I watched the other night on the MLB channel the top 100 MLB players for 2018. That got me thinking. Could I collect all 100 of the top 100 Topps Rookie cards. I have the Trout Update Rookie so the hardest one I have. So thats 1 down and 99 to go. I will post as I progress through my 2018 Challenge. Let me know if anyone else decides to do the same thing. It could be a lot of fun and you would have a nice binder of some great rookie cards !!!!!!

Cool idea! Look forward to seeing your progress!

Always nice to see folks "challenge" themselves with a new collecting idea. I'll piggy-back on your idea and give it a shot. Need to find the list. Guess it will be on MLB.com. Good luck!

I'd like to see that list too and see just how many of the 100 I already have.

I did a Google search and typed in mlb top 100 players and it gave me the web page.....

I have all my rcs stored two different ways. The ones I call my better ones are in penny sleeves and top loaders. The rest in a 5000 ct box. I have just begun to see how many of the top 100 I have rcs of. So far out of the first 50 I have 30 in top loaders and am searching for some of the others in the other box.

I found seven more in the other box so that makes 37 out of the top 50. I think I will rest before I tackle the bottom 50.

Not at all. Let's have some fun with it and see if other people want to join in.I see that cspen has already taken the lead with 37. Lol. Thanks for posting the list. I will start working on it tomorrow myself. Will have to wait till June to get the Topps Ohtani RC....

I have looked at rookie cards until i'm cross eyed. It seems I have at least one rc of 65 out of the top 100. I doubt there are very many that I don't have that I will try to find. If any of you guys who are putting this together need any, let me know who you need and if I have extras of any of them maybe we can make a deal.
