSP-3 - Aaron Judge

OTCSP-4 - Acuna Jr.

OTC-5 - Rutschman RC

OTC-6 - Pete Alonso

OTC-8 - Juan Soto

OTC-9 - Julio Rodriguez CUP

OTC-19 - Jordan Walker RC

This is what I pulled from Collectors Box Cards Set

CTC-2 - Ohtani

CTC-4 - Acuna Jr (photo is different than SP oversized)

CTC-6 - Pete Alonso (same pic as base oversized)

CTC-9 - Julio Rodriguez CUP (same pic as base oversized)

CTC-10 - Gunnar Henderson RC

CTC-11 - Mookie Betts

CTC-13 - Yordan Alvarez

CTC- 20 Mastaka Yoshida RC

I don't have anywhere near a set on the Flagship cards, tons of dupes of certain players. Really dragging to go through them because its kinda PITA and Topps should have listed this set checklist already. By the time I do it I'm sure they'll list it. I dont mind do the oversized because there's fewer and Topps seems to never list those in a checklist. 

I think the flagship collection is a better price for set builders as you get more overall for less than $10 more

I have the completed checklist for the oversize cards. There are 20 cards listed OTC-1 thru OTC-20, and 5 cards listed OTCSP-1 thru OTCSP-5.  Those are the 25 oversize cards mentioned on the box. 

Strosfan2017 said the box states oversized SP cards are 1 in 5 boxes.  But if you do the math and all cards OTC and OTCSP were produced at the same rate, then yes, 1 in 5 boxes will have an OTCSP card, but they are not actually short printed. 
 

Given this, my plan is to list all the oversize cards in one continuous checklist. Thoughts?

Ok well, I spent the time and I have a complete Topps Flagship Collection Checklist (100 of 100) and partial Carrying the Flag Insert Set checklist (11 of 28?). I used the cards I pulled and did a search on ebay for the missing cards. I have an ebay store and I'll be listing my pulls soon utilizing the checklist I created.

How do I submit it or get it posted?

As you can see from my post count I am new to posting here. I've been utilizing this website for many years so I'm glad I'm glad I can finally contribute. :-)

Thanks for the legwork. Best best, submit an IR under 2023 Topps as a Missing Set and then post a link to where you have the checklist at, like Google Drive or the ilk. Then, maybe, post a link to the submitted IR here, so it's gets noticed as well.

AFA the oversized set... You might be correct about the first 5 being the SP subjects, but it does appear the SP are actually SP because OTC-1 though OTC-5 players ALSO have a base photo variation. So perhaps OTC-1 through OTC-25 have base images and OTCSP1 through OTCSP-5 are a photo variation.

I agree that 1-5 have a base and variant photo of the same player, but I have not seen any cards numbered 21-25, and lots of OTCSP cards.  That is why I believe 21-25 don’t exist and also don’t think OTCSP are actually short printed (based on the ratio of 1:5 boxes).  Have you seen any numbered between 21-25?

I was on the buying team at Costco that brought this item in.    When the item was presented to us, I was very worried about the value.  I tried to get all Update, assuming that people had already bought all the S1 and S2 that they would want.  But they wouldn't budge.  And I was going to pass, until they came up with the Costco exclusive set.   So its good to see that there's value to collector's.

The team is working to get a similar drop for Spring with 2024 S1.

That's awesome.  I agree with it probably would have been better with all update, but being mostly update is a plus.  I think it's the exclusive Flagship Collection set that sells the product.  Hopefully we'll get some of those up here in Alaska.
