2008 Topps Co-Signers

Description

2008 Topps Co-Signers is a 112-card set released exclusive to Hobby outlets in May of 2008. Each 12-pack box should yield three autographs (one of which is multi-player) and nine serial-numbered parallels.

Cards #101-112 are available exclusive as autographs. In addition cards #99 and #100 are available in both autographed and unautographed versions.

All autographs are either on stickers or cuts and, curiously, a large number of the autographs are of boxers.

Dual-Player

In another one of Co-Signers' quirks (or in an attempt to bloat up this product with even more parallels), each of the 100 un-autographed base cards has a second, "Dual-Player," parallel. While we've added an "A" card number suffix to the checklist below, the actual cards are not sequentially-numbered with an A. All 100 cards are only available in the eleven parallels listed above.

Printing Plates

Each of the 112 base cards are also available in a Printing Plate parallel. However, in addition to Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, a fifth plate for each card known as "5th Color" was also produced. This was called "Spot" in last year's set and was used to print the image of the secondary player in the background.

Autographs

NOTE: All autographs are either stickers or cuts.

Solo Sigs

Boxers

Somebody thought it was a good idea to include autographs of boxers in a baseball card set. Oh well, at least we got the only certified autograph of famed sportwriter (and author of numerous baseball card books and articles) Bert Sugar out of it. Too bad it was a redemption.

NOTE: Redemption cards expired April 30th, 2010.
