2020 Topps Transcendent Hall of Fame Edition Checklist and 1/1 Pull Tracker

Topps Transcendent Collection Baseball Cards returns with an all Hall of Fame Edition. THE premiere, most high end case of Baseball cards available. If purchasing a case is not within your reach, you can still own some of these amazing cards through group breaks that could net you an individual item far exceeding your spot price or purchasing them on the secondary market.

There are only 50 cases in the HOF Editon and they are getting opened fast. As usual we will provide the most comprehensive listing of what has been pulled out of these cases you will find ANYWHERE.

Micro Collecting Sports Cards

When I was younger my collecting habits could easily have been categorized as “hoarding.” I opened anything and everything. I also held onto it all. 

Until recently, the daily attempt at being an adult has made my time limited. While I will still try to open at least one box of almost everything, my “collect and hold” habits have become more like my approach to trail mix, pick out the stuff I like, give the rest to some else. 

In these unique times, while we are sheltered in place, time is not an issue, but resources are limited. I’ve been doing more of what I call Micro Collecting.

First Error Card In 2020 Topps Heritage Baseball Gets Pulled and It's Juan Soto

If you are a regular visitor to our site you know the only thing we LOVE more than each year's new release of Topps Heritage Baseball is the new batch of error cards to be found within the set. We have been covering Heritage Error Cards since 2011 when we were the first to spot an ARod image flip error on eBay before any even knew it was an error card. 

We are just as excited for this year. As quick as you can say "Boots Day" the first error card for 2020 Topps Heritage Baseball has been pulled, and here it is.

2020 Topps Million Card Rip Party Details and Complete List of Breakers and Breaks



Imagine taking delivery on 363 cases of 2020 Topps Baseball Series 1 Jumbos and ripping them all open in one day. 

Well, you don’t have to imagine what that would be like because that will be happening on February 4th in Arlington, Texas at AT&T Stadium as Topps hosts their Million Card Rip Party. Not only will you be able to watch the party, you can participate by purchasing personal boxes, cases and joining group breaks being conducted by the list of group breakers you’ll find later in this article.

In addition to watching all of those cards being ripped, there will be athletes in attendance, and Topps swag that will be given away with the breaks.

We’ve also included the types of ways you can purchase cards from the breakers. Some have already sold all their cards, some still have cards for sale, and some will be announcing ways to purchase their cards as the event gets closer. We will try to update this list as things change.

If you are new to group breaking here is an explanation of the terms used for the ways you can purchase cards. for veterans of group breaking, you can just skip to the list of breakers below.

2019 Topps Transcendent Collection Baseball Cards Checklist and Card Tracker

Once again Topps Transcendent Collection Baseball Cards returns and remains THE premiere, most high end case of Baseball cards available. If purchasing a case is not within your reach, you can still own some of these amazing cards through group breaks that could net you an individual item far exceeding your spot price or purchasing them on the secondary market.

With the increase to 100 cases, the original plan was to skip the tracker for this year. Thanks to a good number of collectors that contacted me with kind words, letting me know how useful they have found having these pulls tracked, I decided to do the deep dive again to provide the most comprehensive listing of what has been pulled out of these cases you will find ANYWHERE. 

Please keep in mind this is not a small project. It takes plenty of research, tracking group breaks & individual social media postings plus contacting private collectors, some of whom are not even on social media, to find out what they have pulled from their private cases. I do this because I enjoy Transcendent as a release and because it is in line with why I started this site, to offer information that is not out there and present it in a way that can be quickly accessed.

I’ve embedded the tracker with links to eBay incase you want to try to buy individual Transcendent cards on the secondary market. If you know you will be bidding to win one of these cards on eBay, it would help me if you click through one of the links to get there.

Cards that have been pulled that are 1/1s will be noted as pulled and listed in bold and italic fonts. I will keep updating when a 1/1 items gets pulled. If you know of any additional items that are not listed as pulled, please contact me with as much information as you have, including the source of your information, so I can confirm it and add it to the list.

Side note -  Transcendent Collection autograph cards for Francisco Lindor were on the checklist that was issued by Topps, but not in cases. They were handed out during the VIP Party, along with autographs for Alex Rodriguez, and Clayton Kershaw.





What was not on the checklist but has been pulled are an Andre Dawson 1953 Topps Superfractor and a Derek Jeter TTYs 1/1 auto in 1971 Topps Hockey styling. It is possible that the Jeter is 72TH on the checklist, but for now I will leave it as is according to the checklist Topps released.
