2017 Topps Series 1 Baseball Variation Short Prints Gallery and How to Spot Them

February 1, 2017

2017 Topps Series 1 Baseball variation short prints are likely going to keep you looking and taking second glances. This has become a tradition over the past several years.

Want to know what you should be looking for?

Once again, Topps is opting for different photos on the variations. As far as spotting them goes, it’s much easier and distinct than patterns from the past like Sparkles, which last appeared in 2015 Topps Baseball.

David Ortiz Variations

Fresh off his final season, David Ortiz gets a lot attention among the variations. He’s featured on several cards. Just how many remains to be seen.

Most seem to revolve around his retirement tour, with final stops and tributes in several stadiums.

Finding 2017 Topps Series 1 Variations in Packs

Variations are not exclusive to any particular 2017 Topps Series 1 Baseball pack type. Both retail and hobby packs have them. As far as odds go, based on what’s printed on wrappers, it looks as though things have been streamlined somewhat. Rather than having one set of short prints and another group of even tougher super short prints, there’s just one group and it’s the latter.

Variations are inserted 1:678 hobby packs and 1:126 hobby jumbo packs. That puts them in line with SSP cards from other years. But the easier group of short print, often about one per box, appear to be gone.

Confirming SSP Variations with Codes on the Back

In addition to the different images, you can once again double-check with the codes on the back in the fine print. Base cards end in 1730. Codes for variations end with 1786. This isn’t what the codes are meant for, but it works.

Below is a list of the confirmed 2017 Topps Series 1 Baseball variation short prints (obviously, we’re just getting started). After that is a gallery to make things even easier.

Troy Tulowitzki no longer plays for the Colorado Rockies.
Michael L Pereira 2 February, 2017 at 20:05

Got to say Topps might have learned something from Stadium Club fans and got some really good photo shots. But that name design just sucks. Not a homerun but a good triple depending on value.
Raylon Ruggles 3 February, 2017 at 19:04

Good LORD !!! . . . it’s like every player or card. This going to be tough to complete my master base set of 2017. Looks like there’s going to be 800 cards in this years set.
Mills 6 February, 2017 at 19:13

I just don’t know if I can stomach the few thousand it would take to get all of them.
Mitch 23 February, 2017 at 12:44

Not sure its a good idea to have photos of the players talking, smirking and not paying attention during (what apears to be) the National Anthem. Love the overall look of the cards. Thanks for extending to the edge of the cards.
Mike Smith 23 April, 2017 at 21:08

I’ve opened enough 2017 Topps Series #1 to have enough for a FEW master sets…..I’m at 2,400 Base, 200+ Inserts……I mixed it up a lot this year…..Hobby Packs, Hobby Jumbo Packs, Retail Packs, Retail Jumbo, Hanger Boxes, Value Boxes, Etc… the Good Cards……(14) Gold Parallels (None even rise to semi-star level), (12) Rainbow Foil Parallels (Same as the “Gold” Parallel) (1) Jersey, Base Jason Heyward Piece….oh, and a Black Parallel of Blake Snell…..the real kicker is I don’t have a SINGLE MIKE TROUT (BASE let alone any kind of Parallel) & only (1) Andrew Bentandini (RC) but (32) of Jacoby Jones (RC)!! Topps Inc. doesn’t care at all, I’ve been trying for years to just get an e-mail back from them on a few VERY important questions, like if a particular card that I pulled & I wasn’t sure if it was a mistake, SSSSSSSP, Buyback, Etc.. yet was never returned on any of them……After becoming disabled I had to sell off my entire collection out of pure desperation and since it had been over 4 years of trying to get any info. on the card I had to put it in with my entire collection which a month later it finally came out that it is the RAREST ERROR CARD, Not Supposed to be released Cards EVER…….There were 20x less than the 1991 Frank Thomas NNOF Error…..they just wouldn’t tell me about it b/c I raised a stink about the PACK RIGGING, Searching, Etc… that is going on and they didn’t like it to much!! Now my daughter and me have nothing, no help, can’t work (LITERALLY) and don’t qualify for any benefits due to my former attorney’s mistake but the mistake fell within some b.s. rule that only the Social Security Administration would/could have in place, so while we slowly sell off everything in our lives just to get by another day Topps is making ABSURD amounts of money every day but won’t answer a single question, take back any of the products I video recorded me buying opening and having the whole pack filled with the same player, Completely Empty “Value Boxes”, Boxes filled with 90’s Topps Commons, I even have one of a sealed box that had nothing but a Matchbox car in it…………………………RIGGED?????????????? GREED…..SMH I grew up loving Topps, I had no clue just how corrupt they really are!!!!

  Sorry to hear. If you’re opening blasters and getting nothing but old cards, no cards, things other than cards, it is an issue at the retail store you purchased it. People are buying the blasters, pulling out the contents, replacing them with garbage, rewrapping them and returning them. It’s one of the saddest scams out there, but it happens.
Robert Wilhite 15 September, 2017 at 00:01

This is sad, all them cards to make a master set.
