vetting82 · 01-12-2022, 01:37 PM

Im still actively collecting Josh Hader and trying to figure out all of the main Topps release variations for 2021. I know they added a lot of variations and something else always pops up that I missed. Please take a look at let me know if I'm missing anything besides what I already mention below.

Topps UK and Topps Japan editions?

vetting82 · 01-12-2022, 08:38 PM

There is no topps UK this year - it was replaced by topps Japan edition. Also, Japan edition was only 200 cards from the set and 100 of them were rookies. I had 15 boxes of Japan Edition, so I know

imbluestreak23 · 01-12-2022, 08:42 PM

Dang, I thought Poopini was bad.

Topps, you should be ashamed

I received an email from Topps yesterday offering 2021 Topps UK

Unfortunately it doesn't look like Hader is featured in the set.

That's what everyone was thinking, but they ended up doing both. Looks like Hader didn't make either though. Minis are still a possibility. 2020 was released 10/17/20 and Topps is a few months behind on releases now. Minis are actually a nice addition to building a rainbow, but singles will probably be very hard to come by with such a late release, relatively unpopular product, and a very unpopular RC class.

Was there a platinum anniversary /70 in series 2?

PapaStu · 01-13-2022, 01:04 AM

He didn't make it into the base set, but has a relic and auto in Topps Holiday 2021, which I'm mentioning only because you're displaying a relic from Opening Day.

Best as I can see from the checklists, there was no clear/acetate card this years flagship releases so that's one you can take off the list. Don't forget the plates from Flagship/Chrome though.

Love picture rainbows, good luck closing it out!

hotcalsun · 01-13-2022, 10:44 AM

I like what you did with the holders! Do you have a template that you would be willing to share? I would like to print a couple myself.

JRamIsTheKing · 01-13-2022, 11:51 AM

Impressive set so far, good luck finding those rare ones.

I am doing the same with Jose Ramirez. Currently sitting at 69 variations, and UK is just coming out so that will bump the number a bit.

As someone else mentioned, there is a /70 platinum anniversary. And yes, the clear does exist. Also, if you want to be further frustrated, there are cards in existence stamped as Topps Employee Edition. Very rare. The guy I saw posted on Facebook had the set but was unwilling to break at any price. there is one card on eBay right now (not your guy).

davidsb · 01-13-2022, 12:30 PM

Do you have the 2021 Topps 3D version of Hader? PM me if you need it, I am pretty sure I have an extra that I will send you. Thanks, Dave

Im still on the fence about the relics in Holiday. They have 5 or 6 different ones since they have auto and non auto. I do have the non auto to /25 so far. I just dont want to drop $500 chasing "santa hat" relics.

Dont get me started on obscure stuff- its frustrating. I did manage to track down the /1 foil board from the 2020 set.
