Topps 2024 design

[gt2590]

I like it but the grading fans probably won’t…

 

[Dazed]

I like it too! I prefer a border. Makes getting a grade 10 more difficult.

 

[mrmopar]

I don't mind these.

 

[nosterbor]

I like them.

 

[Dilferules]

I wonder how they are going to do the parallels...like for Gold cards will the black border towards the top be gold instead, or will the white space be gold so it's got a black/gold thing going on, or will they just make the whole border gold?

 

[gt2590]

The 4th parallels look nice IMO...

Cool concept, but doesn't strike me as a flagship design. Reminds me of the Neon sets from the Topps Bunt App.

WAY better than the 2023 design.

 

[Philip J. Fry]

It’s not bad, just curious as to what took them so long to release the design? Isn’t it usually around August/September?

Yes, they usually debut the design months ahead of time, but I expect things will change with Fanatics taking over fully and working out their own planning and scheduling. They do seem to favor holding all info until the last minute, though.

I like the design quite a bit. Something about it makes me think it was a design intended to be used for something other than the flagship set, but I like it anyway. The neon sign type of border is a fun way to include team colors. And I imagine it lends itself well to special printing or chrome versions. And I'm super happy they put some effort into what I presume is the Independence /76 design after a couple years of looking like Donruss. I regret not chasing the 2018 parallel set but might undertake it this year.

The first thing I thought of was I bet this will look nice as a chrome card!

I wonder what's going on with Cardboard Connection? They haven't updated 2024 S1 since they originally posted. No pics of the cards or a checklist.

I forgot Fanatics owns Topps now.

Borderless variations? I like it!

Checklist up too...

[gt2590]

"Base Hobby" boxes are less cards, 4 less packs.

Ohtani autos included, Angels uni...

 

[Hawk8]

Not a fan of the black to white border on every card, would have preferred team color match.

 

[Therion]

There are team color match variations.
