The baseball card release calendar for 2022 kicks off in a week as Topps releases its flagship product, 2022 Topps Series One. A 330-card set, Topps returns this year with a simple, yet traditional design and much less busy than last’s year set design. The card features a solid white border with a player picture framed by team colors with the team and player name under the picture and the team logo and player’s position in opposite corners.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice design created to draw the focus to the player picture, but it seems oddly similar to some of the Topps Big League releases from late in the last decade.
Topps Series One features an astounding 15 parallels for each of the 330-cards in the set, with some of the parallel sets having a print run as low as 25 and as high as 2,022, along with two parallel sets being numbered as one of one, including this year’s newest parallel, Platinum edition. Topps has been adding more parallel sets to its lineup each year, to the point that it’s getting a bit redundant.
The set also includes numerous insert sets, relics, and certified autographs, as well as 1987 Topps Baseball making another appearance, this time marking the set’s 35th anniversary. Topps previously included the 1987 Topps Baseball design in its 2017 set.
The release date for Topps Series One is February 16th. Topps cards are generally sold at all Target and Walmart stores, however, both stores removed the items from the shelves due to threats of violence against store employees. While some Target and Walmart stores have begun selling Topps products again, others have not. Topps Series One can also be purchased from your local card shop, Topps’ website, and eBay.
The base set includes rookie cards of Patrick Mazeika and Tylor Megill. Included in the insert sets you’ll find cards of many former Mets, including Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Mike Piazza, David Wright, and Tom Glavine.
