Description

2007 Topps Moments & Milestones is a 193-card set, released exclusively to Hobby outlets, in April, 2007. The set consists of 169 veteran and retired players and 24 cards of eight different rookies.

One of the most bizarrely structured card sets ever produced, each of the 169 veterans has multiple variations based on the player's statistical accomplishments, similar to a mirror insert. For example, Alex Rodriguez's 2003 AL MVP-winning season is celebrated with 47 different variations (one for each home run he hit that season) of card #27. Like a mirror, each of the 47 cards is identical to each other, with the exception of a large numeral on the front side of the card. Each individual card is serial-numbered to 150 copies, but when all the different variations of each card are factored in, the production runs are much higher -- there are a total of 7050 copies of the aforementioned card #27.

The final 24 cards make up a rookie subset. Eight selected 2007 rookies appear on three different cards, each serial-numbered to 150 copies. Unlike the veterans, the three cards of each player are sequentially-numbered separately (i.e. Kevin Kouzmanoff's three cards are sequentially-numbered #191, #192, and #193 in the set) and there is only one version of each card.

Daisuke Matsuzaka and Andrew Miller's three base cards are the only "true" rookies in the set.

Including all base set variations, a "Master Set" consists of 12,475 cards. However, a set is considered complete with only one variation of each card.

Each 18-pack box should yield two autographs, and each six-card pack contains a serial-numbered parallel.

After-market effects of Moments & Milestones

One unintended consequence of Moments & Milestones is, with 12,475 unique base cards available, the odds of pulling a one-of-one Red parallel fell to a ridiculously low 1:30/packs. With every-other Hobby box yielding a one-of-one, the secondary-market value of Red parallels was severely depressed with Reds often selling for about the same as a parallel serial-numbered to 250-500 copies of the same player; with commons and Black parallels often ending up as $1 box fodder.

Distribution

18 packs plus a two-card "A-Rod Road to 500" pack per box, six cards per pack (MSRP:$4) Hobby only.
