2022 Topps NPB Baseball Checklist

216 listed base cards, three insert families and a numbering caveat

2022 Topps NPB Baseball covers all twelve Nippon Professional Baseball clubs, filed in Topps's checklist archive as 2022 NPB Baseball. The official checklist names players in Japanese and groups the Base cards by team, with each club's manager and its rookies included in the 216-card Base list.

Numbering caveat: the 216 listed Base cards are numbered from 1 to 217, and no card #117 appears in the official checklist. This page does not add a #117 and does not treat the set as numbered 1 to 216 consecutively; whether a #117 exists is unresolved by this source.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 216 cards numbered 1 to 217 without #117, including twelve manager cards. Cards the checklist flags as ROOKIES are marked RC
• Parallels: none are specified in the checklist
• Inserts: Topps 1958 (58-1 to 58-24), Illustration Cards, イラストカード (A-1 to A-12), and Kings of the Craft (KC-1 to KC-24)
• Autographs: no autograph or relic roster is listed. That doesn't show that none exist

Key subjects

佐々木 朗希 (Roki Sasaki, #80), 山本 由伸 (Yoshinobu Yamamoto, #27), 村上 宗隆 (Munetaka Murakami, #185) and 松川 虎生 (Kou Matsukawa, #102, flagged ROOKIES).

Grading considerations

Check centering, corners and edges, and look over the surface for print lines, dents and scratches, using angled light on any foil or reflective areas. Because the checklist is in Japanese, match the card number and the Japanese name on the card to the checklist. A checklist establishes identity, not condition. See our grading scale.

Scope: this page is a snapshot of the official roster as read on 9 October 2026, showing the 276 cards it lists. It does not claim complete coverage of every card, parallel or version produced. Base #117 does not appear in the source and whether it exists is unresolved; no #117 is added. No autograph or relic roster is listed, which does not show that none exist, and no parallels are specified.
