Checklist

Base Set

NOTES:

• As with the previous year's High Tek, there are 15 different background patterns (that we know of) in 2016 Topps High Tek with eight patterns (designated with an "A" in the checklist below) exclusive to half the set, and the other half ("B") with their own set of seven background patterns.
• Each pattern level is tiered with the most common patterns (which we've designated as patterns 1A and 1B) coming at the rate of two-per-box, and the most scarce (pattern 6) seeded every other case.
• The "B" players do not have a pattern 6.
• Patterns 7 and 8 are known as the SpeckTEKular and Black Galactic Diffractors. Each SpecTEKular is serial-numbered to three copies while each Black Galactic Diffractor is a one-of-one.
• All players are depicted in Away or Alternate uniforms.
