2013 Topps Team Set Preliminary Checklists

Because I missed out on showing sell sheets for the Topps Minis (that latest collectible craze that Topps is finally getting themselves into akin to Lego, Playmobil, and Angry Birdz minigifugres), I thought I'd go ahead and release to the masses (or for that matter, those who read this humble, little blog), preliminary checklists of a product that I do care about and can't wait to get my hands on once it shows up en masse.

Of course, I'm talking about...

2013 Topps Retail Team Sets!!!

No, there are no images of these (that I have seen yet), but checklists (subject to change...always) have appeared on one of my favorite sell sheet websites.

Things to note on these preliminary checklists:

• The Phillies and Cardinals sets are the only ones that do not have a stadium card (Citizens Bank Park and Busch Stadium respectively). Remember, the 2012 sets had stadium cards for all 30 teams, and in 2011, all but the Indians had a stadium card.
• As of this printing, nine players are tentatively scheduled to be put into the sets (Corbin & Gregorious of the Diamondbacks, Castillo of the Cubs, Blevins, Donaldson, & Moss of the Athletics, and Presley, Mercer, & Karstens of the Pirates).
• Ryu Hyun-Jin (Dodgers) and Zack Wheeler (Mets) are the only players not to make his major league debut to have a card in the retail set.
• There are no catchers on the AL All-Star Team set, no second basemen on the NL All-Star Team set, and no relievers on either side. This is a travesty to call either set a "Team Set." Maybe it's just me. 

I can't stress enough that these checklists are subject to change.  The rosters are updated as of the beginning of the year (or as of the signing of Lance Berkman with the Rangers...at least that's the latest transaction I can figure).  As more information becomes available, rest assured that this blog will be all over it.

Unless you want me to start covering the Topps Minis and Topps Chipz (another product that I missed providing sell sheets for...or cared to).

Sincerely,

JayBee Anama
