Topps High Tek - Wave

By Brian Fleischer | Senior Market Analyst

The newest edition of Topps Tek released today in the form of 2014 Topps High Tek and with it comes a base set featuring 12 different background patterns — some more difficult to find than others.

While secondary market information is still sparse, we’ve scoured eBay and have been able to determine 11 of the 12 background patterns. Please note that the descriptions listed below are subject to change. The cards are printed on clear acetate, so the blue and black colors shown are the background of the scans, and not printed on the actual card. We will update this post as more information becomes available.

    How about the parallel? Are all 12 patterns available?

    Now about the autographs? It appears only one pattern has been choosen by topps (ie see ebay Omar Vizquel autograph cards) both live and completed….all the same pattern but different levels (#/#d)

    You are missing the stripe pattern, rumored to be 5 or less, I have a Nolan Ryan on ebay right now

    Blair – You seem to be correct about the autographs. The parallels only seem to exist for the Wave and Spiral Bricks versions.

    Sean – Thanks! The story has been updated.
