2018 Topps Factory Set Baseball Hobby (Box)

The 2018 Topps Baseball factory set is your way to fast-track a collection of the Series 1 and Series 2 base sets.

It’s a line with so much tradition and history that it carries over into how people collect it, just not the content. Some love the sport and may have a passion for cards — just not the work involved in putting a set together, sorting through doubles and getting inserts that might not be part of that tradition.

Enter the factory set. It comes with all the base cards nicely packaged in a custom box.

And some extra exclusives as an added bonus.

Traditionally Topps Baseball factory sets come in several versions with hobby and retail being the most common. But there can also be special edition versions for specific stores or events. Generally, the bulk of the content is the same with the base set being the focal point. But the bonus cards and other subtleties make them slightly different.

2018 Topps Baseball Factory Set – Hobby Edition

The hobby version is the one available at card shops. It starts with all 700 cards found in 2018 Topps Series 1 and Series 2. Also inside is a pack of five exclusive parallels. Printed on foil board card stock, they’re not available in other packs or factory sets. They also come serial numbered to 190.
