Parallels have long been the lifeblood of modern collecting, and Topps has consistently found ways to keep the chase fresh and exciting. The “Wood” parallel, designed with a striking woodgrain finish, that blends vintage aesthetics with modern scarcity, makes each card an instant classic for hobbyists everywhere.
With only 25 copies (or fewer) per player, these cards will be incredibly tough to pull, creating a frenzy for collectors all throughout the hobby. Whether you’re a set builder, an investor, or a die-hard player collector, the "Wood" parallel is sure to be one of the most sought-after cards of the year.
Short prints (SPs) and super short prints (SSPs) have always added a layer of excitement to flagship Topps releases. These cards elevate collecting from simply opening packs to embarking on a true treasure hunt. Not only do SPs create rarity-driven demand, but they also add long-term value to the product. The “Wood” parallel is one of the latest evolutions in the hobby and offers a fresh twist that collectors will be clamoring to add to their collections.
