FIRST LOOK: 2018 TOPPS MUSEUM COLLECTION BASEBALL
2018 Topps Museum Collection Baseball continues with the line’s focus on high-end elegance. Now a veteran brand in the company’s portfolio, hobby boxes continue to come packaged with four single pack mini boxes. In each mini box is an autograph or memorabilia card of some kind.
Hits are divided up into four different categories with one of each landing in every master box. That works out to an autographed relic, on card autograph, premium relic and a quad relic.
2018 TOPPS MUSEUM COLLECTION BASEBALL AUTOGRAPHS
Archival Autographs are where the majority of the on-card signatures come from. The large checklist covers multiple generations past and present. All come numbered including three levels of parallels: Copper (/50 or less), Gold (/25 or less) and Emerald (1/1).
A couple of particularly high-end signed inserts are back for another year. Premium Print Autographs (/25) show contrast with a black and white photo and gold ink signature. Museum Framed Autographs, one of the brand’s hallmarks, is a case hit once more. Silver Frame versions have 15 copies each. Tougher parallels come in Gold Frame (/10), Black Frame (/5) and Wood Frame (1/1).
Museum Framed Autograph Patch Cards put a new spin on the concept. All done as one-of-ones, they add a large piece of a game-worn patch. This is the first time these types of cards have been a part of Museum Collection.

Junk Wax Era 1988 Score
The rise in the popularity of baseball cards that would lead up to the Junk Wax Era began as early as the late 1970s, and the introduction of two new manufacturers helped spur further growth in the early 1980s. But the interest in baseball cards would reach a fever pitch by 1988, which would mark the first year since 1981 that a new manufacturer would enter the fold.
