2016 Topps High Tek Baseball Cards Feature Patterns and Variations Galore



2016 Topps High Tek Baseball brings back the wild acetate look and long list of variations the brand has used since it was resurrected a couple of years ago. Autographs also return at a rate of one per single-pack box.


Base Set




All cards in 2016 Topps High Tek Baseball are printed on acetate with foil backgrounds. This includes base cards.

Each players comes with multiple pattern variations. If the previous two years are any indication, these tiers will also come in varying quantities with Pattern 1 being the most common. The target here is largely player and team collectors.

Parallels for the main base version include Tidal Diffractor, Green Rainbow, Orange Magma (/25), Black Rainbow (1/1), Black Galactic Diffractor (1/1) and Printing Proofs (1/1).

Select players also have short print Home Uniform Variations. This year, they’re serial numbered. This will not only offer up exact quantities but make them a little easier to spot.



Autographs




All autographs in 2016 Topps High Tek Baseball are signed on-card and feature veterans, rookies and retired stars. Base autographs have the same general design as base cards and have the following parallels: Gold Rainbow, Orange Magma Diffractor (/25), Red Orbit Diffractor (/5), Black Galactic Diffractor (1/1) and Printing Proofs (1/1).

Tek Buybacks are signed cards from the product’s original run from 1998 to 2000. Both base cards and Diffractor parallels are included. All have been serial numbered.



Inserts




Inserts were tough in High Tek in 2014 and 2015. Bright Horizons carries on with more rookies and young players cast against a city skyline. Highlights notes specific achievements. Both of these are serial numbered and have autographed versions as well.

2016 Topps High Tek Baseball Asia Includes a Couple of Exclusives



As with the past couple of years, 2016 Topps High Tek Baseball is getting an edition exclusive to Japan and the rest of the Asian market. And that means a couple of exclusives not available in regular boxes and cases.


It’s not a massive list of exclusives and they probably won’t be as significant in the grand scheme of things as some of the prospects and autographs found in past Bowman sets targeting the east. But they are there. Each 2016 Topps High Tek Asia Baseball Asia box comes with one Gold Rainbow parallel. These are only available these special boxes. They are serial-numbered and look as though they cover the base pattern only.

The other Asia-only cards are Sky Blue parallels found in the main autograph lineup. These are numbered to 20 copies each.
