The 2024-25 Topps NHL Sticker Collection consists of 800 stickers. A pack has five stickers, so you need at least 160 packs to get 800 stickers. Of course, you are going to get doubles. That’s the nature of the beast.
Since packs cost $1 at retail, I decided to instead buy full boxes, which consist of 50 packs and cost around $35 to $40 if you buy them online.
This year, I decided to buy five boxes of Topps NHL Stickers because the set is so massive – and because you get two Blue Parallel stickers, serial numbered out of 100, per box. Yesterday, I posted the results of my first box break. Let’s see what’s inside my second box.
What I Got in My 2nd Box
My box contained a total of 250 stickers. Like my first box, there were no quality control issues. No stickers were missing or damaged.
198 Regular Stickers
Each pack of stickers has four regular (paper, non-foil) stickers, unless the pack has a parallel; then it only has three regular stickers. Out of the 198 regular stickers I got in my first box, none were doubles of each other. So far, so good.
50 Foil (Insert) Stickers
Every pack has one foil sticker. Yesterday, my first box had two doubles. This time, all 50 stickers were unique.
2 Blue Parallel Stickers
My box also had two Blue Foil Parallel stickers that were serial-numbered out of 100: Filip Forsberg (2024 NHL All-Star) and Tyler Myers. The Myers All-Star card borrows the design from the 1974-75 Topps Hockey card set, which we talked about at length in Episode #211 of the Puck Junk Podcast.
Breakdowns by 100s
Here is a look at how many stickers I got in each grouping of 100.
Stickers 1-100
31 regular stickers
6 foil stickers
= 37 stickers / 14.8% of the box
Stickers 101-200
27 regular stickers
4 foil stickers
= 31 stickers / 12.4% of the box
Stickers 201-300
24 regular stickers
5 foil stickers
= 29 stickers / 11.6% of the box
Stickers 301-400
22 regular stickers
6 foil stickers
= 28 stickers / 11.2% of the box
Stickers 401-500
27 regular stickers
7 foil stickers
= 34 stickers / 13.6% of the box
Stickers 501-600
18 regular stickers
11 foil stickers
= 29 stickers / 11.6% of the box
Stickers 601-700
25 regular stickers
7 foil stickers
= 32 stickers / 12.8% of the box
Stickers 701-800
24 regular stickers
4 foil stickers
= 28 stickers / 11.2% of the box
Again, I got a pretty even distribution of stickers within each grouping of 100. I did get slightly more stickers 1-100 (37 total stickers, or 14.8% of the box) than the other groupings of 100.
Progress on My Set
This box was great! Not only were there zero doubles inside my second box of Topps Stickers, but none of these stickers were the same as the stickers from my first box – meaning that I needed all 198 regular and 50 foil stickers that I pulled. That brings my set build up to 396 regular stickers and 98 foil stickers. I now have 494 total stickers towards the 800-sticker set – just about 62% of a complete set. I know that eventually I am going to get a slew of doubles, but right now, I’m just going to enjoy the success of my first two boxes.
My second box of 2024-25 Topps NHL Stickers also gets a five-puck rating because the collation was flawless and there were no quality control issues – and because after two boxes, I only have two doubles.
Look for my third box break of 2024-25 Topps NHL Stickers tomorrow.
