2021 Topps Spotlight 70 Baseball Checklist, Team Set Lists and Details
2021 Topps Spotlight 70 Baseball is offers another artistic look back on seven decades of baseball cards from the card maker. This time, it’s through the eyes and paintbrush of Andy Friedman.
Instead of the usual superstar suspects, Friedman opts for more of a fan favorites approach. Think Kevin Bass instead of Mike Trout, Ron Washington over Ronald Acuna Jr., and Ken Griffey Sr. rather than his son.
As for the cards themselves, Friedman recreates cards from the past using watercolors. The result is more abstract than photorealistic but also filled with color.
A total of 70 players are on the 2021 Topps Spotlight 70 checklist, each with a handful of parallels: Spotlight 70 Stamp (/70), Glossy Stock (/50), Red Back (/10), Rainbow Foil (/5), and CMYK 4-Color Test Prints (1/1).
Fifteen players have variations randomly inserted as well.
Autographs land 1:3 packs, there are 32 different signers. These use stickers for the signatures.
Finally, Friedman pays tribute to bubble gum sticks through sketch cards.
Each pack, which is available through the Topps website, comes with ten cards.
Packs are available for four weeks through August 19 or while supplies last.

Drawing a stick of gum and selling it for money…man did I pick the wrong line of work.
Pretty sure the other 85 paintings he did are the main component of this project.
