2018 Topps On Demand Rookie Year in Review Baseball looks back on the season’s deep crop of first-year players. And it’s not just the superstar standouts either.
The checklist for the online-exclusive release takes a deep dive into the 2018 rookie class, offering up 49 players. Of course, there are players like Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuna Jr., Gleyber Torres and Juan Soto who have generated plenty of hobby discussion this year. But there are also some lesser-hyped youngsters.
Available for up to a week on the Topps website (barring an early sellout), each set initially cost $100. This includes a full 49-card base set, one parallel, two Rookie of the Year Tribute inserts as well as one autograph.
A total of 46 of the 49 players in the main set have autographs. Torres, Acuna Jr. and Rafael Devers are the only three who do not. While the initial mock-up for the autographs show on-card signatures, according to Topps, the final cards use stickers.
