2024 Topps Archives Baseball is another nostalgia bomb. Drawing from several decades worth with content, both in designs and players, it takes a “something for everyone” approach once again. The themes may be old, but the cards are new with a variety of chase elements. This includes the promise of two on-card autographs in every hobby box. The base set is 300 cards. Within that are three different designs, seemingly chosen at random from the flagship Topps Baseball vault: 1961, 1970 and 1994. All get several parallels as well. Pink Foilboard are exclusive to hobby and land approximately 1:3 packs. Purple Foilboard are only in collector tins, falling four per box. Blaster-style value boxes have four Black parallels while fat packs have one Yellow. The remaining parallels all come serial numbered: Select cards also have Image Variations. Like past Archives sets, there are also further Design Variations that stick with a specific layout. Fan Favorites Autographs return as the main source of signatures in 2024 Topps Archives Baseball. Collectors can expect a mix of names from the past several decades, some who might not sign a lot of cards today. This set gets its name for focusing on local favorites and players who had brief stints of greatness that are looked back on fondly. Like the base set, designs are rooted in past flagship releases: 1968, 1983, 1995 and 2000.
