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 autographed 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 an autographed rookie subset. Eight selected 2007 rookies appear on three different cards, each serial-numbered to 150 copies, and each with a sticker autograph affixed to the card. 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.

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

Distribution

18 packs per box, six cards per pack (MSRP: ) Hobby only.
