=Description=

2011 Topps Update, a 330-card set, was released on October 5, 2011. As in recent year's, Update will include 55 rookies, various All-Star Game and season highlight cards, and cards of players who had changed teams during the 2011 season.

New for 2011 are the addition of two more Diamond parallels: Hope and Cognac. In addition to the 330 Update cards, the Hope Diamond and Cognac Diamond parallels will also include all 660 base cards and the 49 Legend variations from [[2011 Topps Series One | Series One]] and [[2011 Topps Series Two | Series Two.]] The Update series adds 25 more Legend variations (available in every parallel).

Each 36-pack Hobby box is scheduled to include either an autograph or relic card, and each 10-pack Home Team Advantage-exclusive Jumbo box will yield one autograph, a relic, and a manufactured Glove Leather insert.

NOTE: It does not appear that the Diamond Sparkle gimmick (a.k.a. Twink) cards were carried-over from Series One and Series Two.
