2017 Topps Opening Day Baseball Forum

I just noticed that the parallel cards in my collection that I have that were under "Opening Day Edition" have been changed to "Rainbow Foil Blue".  I am just curious as to why this change was made.  The sell sheet calls these parallels "Opening Day Edition" and if I remember correctly, the packaging did too.  Should this have been changed?

Sheesh the 1,000s of parallels are confusing enough and then someone has to change a dang name? OK so these cards are the blue foil parallel to the regular "base" Opening Day cards. Isn't calling a parallel set to the "base" Opening Day set "Opening Day Edition" a bit redundant? Maybe they were inserted in flagship set packs?

It is redundant, but what Topps did was stamp the date of Opening Day for that particular team. So they took the base card, made it blue, put a fancy design behind it and stamped a date on it.

Beckett calls it Blue Foil, Cardboard Connection has it as Rainbow Blue Foil, BaseballCardPedia as Opening Day Edition and a sell sheet has it as "Opening Day Edition". Seeing that Topps published the sell sheet and as Sahall mentioned...

They put a note saying it is also referred to as "Opening Day Edition". Me thinkith that it should be swapped. Set called opening Day Edition and a note put in saying that others refer to it as Blue Foil or Rainbow Blue Foil

According to the Change Log, the set was created with the name "Foil". There's nothing in the log showing a change to "Opening Day Edition" or "Rainbow Blue Foil".  Which usually means changes by Admin.

The Release Note states: "Also referred to as "Opening Day Edition".

Yeah, I was trying to figure it out in the change log as well.  I know for certain it used to be "Opening Day Edition".  But if Admin is the one who changed it to "Rainbow Foil Blue", then who am I to argue?
