Exclusive 2017 Topps Silver Packs Checklist and Details — Now with 100% More Series 2
In case you were wondering where to buy your 2017 Topps Series 1 and Series 2 Baseball boxes, the card maker has created an incentive for hobby shops and other outlets selling hobby boxes. They can now get exclusive Silver packs with 1987 Topps Chrome cards.
This isn’t a Chrome version of the actual 1987 set — there’s enough of the original out there already. Rather, it’s a chromium insert set featuring veterans, rookies and retired players. 2017 Topps Series 1 has a basic (non-Chrome) insert set revolving around the design as well.
The 2017 Topps Silver Pack base set has 50 cards for each series. That means 100 total cards between Series 1 and Series 2 Veterans, retired stars and rookies are all included. Base versions come with a Prism Refractor background, separately them from something that’s traditional Topps Chrome. Parallels include Green (/150), Blue (/99), Orange (/75), Gold (/50), Red (/5) and Black (1/1).
Autographs are also randomly inserted. While most of the signers are young players, there are several superstars as well. Kris Bryant, Clayton Kershaw and Mike Trout headline the checklist.
Collectors who buy a 2017 Topps Baseball hobby box from a shop or dealer participating in the program get one of the exclusive packs. The more expensive hobby jumbo boxes are good for two packs.
The program feels like a revamped version of the Spring Fever program Topps has had for the past few years.
The Silver packs also similar to Upper Deck Overtime Hockey, another series of bonus packs used as incentives for box purchases.
As with any hobby promotion, it’s always wise to check with your local dealer to confirm that they’re participating in the program before committing to buy.

I think this is the result of Topps irritating many hobby shops by throwing the 2016 Bowman Platinum to retail only. Of course, there are likely many other things that Topps did to hobby shops that this is intended to ease the frustration.
OK Topps where do we get the silver packs, when we buy from an oulet by volume?
There are NO Hobbies shops over a hundred miles from here
you know a product is bad when a card manufacturer has to create incentive packs.
I don’t see any reason to incentive the purchase of series 1 as it’s the most anticipated release of the hobby world each year. If Series 1 is not flying off the shelves, put the effort into making it better instead of creating incentive packs.
To be fair, the incentive packs were announced around the same time as the original product. I believe this replaces the Spring Fever sets of the past few years with a couple of tweaks.
These look great! Not sure why all the negative comments…I like it. I’d be buying flagship anyway, so why wouldn’t I love a bonus! Donaldson to me please.
Lynn — anywhere you can buy boxes or cases , you should get them , with them. I got 24 from blowout with my 2 cases (coming to me today).
love chrome , so 100% building this set.
It would have been nice of Topps to more accurately list the number of actual cards one receives in each pack. The wrappers list 5 cards, but in reality, each pack only has 4 of the Chrome cards and an ad card for 2017 National Baseball Trading Card Day. So why didn’t they just state on the wrapper that there are only 4 cards? Seems a little suspect to me.
Pulled a David Dahl /199 Auto in a silver pack
I don’t like the look of the regular series one cards. But I the look of the 1987 cards. Does anyone know where I can buy just the silver packs?
eBay is probably your best bet at this point: http://ebay.to/2nkI2ZV
I pulled a Jose Altuve autograph card from the silver pack. Anyone want to trade for an Andrew Benintendi autograph card. I’m a huge Red Sox fan.
will the silver pack cards in series two change, or do you have only a 50 set. I do like them and put together 20 set
How do I determine the value of the Clayton kershaw 87A-ck. 5/25

That said, it appears that particular card has not been priced yet.
I have acquired 8 packs so far. Should I just store them to wait and open them later.
