Random Topps Team Set of the Week: 2008 Topps Florida Marlins

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

• Team: 2008 Topps Florida Marlins
• Record: 84-77, third place, NL East Division.
• Manager: Fredi Gonzalez
• Card on the Top: Hanley Ramirez

The checklist consists of the following players:

• FLA1 Hanley Ramirez
• FLA2 Dan Uggla
• FLA3 Alfredo Amezaga
• FLA4 Jeremy Hermida
• FLA5 Andrew Miller
• FLA6 Mike Jacobs
• FLA7 Jose Castillo
• FLA8 Kevin Gregg
• FLA9 Cameron Maybin
• FLA10 Rick Vanden Hurk
• FLA11 Scott Olsen
• FLA12 Cody Ross
• FLA13 Josh Willingham
• FLA14 Mike Rabelo

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:

• The base card of Hanley Ramirez shows you more of the picture from the retail set:
  
  

• A different picture of Andrew Miller was used in the eponymous set:
  
  

• Cody Ross was not part of the base set, but did show up in the Updates and Highlights set as a Marlin:
  
  

So of the 14 players included in this set, one is a closeup of their eponymous card, and two use totally unique pictures only found in the retail set.

Next week's featured set will be the 2008 Cincinnati Reds. Hope you'll be here when we compare the cards from the retail set to their counterparts found in Topps and Topps Updates and Highlights.

Sincerely,

JayBee Anama
