2022 Topps parallels
Just looked in the database and there are 17 parallel versions for this year's release including printing plates.
That makes Pacific Trading Cards look tame!
I bought a box of 1996 Studio yesterday, thank you very much!

RE: 2022 Topps parallels
Have to add at least one more to that list. The Gold Foil parallels are not even listed yet.
Collecting Robin Yount, Brewers Topps parallels, Brewers autos and Jonathan Lucroy in a Brewers uni.

I think the parallel explosion is nuts, but fun to chase.
I think the Prizm variations/parallels #s are insane!!! Select is right there also..
I have a soft spot for Pacific..always liked their stuff...miss them

I was too close to the situation to appreciate Pacific.
They felt like a knockoff Rolex you'd buy in Mexico...

When you go to the grocery store, do the plain brown or tan bags and boxes catch your eye, or do the colorful and designed brands get you to grab them? That is what Pacific and parallels do for the hobby.
If all I had to choose from was Topps and Donruss, I would never have collected cards...boring!

Pinnacle inserts and designs were the best from the era.
