While it shares the Flagship design with 2022 Topps Series I and 2022 Topps Series II, it is not a sequentially numbered Series III, but a true update set with its own numbering scheme. Veterans in new uniforms and rookies make up the bulk of the set with several top rookies getting their flagship premiere. These include Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr., Spencer Torkelson, and Seiya Suzuki. Hobby consensus is that the set will not include the first card of Adley Rutschman, so we’ll have to wait for 2023 for his first Topps Flagship card. 2022 Topps Update Base DesignCheck out prices of 2022 Topps Update on eBay 2022 Topps Update parallelsCarrying forward the traditions of 2022 Topps Flagship, 2022 Topps Update has a rainbow of parallel variations available.

A 2021 Topps Update hobby box sells for around $60-70. Jumbo boxes are selling for around $120. 2020 Update hobby and jumbo hobby boxes are both selling for around $80. When it comes to single, the thing with Update is always who the rookie cards are. A special rookie can provide a high value return, whether you’re talking about singles or unopened. Think Mike Trout in 2011. Barring a premium rookie, Update can be a fun break with enough hits to keep it interesting without breaking the bank. Of course, the rub is that the quality of the rookies in an Update release isn’t always immediately evident, either during the pre-release phase (before the checklist drops) and even after that, as some players aren’t highly touted but make it big. So, buy and break, or buy and hold…the good news is that the buy-in isn’t high, but the payback is a mixed bag based on the rookies and whatever hits you happen to pull.
