Overall I think flagship retail and hobby will be more than readily available for a long time.

Also some just don't sell them or sell very few so it may look like it is drying up due to that.

LCS surprisingly had some blasters, retail is impossible to find here in Canada...pulled this beauty Royal Blue color match Carter rc.

They've already had us chasing rainbows for years. The process of assimilation is nearly complete.

So Topps lied? Or was this just a supposed pack pulled 1/1 stamped card that anybody can fake?

Excellent reaction.

Almost done with the set so I’m slowing down on hangers and blasters. But besides that, the Target I pass by on the weekends has been empty of cards.

[wiper]

been holding off on entering julio’s hr challenge entry i had, he still had 0 until last night. noticed the sp for texas had given up 5 already this year so i figured why not… wasn’t thrilled that he hit it 429 feet bc i’m a sissy and didn’t pick over 425 feet, kinda fun to win though.

probably won’t be a ton of winners too.

What is this parallel called? It’s been driving me nuts trying to figure it out. Thank you in advance!

also, the Gunnar and Yamamoto pics above are from Series 2…Series 1 had a different set of “Holiday” parallels (Easter-based, not 4th of July)

So I was just looking through TCDB about the Team Color Border Variation cards in 2024 Flagship and they have them listed as 300 cards in series 1, 325 cards in series 2 (the entire main set series 1 & 2 is 700 cards). The missing cards are:

Series 1 - 2 Padres Team Card, 6 Tigers Team Card, 38 Alonso / Lindor Checklist, 57 AL Wins Leaders, 65 Johan Oviedo, 70 Acuna Jr / Albies Checklist, 80 JP Sears, 96 Christian Bethancourt, 106 AL RBI Leaders, 109 Michael Kopech, 126 Phillies Team Card, 132 Astros Team Card, 133 McLain / De La Cruz Checklist, 138 Ohtani / Betts Checklist, 140 Brad Keller, 147 JJ Bleday, 149 AL Batting Leaders, 154 Braves Team Card, 155 Lopez / Correa Checklist, 159 Luis Rengifo, 165 Cubs Team Card, 167 Kiermaier / Varsho / Springer Checklist, 179 AL HR Leaders, 181 Luke Raley, 183 Dodgers Team Card, 190 Perdomo / Marte Checklist, 192 Orioles Team Card, 206 NL Batting Leaders, 211 Rays Team Card, 212 NL ERA Leaders, 238 Reds Team Card, 241 Mariners Team Card, 252 Marlins Team Card, 260 NL HR Leaders, 275 Harper / Schwarber Checklist, 276 Gregory Santos, 279 Angels Team Card, 288 Red Sox Team Card, 293 NL RBI Leaders, 301 Yankees Team Card, 302 Jake Rogers, 309 NL Wins Leaders, 315 Rizzo / Judge Checklist, 316 Kutter Crawford, 320 Daniel Bard, 324 AL ERA Leaders, 329 Maldonado / Valdez Checklist, 334 Ryne Nelson, 340 Austin Gomber, 342 Maikel Garcia

Series 2 - 358 Patrick Bailey Checklist, 371 Crow-Armstrong / Suzuki Checklist, 378 Rutschman / Henderson Checklist, 401 Freeman / Betts Checklist, 413 Trout / Witt Jr. Checklist, 417 Nationals Team Card, 424 Betts / Devers Checklist, 428 Nola / Realmuto Checklist, 439 Guardians Team Card, 453 Giants Team Card, 464 White Sox Team Card, 481 Albies / Freeman Checklist, 490 Cardinals Team Card, 498 Rangers Team Card, 514 Royals Team Card, 526 Rockies Team Card, 533 Romy Gonzalez, 557 Mets Team Card, 558 Diamondbacks Team Card, 604 Blue Jays Team Card, 653 Correa / Lewis Checklist, 656 Seager / Semien / Garcia Checklist, 688 Athletics Team Card, 692 Twins Team Card, 696 Pirates Team Card

Is there any rhyme or reason why the checklist looks like this? Also I can't find any source that confirms why certain cards weren't made, but can confirm the last 3 Rockies cards I need for this team set are on this list.

EDIT - So I added in each card - most of the list is checklist, team, and league leader cards. League leader cards make sense to leave out since the players on them represent multiple teams. All the checklist cards are mostly players on the same team so many of these could of been included. Team cards? Why not? Strange how Topps decides what to include / not include when it come to parallels like this.

[zworykin]

They didn't make the team logo cards (I refuse to call them 'team color' - they're logos!) for Combo / Checklist or League Leaders cards, which makes sense as those often feature players from multiple teams. They also didn't make them for the straight up Team cards, which does NOT make sense, but hey, Topps gonna Topps.

There's still a smattering of regular players cards that didn't get them either according to the TCDB checklist. I wish I knew the reason why they weren't included, or at least a source confirming that the data is correct (I assume it is based on the cards I need have never surfaced):

Series 1 (15 cards):
65 Johan Oviedo (Pittsburg Pirates)
80 JP Sears (Oakland Athletics)
96 Christian Bethancourt (Tampa Bay Rays)
109 Michael Kopech (Chicago White Sox)
140 Brad Keller (Kansas City Royals)
147 JJ Bleday (Oakland Athletics)
159 Luis Rengifo (Los Angeles Angels)
181 Luke Raley (Tampa Bay Rays)
276 Gregory Santos (Chicago White Sox)
302 Jake Rogers (Detroit Tigers)
316 Kutter Crawford (Boston Red Sox)
320 Daniel Bard (Colorado Rockies)
334 Ryne Nelson (Arizona Diamondbacks)
340 Austin Gomber (Colorado Rockies)
342 Maikel Garcia (Kansas City Royals)

Series 2 (1 card):
533 Romy Gonzalez (Chicago White Sox)

Pirates x1, Angels x1, Tigers x1, Red Sox x1, DBacks x1, Athletics x2, Rays x2, Royals x2, Rockies x2, White Sox x3,

Daniel Bard, Austin Gomber, and Rockies Team Card. Seems like no team cards got them, but for Bard and Gomber I have never seen a copy of either surface ever.

They did make them for team cards. I pulled a Seattle Mariners team border card.

Edit: I'm an idiot. This thread is about 2024.

Your card is a 2025. This is for last years set - 2024.
