The design for Topps' 75th anniversary base set has finally been released! Though the set won't be available in stores for almost a month, let's take a quick peek at it and see how they've done on their design in this milestone year.
It's an interesting design for sure. A few things strike me at first; the color scheme is pretty nice. The Red Sox colors are integrated into the card well. I like the font for Anthony's name as well. It's different than every other design, and I think it looks pretty cool. There is also a 75th Anniversary badge thing on the card, this one being in the upper right corner though I have seen other cards with the badge in a different spot.
For example, the badge here is on the upper left-hand side. There is what looks to be lacing surrounding the left side of the card bordering the picture, and some other pattern on the card bordering that. I like what they did with the team logo on the bottom left as well. I feel that my wording doesn't make a ton of sense here, but it's what's my brain is thinking when I look at this 🤣
There is certainly a lot going into every aspect of the card, and the more I look at it, the better a design I think it is. I think they did a good job this year.
What do y'all think about this year's design? How did the folks over at Topps do compared with last year?
That does it for my brief review today. Have a great rest of the week, and happy collecting!
I'm not sure what I think. Maybe 50/50.
