Checklist


2019 Topps Gallery Baseball brings the sport’s artistic side back to Walmart. It’s not so much Mike Trout scaling walls or Yasiel Puig tossing bats. Rather, it’s artists giving their interpretations to the game’s rookies, stars and legends.  


2019 Topps Gallery Baseball Base Set Basics


The base set is has a total of 200 cards. Vets and rookies combine for the first 150 cards. The final 50 are short prints, several of which are retired stars.


Rather than photos found in most sets, 2019 Topps Gallery Baseball is all paintings, drawings and artistic renderings.


Parallels aren’t known yet. However, since Topps brought Gallery back in 2017, there have been several including some that are exclusive to certain pack and box types.



Autographs and Inserts


Insert themes are largely carryovers from 2018. These include Hall of Fame Gallery, which has 20 cards. And, as you might guess by the name, all are Cooperstown inductees.


Heritage has a large 40-card checklist. In past years these used classic designs from the Topps portfolio.


Other inserts in 2019 Topps Gallery Baseball include Masterpiece and Impressionists, both of which have 30 cards. Oversized Base Card Box Toppers also return with 50 cards.


New this year is Master and Apprentice, which has ten pairings of players from different generations. All of these come from the same team except for the father-son combo of Vladimir Guerrero and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.


Most of the product’s signatures come in the form of Base Autographs. More than 100 cards from the main set have upgraded versions.


Select Hall of Fame Gallery, Masterpiece and Impressionists cards also have autographs.


The first glimpse at 2019 Topps Gallery Baseball came in specially marked National Baseball Card Daypacks of 2019 Bowman Platinum Baseball. These had specially stamped preview cards.
