“ When I think baseball...First thought is always snow, of course. ” -ShoTime
“ Another parallel set? I hadn't even seen this set yet. The same exact thing as their other 20 parallels just with snowflakes in the corner. ” -davidhandberry
“ The concept of a holiday set is pretty neat and--if done well--could easily become a nice tradition for a lot of collectors. However, the execution leaves way too much to be desired. Just add this to the ever-growing list of Topps sets that leach off the flagship design: Chrome, Opening Day, Mini, Holiday. ” -mkaz80
“ Whoever at Topps said, "Yeah, let's put snowflakes on baseball cards!" should be fired. ” -vrooomed
“ OK I like Topps flagship sets usually. Some more than others. The last 3 or 4 years I have grown tired of the similar look they have. I DO NOT Like these gimmick parallels. And the "Holiday" snowflake variant is just that a stupid Gimmick. The problem with these gimmick parallel things is just enough people like the gimmicks that they keep doing them. That combined with the completest collectors who have to have the entire "master" set keeps this sort of thing going on. ” -captkirk42
“ Not a big fan of snowflakes on baseball cards. ” -Doe MG
“ Let me phrase this succinctly......no. ” -NJDevils
“ Even with the snowstorm coming in, Glasnow is still in short-sleeves. What a gamer. ” -royals
“ It wasn't until Tyler started to see the falling snowflakes that he understood the warning sign over the plate of brownies. ” -YoRicha
“ Nice touch with the snowflakes on the front. Really like these. ” -KMack
“ DON'T get me started on baseball in the snow. It's ridiculous what MLB puts fans through every year. And with the WS getting closer and closer to November, the Fall Classic is probably going to end up snowcovered sometime, too. And then there was a Spring Break game down in Orlando back in college...that was a fluke, I know. But still... ” -kents_stuff

“ Why is this needed? 2017 Topps is cool. ” -muskie027
“ This is a set that does not need to exist. It is just a money grab, plain and simple. ” -ketchupman36
