The 2017 Topps Opening Day variations mark the fifth consecutive year for the short prints. Like flagship Topps and a handful of other sets each year, the focus is on offering alternate photos for select base cards.

Opening Day variations may not gain quite the same level of traction as comparable SSPs in the main Topps release or Topps Heritage, but they do offer a hunt that are usually most popular with team and player collectors.

The theme here is that there isn’t a defined theme. The photos standout as being somewhat out of the ordinary. From batting cage close-ups to pitchers with bats to pink suit jackets, there’s a lot of variety.

2017 Topps Opening Day variations are not easy to find. They fall 1:256 packs. That’s about 1:7 boxes or two to three per 2017 Topps Opening Day Baseball case.

It’s worth noting that 2017 Topps Opening Day has some additional inserts that are similar to variations but are on their own. Both the National Anthem and Stadium Signatures sets have a front design that’s like both the base cards and variations but with separate numbering. They’re both extremely tough pulls like the variations.
