The 2023 Topps Baseball card season is here, and collectors are eagerly awaiting their chance to rip open packs and boxes in search of their favorite players. One of the most popular and exciting ways to collect the latest Topps release is with a jumbo box. Topps jumbo boxes offer collectors a massive haul of cards at once for an affordable price per card compared to buying packs individually. Let’s take a deeper look at what collectors can expect from the 2023 Topps Baseball Cards Jumbo Box.
The jumbo box has long been a staple of the Topps Baseball card lineup, giving collectors a fun and exciting way to add big chunks of the base set and inserts to their collections all at once. For the 2023 season, Topps is continuing this tradition by offering a jumbo box filled with 30 packs (60 total cards per pack) for a total of 1,800 baseball cards inside each box. At today’s average pack price of around $1 per card, that’s over $1,800 worth of cards for the price of the jumbo box.
While the exact price of the 2023 Topps jumbo boxes hasn’t been announced yet, collectors can expect to pay around $150-200 based on previous year pricing. This works out to just $0.08-$0.11 per card, a massive savings versus buying packs individually. The jumbo box is clearly the most cost effective way to collect a large portion of the base set all at once. It also provides the thrill of ripping through dozens of packs in one sitting versus spacing it out over many retail purchases.
In terms of the actual cards collectors can expect to find inside their 2023 Topps jumbo boxes, here’s a breakdown:
Base Cards: The bulk of each jumbo box will be made up of the base card set, which for 2023 features over 700 players. Expect to pull hundreds of these standard player cards showing each player in uniform. Numbered parallels are also possible.
Rookies: Buried amongst the base cards will be the highly coveted rookie class of 2023. Top prospects like Druw Jones, Termarr Johnson and Jackson Holliday could all be pulled in jumbo boxes fresh off their MLB debut seasons.
Inserts: In addition to the base cards, jumbo boxes are loaded with special insert sets like Topps Now Moments, Gallery of Stars, Topps Origins and more. Popular retired legends and milestone moments are featured across these inserts.
Autographs and Memorabilia: While rare, it’s possible to pull autograph or memorabilia cards in jumbo boxes. Past releases have offered 1 hit or relic per 4-6 jumbo boxes on average. Stars and rookies are most common.
Parallels: Topps is known for their extensive parallel sets showcasing different color variations, refractors, and numbering. Jumbo boxes are a great way to randomly collect across these parallel categories.
As for the actual contents of the packs inside each 2023 Topps jumbo box, collectors can expect the following:
30 Factory Sealed Packs: Topps carefully packages and seals each pack to preserve the fresh pack rip experience.
60 Total Cards Per Pack: The standard Topps baseball pack contains 11 cards for a total of 660 cards across all 30 packs.
Assorted Inserts: While the majority will be base cards, most packs also contain at least one insert or parallel mixed in.
Varied Serial Numbers: Topps does a great job of randomizing serial numbers so no two jumbo boxes are exactly the same.
Potential Hits: As mentioned above, it’s possible to pull autographs or memorabilia cards within the packs themselves too.
