Random Topps Team Set of the Week: 2008 Los Angeles Dodgers

Thanks to the Topps Card Randomizer, introducing the Random Topps Team Set of the Week:

• Team: 2008 Los Angeles Dodgers
• Record: 84-78, first place, NL West Division.
• Manager: Joe Torre
• Card on the Top: Russell Martin

The checklist consists of the following players:

• LAD1 Russell Martin
• LAD2 Matt Kemp
• LAD3 Derek Lowe
• LAD4 Brad Penny
• LAD5 Andruw Jones
• LAD6 Andre Ethier
• LAD7 Juan Pierre
• LAD8 Jeff Kent
• LAD9 James Loney
• LAD10 Chad Billingsley
• LAD11 Jason Schmidt
• LAD12 Rafael Furcal
• LAD13 Jonathan Broxton
• LAD14 Joe Torre

The cards in order from the set (the checklist at the end was cut from the back of the package. What, you don't do that?):

Key differences between the team set and 2008 Topps eponymous set:

• Manager Joe Torre's card shows what team he manages, not just a headshot.:
  
  

And unbelievably, that's it. The cards of all thirteen players in this set use the same picture as their base card in the 2008 Topps set. That's no fun.

Next week's featured set will be the 2008 San Francisco Giants. Hope you'll be here when we compare the cards from the retail set to their counterparts found in Topps and Topps Update & Highlights.

Sincerely,

JayBee Anama
