2018 Series One Checklist

Yesterday Topps released the checklist for Series One, sort of.  The PDF is here.


The checklist includes the names of the players, but there are no card numbers. I'm not sure why they didn't include them.  EDIT - Apparently Topps is holding off on the numbers until they reveal which player is getting #1.

As far as Cub, I'll be chasing after these:

Alex Avila
Javier Baez
Willson Contreras
Ian Happ
John Lackey
Jon Lester
Jose Quintana
Anthony Rizzo
Kyle Schwarber
Koji Uehara

That is a significantly smaller number of Cubs compared to last year.  Not winning the World Series might have something to do with that!

 I also question the inclusion of Avila, Lackey, and Uehara, who are all unsigned free agents that most likely won't end up with the 2018 Cubs.  What a waste of three Cubs slots.

For you collectors of other teams, here's the checklist sorted by teams:

  1. I saw on Twitter, from Topps, that they are waiting for the big reveal of who is card #1 before they release a checklist with numbers. We all know it's going to be Aaron Judge... so just on with it already!
    I've been told in the past that Series 1 is supposed to pay homage to the previous season, thus the inclusion of Lackey, Avila and etcetera. Not a fan of that mindset myself.

  2. Interesting that there is a photo of a Bryant card but no Bryant card in the base checklist??

    I wonder if the photo choice will change before Series 2 is released.

    1. Just saw it somewhere else with the Opening Day logo on it so I guess he's a Series 2 preview. Now the date below the umpire/fielder make sense too.

    2. Shhhhh!! I took the Opening Day card removed the logo.

  3. I'm sad to see that they seem to be doing solo-player "league leader" cards again, even for players who placed 2nd or 3rd in stat categories. The multi-player leader cards used to be great, but since they stopped giving them unique designs, they've look pretty awful and 2017's were just pitiful.
