Updated:

2017 Topps Throwback Thursday cards were another popular addition to the growing on-demand trading card marketplace and with a rookie class in high demand it is no surprise that these cards sold very well. Available for one week between Thursdays and featuring designs from all around the Topps library, these limited release cards saw significant growth over the 2016 edition in terms of print runs as well as final checklist size.

We have compiled a selection of stats of interest to collectors broken down by teams and players. In the interest of clarity, stats are limited to the top five or bottom five unless otherwise specified. Cards that contain two or more players are counted for each individual player’s stats but only once in overall print runs causing total percentages to skew slightly as two teams or two players can appear on one card. If you have any questions or would like stats added to these, please leave a comment at the bottom of this article.
