| − | + | Base cards are available in 12 different background patterns -- six of the patterns are exclusive to American League players, while the other six are exclusive to National Leaguers. Unfortunately, unlike in the original Topps TEK sets, Topps did not bother to sequentially-number the patterns. Each of the six pattern "levels" is progressively scarcer, with Level 1 being the most common and Level 6 most rare. | |

Description
2014 Topps High TEK is a 600-card set released on December 3, 2014. After a 14-year hiatus, Topps has brought back the all-acetate card set popular with extreme set collectors. However, the format, based on low-numbered parallels and autographs, only bears a passing resemblance to the original product.
Each eight-card box will yield one autograph and one serial-numbered parallel.
Distribution
Eight cards per box (MSRP: $70). Hobby only.

Checklist
Promos
A set of six Promo cards were distributed to dealers to announced the return of the Topps High Tek brand. Each is stamped "PROMO" in the lower-right corner on the front. It appears that each card was only available in one pattern.
- HT-CF Carlton Fisk
- HT-CK Clayton Kershaw
- HT-CR Cal Ripken, Jr.
- HT-JB Jeff Bagwell
- HT-MT Mike Trout
- HT-YD Yu Darvish
Base Set
Base cards are available in 12 different background patterns -- six of the patterns are exclusive to American League players, while the other six are exclusive to National Leaguers. Unfortunately, unlike in the original Topps TEK sets, Topps did not bother to sequentially-number the patterns. Each of the six pattern "levels" is progressively scarcer, with Level 1 being the most common and Level 6 most rare.
Level 1: Wave & Spiral Brick
Level 2: Whirlpool & Grid
Level 3: Shattered Glass & Blast
Level 4: Cracked Ice & Microchip
Level 5: Circuit Board & Zig Zag
Level 6: Stripes & Shatter Stripes
