Random Topps Team Set of the Week: 2012 Topps Milwaukee Brewers

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

• Team: 2012 Milwaukee Brewers
• Record: 83-79, third place, NL Central Division.
• Manager: Ron Roenicke
• Card on the Top: Ryan Braun

The checklist consists of the following players:

• MIL1 Ryan Braun
• MIL2 Carlos Gomez
• MIL3 Zack Greinke
• MIL4 Aramis Ramirez
• MIL5 Mat Gamel
• MIL6 Shaun Marcum
• MIL7 Nyjer Morgan
• MIL8 Rickie Weeks
• MIL9 Alex Gonzalez
• MIL10 Yovani Gallardo
• MIL11 Randy Wolf
• MIL12 Corey Hart
• MIL13 Jonathan Lucroy
• MIL14 John Axford
• MIL15 Francisco Rodriguez
• MIL16 Chris Narveson
• MIL17 Miller Park

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 2012 Topps eponymous set:

• Alex Gonzalez is shown sliding on the basepaths on his 2012 base card:
  
  

• You get to see more of Randy Wolf on his regular card (it's the same picture):
  
  

• Jonathan Lucroy in catcher gear on his base card:
  
  

So of the 16 players included in this set, there are two cards that features a different picture in the retail set that was used in 2012 Topps set, and one that used the same picture, but cropped closer. Not much to write about, but again, if you collect Brewers cards, it might be worth noting the differences the next time you come across the retail sets.

Next week's featured set will be the 2007 Texas Rangers. 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,
