Please note that the following includes only 2024 Topps Series 2 Baseball retail details. Hobby info and exclusives will be added when they become available.
2024 Topps Series 2 Baseball is the second half of the season’s central flagship set. It fills in some gaps, expands others and still finds a way to introduce some new ones as well (Hot Dogs parallels, anyone?).
2024 Topps Series 2 Baseball Checklist Overview
Like the first release, the core of Series 2 is its base set. Consisting of another 350 cards, it brings the total 2024 Topps Baseball checklist up to 700 cards.
