Although 1997 Topps Baseball is a fairly mundane year for the company's flagship set, it is complimented with a couple of rare, high-end inserts.

1997 Topps Baseball Cards 13 Spread over two series, 1997 Topps Baseball has 495 cards. Series 1 has 295 cards while Series 2 has 200. Several checklist quirks exist. First, 1997 marked the first year card 7 was intentionally left out. Topps announced it was retiring the spot in honor of Mickey Mantle. A pair of uncorrected errors led to two other numbers also being left out of the set. Number 84 does not exist. It was intended to be Mike Fetters, but he is on #61. Kevin Elster is also #61. Chipper Jones was supposed to kick off Series 2 with #277 but was mistakenly given #276, the same as one of the Series 1 checklists.

1997 Topps Baseball is a very weak set for decent rookie cards. Eric Chavez is the most significant. He shares a Draft Picks card with Adam Eaton.

Besides Draft Picks, other subsets include Prospects, which have three players, and Season Highlights. Each series also has two checklists. Jackie Robinson occupies #42, his jersey number. 1997 marked the 50th anniversary of Robinson breaking MLB's color barrier.

Base cards have a thin white border that gives way to a thicker color border. Fronts have very little info. Player photos are colorful and take up a lot of the front's real estate. A small team logo accompanies the picture. The player's name is written at the bottom of the card in gold foil. The first name is an outline while the last name has solid foil.

1997 Topps Baseball includes 17 additional Mickey Mantle reprints. His main cards were featured extensively in 1996 Topps Baseball. The 1997 cards highlight subset cards. Basic reprints, which have a gold foil logo on the front, come in Series 1. Series 2 includes Finest and Refractor versions.

Willie Mays gets a similar set of reprints. 1997 Topps Baseball Series 1 has the basic versions while Finest and Refractor versions are in Series 2. Nineteen of the 27 cards have a limited number of autographed versions as well.

The only other autograph in 1997 Topps Baseball is a big one. Derek Jeter has a commemorative Rookie of the Year autograph randomly inserted in Series 2 packs.

Standard for the company's flagship sets of the era, 1997 Topps Baseball has several basic insert sets. Inter-League Match Ups pairs American and National League players to honor the debut of Inter-League play. Each card has both a regular Finest version and a Refractor. The 14-card checklist includes players from all 28 MLB teams. Different types of foil play a major role in All-Stars, Awesome Impact, Hobby Masters, Sweet Strokes and Season's Best. Retail-exclusive Team Timber cards use a faux wood material.
