Tomorrow’s the day that 2017 Topps Opening Day officially arrives — depending on your weather, of course — but the meteorological news is far from the big buzz of today.
The game-changer in this one? A set of mascot-worn Relic cards.
Yep, those fuzzballs of the diamond can be found in some new ways and beside the cards of the hot dogs at the concessions stand when you tear into packs of this low-end brand.
A number of ballpark foods will get their own Rookie Cards in an upcoming Topps baseball card set.
Among them? The Pittsburgh Pirates‘ Cracker Jack & Mac Dog, above, which will be found in packs of 2017 Topps Opening Day alongside other staples when it arrives next week.
One that shockingly didn’t make the cut, though? The Dodger Dog. (No, seriously!) Keep reading to see what creations made the 18-card Incredible Eats insert set in the product.
What: 2017 Topps Opening Day baseball cards
Arrives: March 15
Box basics: No hits guaranteed per 36-pack box (20 boxes per case)

What’s buzz-worthy: Opening Day returns for another season with an insert card in every pack, all the things collectors have come to expect and a few new surprises — among them will be cards for notable bobblehead giveaways and Incredible Eats at the ballpark.
(So, in other words, the Dodger Dog should get a Rookie Card.)
