2004 Topps Traded & Rookies

From BaseballCardPedia.com

Description

2004 Topps Traded & Rookies is a 220-card set released in October, 2004. Cards numbered T1-T65 feature players who changed teams during the 2004 season, while cards numbered T66-T70 feature managers who took over teams after the basic set was issued. Cards T71-T90 were players selected in the 2004 MLB First Year Player Draft, T91-T110 are Prospects, and cards T111-T220 Rookies. According to the terms of their agreement with the MLB Players Association, Traded & Rookies is the only Topps-branded product that could feature non 40-man roster players.

Each 11-card wax pack contained two Chrome parallel cards.

An additional card (#T221) of Barry Bonds was distributed by Topps directly to hobby shop accounts enrolled in the Home Team Advantage program in early January, 2005.

Felix Hernandez and Howie Kendrick are the only prominent rookies.

Barry Bonds HTA Exclusive

Barry-Bonds.jpg?id=d42dddca-60d0-4556-9b06-954cc57630b3&size=original&side=front&.jpg Barry-Bonds.jpg?id=d42dddca-60d0-4556-9b06-954cc57630b3&size=original&side=back&.jpg

An additional 2004 Topps Traded & Rookies base card of Barry Bonds sequentially-numbered "T221" was distributed by Topps directly to Hobby shop accounts enrolled in the Home Team Advantage program in early January, 2005. Collectors could obtain the card by purchasing a pack of 2005 Topps Series One Baseball. The program was limited to one card per customer.

In 2004, Bonds became the first player to withdraw from the MLBPA's Group Licensing Agreement (GLA). As a result, Donruss-Playoff, Fleer, and Upper Deck (who all subscribed to the GLA) were prohibited from including Bonds in any of their 2004 baseball card products. Topps, which has never been subject to the GLA and instead signs players to individual contracts, came to an exclusive agreement with Bonds in early 2004 -- although it was too late to include him in 2004 Topps Series Two. Therefore, this bonus card is considered Bonds's 2004 Topps Baseball flagship base card

This card is not available in any of the parallels, nor was it available in a Chrome edition (see below).
