The Evolution set is a card featuring one image on each side, the front sharing a photo of the past, the back a photo of how it has evolved today. The first 10 cards showcase uniforms, the next 10 ballparks and the final 5 equipment. The front photos are sepia toned while the backs are in full color.
I decided to share both sides of these cards since you need to see the backs to understand what evolution took place:
The Revolution of the Game set showcases 10 different people that influenced changes in the game. Topps jacked up the numbering so there is no number 1 or 4, two number 7s and it goes to 11. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how this happens but it pretty much an annual occurrence.
I am sharing all the fronts and the back of card #2 (the first in the set):
Pretty solid sets in my opinion. I am glad the Evolution set continued in Series 2 as there are some key teams and ballparks missing here. I like the variety of the people featured in the Revolution set, particularly the inclusion of Bill James.
If you are interested in a look back at other sets I have shared from 2019 Topps Series 1 you can link here:
150 Years of Professional Baseball
1984 Topps
Cactus League Legends and Grapefruit League Greats
Wow, that numbering is crazy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing the backs of the Evolution set. I was a little confused, but the pictures cleared it up.
I didn't open up much Topps flagship stuff this year, so I'm not familiar with these sets. I might need to track down the card featuring Candlestick though.
