Description
The general flagship layout remains, but there’s no mistaking Topps Holiday. From green and red accents in the nameplate to candy cane edges around the inner frame, there should be no confusion. Oh, yeah, there are all sorts of addition white holiday patterns running through the backgrounds. Subtle, these are not.
Parallels add some familiar glitter. Every other pack has a Metallic Holiday card. The key to spotting these is looking at the background pattern. Parallels have a dusting of glitter that base cards don’t. One-of-one Gold Metallic Holiday versions can also be found.
Over the past couple of years, Topps Holiday Baseball has carved out a niche with its variations. Instead of using different photos, players get various Christmas- or winter-themed additions. Be on the lookout for things like random Christmas lights, candy cane bats and Santa hats. Most of these are really obvious once you notice them, but some can be a little tricky.
