All four plates (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) for all 200 base cards were sold, and all 100 autographed base cards had their plates signed.

			A set of four Tim Beckham promo cards were issued to promote the upcoming ''2008 Razor Signature Series'' set. Unfortunately, all four cards are exactly the same, with the only difference being the card's sequential number (e.g. "TB-XP" where "X" is a number from 1 to 4). A Black parallel for each card also exists, however, none of the Black cards are serial-numbered, and appear to have been produced in the same quantities as the other promos.

	2008 Razor Signature Series is a 200-card draft pick set released in December, 2008. ~~Razor, the predecessor of the modern incarnation of Leaf Trading Cards, signed 42 2008 MLB Draftees to exclusive trading card and~~ autograph ~~contracts for the remainder of 2008 -- keeping them away from Topps' [[2008 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects]]~~ in the ~~process. Fifteen of~~ the ~~first 20 players drafted including~~ the first ~~four picks were all exclusive to Razor~~. ~~Ironically~~, ~~two~~ of ~~the better players to come out of the 2008 MLB Draft~~, ~~Buster Posey and Giancarlo~~ "~~Mike~~" ~~Stanton, signed for both Razor and BDP&P~~.		2008 Razor Signature Series is a 200-card draft pick set released in December, 2008. Each pack contained an autograph. The last 100 cards in the base set are all autographed and feature the same checklist as the first 100 cards. All autographs are "trapped cuts," that is, in lieu of sticker autographs, each player signed a paper "tab" that is mounted (or "trapped") on the card -- not unlike a cut signature.

Fifteen of the first 20 players drafted including the first four picks were all exclusive to Razor. Unfortunately for Razor, 2008 turned out not to be a particularly good draft class, and the class's best player Buster Posey signed for both Razor and BDP&P. Giancarlo "Michael" Stanton, a 2007 draft pick, also appears in both 2008 Razor and 2008 BDP&P.
