2010 Topps Series 2 Sell Sheets are Live!!!

It has only been a couple of week since 2010 Topps Baseball Series 1 went live, and now the sell sheets for the 2010 Topps Series 2 product are now live!!!












They are really selling the point of being MLB's exclusive baseball card manufacturer. And though the images were already shown last week, it's nice to see how it all fits on the sell sheets.

Product information can be found here.

The initial checklist (subject to change...) can be found here.

Things I like:

And this time, they're letting us know which legends are going to be included as shortprints in series 2. Although this kills the fun we all had searching for series 1 SP's, here is the list (subject to change...you know it has to):

340Cal Ripken, Jr.
350Pee Wee Reese
360Richie Ashburn
370Thurman Munson
380Mel Ott
390Johnny Mize
400Honus Wagner
410Frank Robinson
420Dale Murphy
430Dizzy Dean
440Nolan Ryan
450Eddie Mathews
460Jimmie Foxx
470Mickey Mantle
480Tom Seaver
490Roy Campanella
500Tris Speaker
510Eddie Murray
520Ozzie Smith
530Ty Cobb
540Ernie Banks

Notice how each card is 10 numbers apart? I somehow doubt that's going to be the card number for each player when the product comes out. And if you didn't click on the product information sheet, it says that each of the 20 cards have a print run of 3,000 each!!!

Product goes live the week of May 24th, 2010, until otherwise noted. Stay tuned for more developments as they happen.

Sincerely,

JayBee Anama

Good stuff as always. I'm happy to see Banks as one of the SP's, that'll be a must have for me. Also, Ripken Jr., Cobb, Ryan, Frank Robinson and hey they actually are doing a Mantle SP! So, those eBay auctions with Mantle SP will FINALLY be correct!

Probably won't get the whole set of Card Your Mother Threw Out, but will probably pickup a few of the singles.

Man I wish Topps would reprint the 1967 Brooks Robinson card. That's a tuff card to find anywhere cheap and I would love that 1967 card in my collection.

Also why so many McCovey cards? Where's the 1975 Carlton Fisk card??

Some 2sd tier HOF'ers like a 1974 Goose Gossage would be a cool card.

Old Topps cards are more than just the superstars but the average stars that had decent careers and popular with fans. Where's Don Drysdale??

Just opened a pack of series 1 and found #490 Eddie Murray 1981 reprint. Strange because 490 is way out of the series 1 number range - but a nice surprise.
