[[1966 Bazooka]] is a 48-card set printed in three-card panels on the sides of boxes of Bazooka gum. Each cut-out card measures 1 9/16" X 2 1/2", while three-card panels measure 2 1/2" X 4 11/16". Uncut panels and whole boxes command a premium over cut-out single cards.


[[Image:2010topps206.png|left|105px]]
The design is identical to the previous year's set, with the exception of the cards being sequentially-numbered "NO. X of 48 CARDS" on the front.
<b>[[2010_Topps_206|2010 Topps 206]]</b> was released August 30, 2010. The base set consists of 350 cards -- 50 of them being short-printed variations. Unlike the 2009 edition, the variations will be numbered as an extension of the base set (Cards #301-350). 2010 Topps 206 will feature a "Historical Events" insert -- the first time a Topps 206-branded product will feature non-baseball subjects.

Each five card pack will yield either an autograph or relic card, a parallel serial-numbered to 249 copies or less and three base cards. All autographs will either be cuts or on stickers. The base set, like last year, will consist of 100 cards including a 15-card "Tribute to the Stars" subset (all done in the style of the 2003 Topps 205 set), and a ten-card "Greatest Rivalries Revisited" subset. The Greatest Rivalries Revisited subset will mark the first time Topps has included non-baseball-related subjects in Tribute.

Set of the Month

1966 Bazooka is a 48-card set printed in three-card panels on the sides of boxes of Bazooka gum. Each cut-out card measures 1 9/16" X 2 1/2", while three-card panels measure 2 1/2" X 4 11/16". Uncut panels and whole boxes command a premium over cut-out single cards.

The design is identical to the previous year's set, with the exception of the cards being sequentially-numbered "NO. X of 48 CARDS" on the front.
