2021 Topps Update Series Baseball Cards Checklist

Just opened 2 regular hobby boxes not jumbo and I am not very happy with this release from Topps. I figured I would be close to a set. Boy, was I wrong. I received the exact same card collation in box boxes!!! I am missing over 40% of the base set. Not one Kelenic or India base rc??? Some cards I have 4 copies of??? Inserts were dull with no good names, foils, golds, 3d colors were junk. No case hits, no photo variations, some packs had nothing but base in them. One box I got a navy Baez Jersey card and a Jose Ramirez Jersey card. The other box I got one of those damn manufactured all-star patch cards… C`mon Topps, you can do better than this Oh well, you got your money and scr**** me out of mine once again.

Couple of issues with the checklist (Topps’ fault of course):

Tek insert card number TTA-18 Jarred Kelenic is actually printed as TTA-28 on the card.

70 Years insert card number 70YT-40 Luis Robert is actually printed as 70YTC-40 on the card.

Weird that there is the issue from last year’s update cards with backs/fronts not always syncing up. Unlike last year where there were practically no rookies (okay Cubs guy and an Tampa Bay version of RA) there are several decent people. Wander Franco? Topps EVERY SINGLE YEAR holds one or 2 rookies back. Topps Series I is their true money maker. What I will say is that insert wise they kinda have mailed it in…. but otherwise given price point not terrible at all

Barnes and noble

Question-opened a hobby box and got a 70 years of Topps signed by Bo Bichette, supposedly numbered to 10. There is no Topps auto certification on it nor is it numbered. What do I do? I thought it was a good product overall.

Hey: Where do collectors buy retail Hanger Boxes now that Target and Wal-Mart dont sell them anymore due to fistfights and hording. I want to pay retail for these products, not inflated eBay prices. Thanks.

A question – does anyone know if that Lindor photo in the blue jersey (fielding) is an actual card in this set?

It looks like a bug QC error to me! If you put the UPDATE card in a binder with all the “FACES” up and the look at the reverse side a lot of the cards are UPSIDE DOWN.

Good to see it finally arrive. Why am I not surprised half the cards are upside down again? Topps and their quality control has become a joke.

anyone else have issues with scratching off redemption codes? i have one i cant read a parallel auto of logan gilbert, lightly scratched it the stuff didnt come off, tried a bit harder still nothing, then i used my nail and it came off some but so did code number/letters… i also pulled a redemption for a 1/1 relic auto of mike yastrzemski that i’m afraid to try scratching the code box

I pulled some pretty nice cards. I do have a question though. I got a jesse winker all star stitches card that is numbered #’ed 20/50. The checklist on this website doesn’t show that there are any numbered cards in the all star stitches set checklist. And the ckecklist says there are 48 cards so that makes me think its not the 20th card of the set. Any insight on this??

So, is there any update as to when Topps will actually release 2021 Updates?
It was supposed to be Friday and it is now Tuesday and there is nothing on the website.

Over at Beckett, they are saying that Hale is actually #142.

Bought a bunch of hanger boxes that were clearly rushed to market. A bunch of cards were stuck to each other with ink transfer between them. Seems like it was specific sheet as I’ve gotten double of cards that both have chipped and transferred ink.
Also, anyone notice a good portion of the set is backwards when you collate it? Either the back or front (depending on how you want to look at it) are upside down when compared to the rest of the set! Line up the numbers, the photos go dirffent ways, line up the photos and number don’t line up. WTH!

Okay 4 boxes no 142. Checklist says it’s David Hale, but david Hale is card #285. Does anyone know if there is a card #142?

So it look’s card #10 and #142 are short printed. 3 Jumbo boxes no #142 and only 1 #10. Anyone else have this issue.

Too many insert cards again. Mass out put of base cards kills the hobby. Topps needs to go back to a high number or series 3.

Still hard to read names. Ck list is off. I pulled a Taylor Walls Baseball stars black auto but was #’d to 79 not 199. Also got a Jason Giambi Baseball Stars auto red #’d /25. Opened my two usual boxes and got good auto’s.

Trey, the Topps 70th anniversary Chrome cards….in tins for S1, 2 per jumbo in S2…no word on Chrome versions for the Update 70? I built the set of both S1 and S2. Hoping to have all 210 in Chrome if possible…be a bummer if the last 70 aren’t Chromed at all.

I wonder who Topps will blame the release date
for Update on. Come on Topps get it together.

I heard that the Topps baseball 2021 update will be coming out of the October 13 now i heard that now October 27th or October 29th. When the Topps Baseball 2021 Update are going to be released.

Sorry guys and girls…..product has been delayed……..Topps told my hobby store…..the updates has been delayed….TBA…..New release date (old one was Oct 13) To Be Determined? Topps just keeps dropping the ball!

The release was bumped to October 27th

Topps actually puts out a checklist and THEN bumps the set to some undetermined future date? No wonder some people won’t miss them (though I have a lot of problems with Fanatics in general).

The Giants cards in this set, though few, are at least an improvement on last year’s set when they had two guys who never played on the team outside of spring training. It’s nice to see Darin Ruf after two years on the team, but I wish LaMonte Wade were also included. Logan Webb was passed over for Aaron Sanchez, but at least I can get Sanchez as a Giant this way. I know relievers are seldom included, so no McGee or Rogers (who has only had a shared Topps card). That’s probably the result of being cut to 330 cards, but it was smart to switch the All-Stars to an insert set to avoid even more omissions.

No Wander Franco! Topps should be embarrassed. Holding out Franco is obviously a money grab and I’m happy they lost the exclusive rights to MLB.

Seriously Topps?!? Trevor Rosenthal? The dude never even put on an Oakland A’s uniform all season much less throw a single pitch! Out ALL year on the IL as his entire body is “injured’! Look at the rosters you moron’s and get a clue as to who is actually is playing for a team!

Really disappointed that Topps didn’t put Franco in the set. Update looks like a bust like last year’s set. I’ll buy it but will wait when the price drops.

Not wasting 50 cards on all stars and giving other players a card deserves a 5 star rating. Now only get rid of the rookie debut and combo cards and give us 300 different player cards.

the RC is not signifying a true rookie care but a card that Topps has put a RC logo on.

A small correction of your rookie card list, US68 Justin Williams is not a rookie card as he had cards in 2019 Donruss and Prizm. US24 Bruce Zimmermann is a rookie card but Topps seems to have missed that on the checklist.

Also Dane Dunning and Andres Gimenez are not rookie cards as they both had cards in this years regular Topps set.

Luis Patino was in the regular set and is also not a RC.

Looks like no trade deadline updates after a cursory inspection of the checklist. I can understand holding out on rookies like Franco to try to pump up the 2022 product, but an update series should really highlight the late season acquisitions.

Trey quick question will this years Topps update series have guys that were traded during the trade deadline unlike last years set?

Very curious in regards to the “Cards That Never Were” inserts. As someone who does a little custom stuff in that vein, I’m curious what that would entail. Players with teams they never were featured on cardboard with? Earlier rookie cards?

I like the idea of cards that never were….but they should only do one version…….like the Topps Black Gold for all of the star or prospect players!

Where is the checklist Topps? Supposed to release tomorrow. Love the black gold cards!! I will put that set together.

Well the Topps Series 1 2022 post settles it. Thanks for the info Trey, you were right! I wonder if Kelenic will be in this series or pushed to S1 2022 as well.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been asked yet, but with Wander Franco’s debut in late June (22nd), will he have a card in Update, or will he be the feature for 2022 S1? What has been the past cut off for guys being called up?
