2022 Topps Baseball Goes to Town with Surprise Home Field Advantage Inserts
It looks like Topps is branching out into more case-hit style inserts. Home Field Advantage is a surprise inclusion in 2022 Topps Series 1 Baseball.
The cards weren’t included on the card maker’s checklist. That said, it appears that it’s a 10-card set.
As far as design goes, they play off of the city where the featured star plays. It’s a collage of landmarks and local symbols.
2022 Topps Home Field Advantage is very similar to Panini’s Downtown inserts that also use famous places that give cities flavor.
Besides the regular Topps inserts, there are also Legendary Home Field Advantage cards. These scarce cards use stars from the past.
So how tough are Home Field Advantage cards to pull? They’re definitely not easy, landing 1:228 hobby packs, or just slightly easier than 1:10 boxes. Odds are the same for retail and blaster packs.
Legendary Home Field Advantage are 1:50,678 hobby, 1:44,104 retail and 1:50,408 blaster packs.

Pulled a Legendary Home Field Advantage Cal Ripken Jr. out of Walmart blaster in rural Arkansas 2 nights ago.
Scored a Aaron Judge out of Target Mega.
I scored an Acuna from a Walgreens fat pack today and my friend scored the same card today from a Walmart hanger box!! What a trip!!
I pulled 2 buster posey HFA’S in 2 days, 1 out of hanger box and the other out of fat pack, 2 different stores tho.i felt very lucky to pull the 1st one and about passed out when i pulled 2nd one the next day,by the looks of the odds its hard enough to pull one but to pull 2 of the same in 2 days, i think this area is dryed up of the BP HFA card?
Pulled a Devers for Boston out of a walmart blaster.
Are these also available in the Hobby Jumbo or just the regular Hobby? If so, what would the jumbo odds be?
