So if Kosuke Fukudome Will Be Included as a Bonus Rookie...

who is he replacing in the set that was to include?:

• Jayson Nix
• Brian Barton
• Callix Crabbe
• Nick Blackburn
• Jeff Niemann
• Gregor Blanco
• Matt Tolbert
• Randor Bierd
• John Bowker
• Evan Longoria

The above ten names were listed in the sales flyer as the ten rookie exclusives variation cards only to be found in hobby factory sets of 2008 Topps. But Longoria didn't even have a base card in the regular set? And quite frankly, neither does Fukudome. Any ideas?

I guess Topps finally signed Kosuke to a deal because now they are able to add him to their products as he is now going to be in the 2008 Allen & Ginter set as a last minute short print, and in other products later in the year.
