2018 Topps Opening Day Baseball Cards

Fun set to collect and cool insert cards at a low price

I just completed a set and these cards just look so colorful in hand. The backs also make this a cool set. The different colors. Topps has really refined its cards and made them look the classics. The blurry backgrounds give the cards a 3-d look which just enhances the color of the set. This works.

I give it 5 stars

A nice low budget set to collect. The no borders design tends to grow on you

The odd thing is that the cheaper price OD cards are thicker and less bendable than the Flagship set.

If your looking for a major hit your most likely going walk away disappointed. But if your looking for a fun super cheap set to build or simply want to load up on affordable Ohtani rookie cards this is the one to buy. Blaster boxes go for $9.99 and your going to find most of the big names rookies like Ohtani, Hoskins, Devers in just about every box. Opening Day is made for the younger collectors or for those on a budget.

I agree with Brian and Chris Donati – no love for Stomper or Lou so I won’t be buying the product. I was going to do a set initially because I like this year’s flagship design and didn’t want to spend the money putting a regular set together. Oh well, I’ll just find the cards of the teams/players I like and call it a day.

Let’s say there was an error at the Topps plant and you bought a 99 cent pack. You opened it and you got all 25 mascot cards. How pissed off would you be?

“…lovable Mascots cards.” C’mon. The author cannot actually believe these are ‘lovable’. Just garbage.

As alluded to in previous comments, there is so much crap being passed off as inserts. Garbage.

Take a look at TTC-SC “Sweet Caroline” and ask yourself: “is this a card that really needed to be made?”

Even though I didn’t pull an Orbit, this is always a fun break at a great price!

For one time TOPPS always hits the nail on the head with these boxes!!! Opened a new 2018 box today & got a complete with the plenty of inserts & only 9 duplicate cards… For a set collector, the collation of cards is a wonderful addition to TOPPS who normally isn’t that great with making a set/box… Kudos to TOPPS!!!

Topps needs to make a Christian Yelich Milwaukee Brewers card. Not having one is a major disappointment

If you scan the blaster it will ring up $9.99. The $19.99 price is an error.

No love for Lou Seal or Stomper. In fact both teams get no autographs, relics, or mascot cards. I won’t be buying this till that changes Topps.

I went to Target tonight and saw these for sale. A blaster of 11 packs was priced at $19.99. Individual packs were only $.99. I don’t understand this pricing. I checked and it appeared that the odds listed on the side were the same so I can’t understand the reasoning for the price increase since there didn’t appear to be a guaranteed relic or autograph in the blaster box. Am I missing something here?

No Oriole Bird mascot again?!?! This is the 3rd year in a row without him! Like Brian stated, there are 4 Reds mascot, let’s mix it up a little better Topps!

Do you think the shohei othani base card or opening day card #/2018 will be worth much? How much do you think they will go for?

Once again Topps has no love for the Oakland Athletics mascot, Stomper the Elephant. Or Lou Seal for the SF Giants either…but FOUR mascots for the Reds? C’mon Topps get a clue…

Usually I skip Opening Day because its the same design as the main Topps release which is also very budget friendly but with the first official Ohtani rookie card in this set I am going to have to check it out.

so Topps is on the market.. up for sale.. because they are losing money on making Baseball cards.
How much do they pay for that major league dirt… thats gotta be the killer in the budget right there.
I want cards with real game used pinetar or rosin and used sunflower seed shells from the ballpark.
I didnt say used gum because then you might think I was being silly.

Super fun, affordable set for real collectors, not gamblers.

…a fun product to open! The SSP and SP seem to hold their value really well.

The dirt cards look intriguing.

I love the price of 99 cents a pack. I am always able to add something to my collection from these packs. I recently bought one of those $20 Fairfield Company mixed boxes from Target. One of the packs was a 2016 Topps Opening Day. I pulled a “Wally the Green Monster” mascot autograph.

Love me some Opening Day! Opened a case with my son last year and will do another one or two in 2018. Last year it was advertised that the blue parallels would be numbered /2017. They were not. I’m going to assume that they won’t be numbered again despite what this article says. I wish they were though.
