2018 Topps Inception

From BaseballCardPedia.com


Description

2018 Topps Inception is a 100-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets on June 27th. Each seven-card box will contain four base cards, two parallels, and an autograph.

Originally, Inception was scheduled for a late March release; but Topps pushed it back three months. Curiously, Shohei Ohtani does NOT have a Rookie Card in the product -- although he does have a few autographs.

Distribution

Seven cards per box (MSRP: $75). 16 boxes per case. Hobby only.
