You could own the rarest relic card known to exist just in time for Christmas. 2021 Topps Holiday baseball boxes have inserts the suit straight from Santa Claus! Check out the cards that will bring a smile to kids and kids at heart like you and I.
Game-used materials or relics cards have been highly-sought after collectables going back to the original 1997 Upper Deck Game Jersey cards up to the more modern products like 2021 National Treasures where you can pull Babe Ruth relics. Topps has something pretty special for you and I this Christmas in their 2021 Holiday boxes that are exclusive to Wal-Mart, though. Perhaps the rarest and coolest relic card ever? You can pull a relic from the suit of SANTA CLAUS!
The boxes are only $21.98 retail and come with 10 packs. Each pack has 10 cards along with 1 ornament card. The box should also contain one hit be it a relic or auto, and five metallic inserts. Topps continues the Short Print or Super Short Print inserts but instead of image variations, Topps adds holiday flare by adding Santa hats on players, Candy Canes for bats, or Snow on the ground, etc. What's cooler than Ronald Acuna, Jr. with a snowman behind him?
The variations are easy to spot but you can always check the codes (the number on the bottom right on the back of your card - the last three numbers) for:
Beckett has a nice page with a picture of all of the Holiday variations here.
The Holiday Relics is where all the magic happens, though. RARE inserts - 1:16,205 packs! Some how, some way Topps was able to obtain one of Santa's suits and placed the swatch right on their cards. Each card is serial numbered. Let's be honest here - how many Santa suits could there be? We're lucky Topps could get their hands on one. We're assuming someone at Topps was lucky enough to be invited to the North Pole to make the exchange. We're also betting that Santa was paid in milk and cookies.
Thank you to Dylan Penge, a card collector himself, for allowing us to use the photo he posted of a Santa Suit relic he pulled!
That bad boy has to go straight into a one-touch and maybe off to PSA for grading.
We were not lucky enough to pull a Santa relic ourselves but want to show you some of the other fun cards in 2021 Topps Holiday:
Sixto Sanchez in a Santa Hat, a newly-married man in Aaron Judge (congrats on your wedding, Aaron), and a Casey Mize Snowman jersey relic.
These cards are sure to bring a smile to the little ones in your life or you if you're a big kid at heart like we are. We'd love to stay up late on Christmas Eve to try and ask Santa how Topps got his suit, BUT we know the rules: Santa won't come if you're not in bed early on Christmas Eve. Good luck to you in opening these Holiday cards; we hope you get a Santa relic!
