2017 Topps Fire Baseball Checklist

2017 Topps Fire: a 200-card base set, 5 inserts, 3 autograph sets, relics and autographed patches

2017 Topps Fire was the first full stand-alone Fire set, a Target-exclusive baseball release with a bold, colorful design. It came out the week of September 27, 2017, in Collector Boxes (two hits, one an autograph), Value Boxes and Fat Packs, each with its own exclusive parallels.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 200 cards mixing current stars, rookies and Hall of Famers, with Red Flame, Gold Minted (Value Box only), Blue Chip (Fat Pack only), Orange /299, Green /199, Purple /99, Magenta /25, Onyx (1 per Collector Box case) and Inferno 1/1 parallels
• Inserts: Fired Up (10), Flame Throwers (15), Golden Grabs (20), Monikers (40) and Walk It Off (15), most with Gold Minted and Blue Chip parallels
• Autographs: 52 Fire Autographs with Green /75, Purple /50, Magenta /25 and Inferno 1/1 (Collector Box only), plus 8 Dual Autographs numbered /20 and 4 Triple Autographs numbered /5
• Relics: 35 Fire Relics with Green /75 to Inferno 1/1, and 33 Fire Autograph Patches

Key subjects

The base set has 40 Rookie Cards, led by Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Alex Bregman, Andrew Benintendi, Yoan Moncada and Dansby Swanson. Autograph signers include Mike Trout, Ken Griffey Jr., Kris Bryant, Bryce Harper and Aaron Judge.

Grading considerations

The Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger Rookie Cards, the Onyx and Inferno parallels, and the Trout, Griffey and Judge autographs are the cards most worth grading. The busy foil design shows surface scratches easily, so check the surface along with corners, edges and centering.
