2019 Topps x Lindor Baseball Features Collaboration with Cleveland All-Star
2019 Topps x Lindor Baseball is a collaborative effort between Francisco Lindor and the card maker. That means the Cleveland All-Star’s thumbprint runs throughout the product including the designs, player selection and themes.
Each box set, which is largely an online exclusive through the Topps website, comes with 51 cards. This includes a base set, a couple of full insert sets and one autograph or memorabilia card.
The base set takes the theme of Generational Icons. Despite having just 25 cards, it squeezes in current stars, young players with big potential and some retired legends.
In addition to these are a pair of insert sets that dig into Lindor’s past. Puerto Rican Heritage features 15 players from where the second baseman comes from. Like the main set, there’s a mix of past and present. 2011 MLB Draft Class highlights ten players taken the same year Lindor was. Box sets have all 25 inserts from these sets.
Autographs combine to land 1:2.3 box sets. These take from select cards from other parts of the checklist.
Those sets that don’t have an autograph have either a Lindor bat relic or cleat relic.
While the set is available to the general public through the company’s site, Topps also had them on hand at the Play Ball Park event held in conjunction with the 2019 All-Star Game in Cleveland. Some of those sets quickly made their way to eBay.
2019 Topps x Lindor is the company’s second collaborative set. A similar release was done with Bryce Harper in 2018.
