The theme of 2000 Topps was Mark McGwire and Hank Aaron.  Mark McGwire had just hit his 500th home run in 1999, and was coming off of an all-time high 70-homer season in 1998 and a 65-homer season in 1999.  Of course, the assumption was that Hank Aaron’s 755 career home runs record was in jeopardy because of Mark McGwire…

The box top has pictures of “Record-Holding Sluggers Mark McGwire and Hank Aaron”.  The box advertises “Randomly Inserted: Hank Aaron & Mark McGwire Reprints”.

National League All-Topps Team cards were featured in series 1 packs, while American League All-Topps Team cards were featured in series 2 packs.
