2021 Topps Platinum Anniversary Celebration Through the Years
Description
2021 Topps Platinum Anniversary Celebration Through the Years is a 70-card set distributed exclusively to attendees of a special event which took place in New York City February 5th, 2022. Fifty invitations were randomly inserted into packs of 2021 Topps Series One and Series Two. Those who pulled an invitation were given two tickets (one for themselves and one for a guest) to attend a "Topps 70th Anniversary Celebration." Unlike other gifts that were distributed to attendees (e.g. the 2021 Topps Platinum Anniversary Celebration boxes, and a 2021 Topps 70th Anniversary Factory Set), only the winner, and not his/her guest, received this set. A total of 50 sets were produced, and was packaged similarly to the Transcendent sets of recent years. Each set also contained one of five autographs, each serial-numbered to ten.
Not much is currently known about this product as a checklist was never publicly released. It appears that this set is a reprint of the "70 Years of Topps Baseball" insert in Topps Flagship. The only difference is, on the front, the world "CELEBRATION" is stamped below the 70th Anniversary logo, and on the back, each card is sequentially-numbered with a "70VIP-" prefix.
