Just released File:T11bbst.gif 2011 Topps Stickers is a 294-sticker collection released primarily to retail outlets on August 15, 2011. It is Topps' first baseball sticker set since 1990, and the first MLB/MLBPA-licensed sticker set since an obscure 1996 set released by Panini under a sub-license from Fleer. The set consists of 270 current Major League players (one player for each of the nine positions for each team), nine Legends (all printed on foil), and 15 team logo stickers (two teams per sticker). Like the sticker sets of old, they are designed to be affixed into a custom album. File:2011lineage-small.jpg 2011 Topps Lineage, a 200-card set, was released on August 3, 2011. Lineage will pay tribute to previous Topps sets like 1952 Topps and 1975 Topps, and more obscure releases such as 1968 Topps 3-D, 1964 Topps Stand Ups, and the 1975 Topps Minis. Each 24-pack Hobby box should yield one on-card autograph, another autograph, a relic, and an over-sized box-topper based on the 1964 Topps Giants set. File:2011bp-small.jpg 2011 Bowman Platinum was released on July 26, 2011. Each 20 pack-hobby box will contain 5 cards per pack that includes 3 guaranteed autographs; 1 Relic Auto and 2 Prospect Autos. File:2011tag-small.jpg 2011 Topps Allen & Ginter's is a 350-card set that was released on July 10, 2011. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield any three of the following: Framed Relic, Framed Autograph, Cut Signature, Rip Card, Printing Plate, or Book Card. Each Hobby box will also come with an over-sized box loader. Each eight-card pack will yield six base cards, a standard-size (2 1/2" X 3 1/2") insert and a mini-sized (1 15/32" X 2 11/16") insert or parallel. File:2011udgc-small.png Released on June 29, 2011, 2011 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions is a 210-card set (231 cards if 21 mini-exclusive cards are also included). Although billed by Upper Deck as a baseball set, the product features athletes from numerous sports and non-athletic celebrities. The set is not licensed by MLB Properties or the MLBPA, and as such will not feature any current players, or any MLB trademarks. File:2011topps2-small.png 2011 Topps Series Two was released June 6, 2011. Added to the Topps 60th Anniversary Diamond Card Giveaway, will be redemption cards good for a diamond ring. Each 36-pack Hobby box is expected to yield either an autograph or Relic card and each HTA jumbo box one autograph and two Relics. File:2011splc-small.png 2011 SP Legendary Cuts, a cut-signature product, was released to shops on June 2, 2011. Each one-card "pack" will contain a cut signature card. Each five-box case will contain either a multi-player, Presidential or Exquisite cut signature. This will be Upper Deck's first baseball card release since 2010 Upper Deck; however, it will not be licensed by MLB Properties, nor will it feature any current MLBPA players. File:2011bowman-small.png 2011 Bowman was released to mass market retail outlets the week on May 12, 2011. The Hobby version was released on May 17, 2011. The set features 220 cards and a 110 card Prospect "insert" set. Each Hobby box will yield one on-card autograph, and each HTA box three. Each pack will contain five base cards, one Gold parallel, two Prospects, two Chrome Prospects, and a card from one of five different insert sets. File:2011tgq.png 2011 Topps Gypsy Queen was released April 25, 2011. Collectors are discovering that Gypsy Queen is a different product than what Topps originally advertised in late 2010. The base set has been reduced to 350 cards and early reports of hobby box breaks are yielding one less autograph. See the official Topps statement for more info on the missing autograph. In addition, there are numerous inserts (Sticky Fingers, Wall Climbers) that were not on the original sell-sheets. We will have more information on Gypsy Queen as it becomes available. File:2011tributesmall.jpg 2011 Topps Tribute was released on April 11, 2011. Each five card pack will yield either an autograph or relic card serial-numbered to 99 copies or less, and a parallel serial-numbered to 399 copies or less. The base set, like last year, will consist of 100 cards and there are no on-card autographs -- just stickers and cuts. Unlike last year, all cards will be of actual baseball players. File:2011heritage-small.png 2011 Topps Heritage was released on March 15, 2011. In its 11th year, the design of year's Heritage release mimics the design of 1962 Topps. Unlike previous releases, there are color variation sets found only in retail. File:2011 Opening Day Wrapper small.jpg 2011 Topps Opening Day was released on March 5, 2011 -- about a month before the actual opening day. As has become custom for this brand, the design of the base set is recycled from the 2011 Topps set. Unlike 2011 Topps Series One many of the players who have changed teams during the off season are depicted in their new airbrushed uniforms. File:2011ltg.jpg 2011 In The Game Heroes & Prospects Series One was released on February 24. Known for their "high-end" hockey and multi-sport releases, this is In The Game's first ever baseball card release. Each five-card pack will contain four autographs and either A) a fifth autograph, B) a cut autograph, or C) a game-used memorabilia card. As with their hockey cards, ITG does not have either an MLB or MiLB license, and as such all visible logos have been concealed. File:2011topps-small.jpg 2011 Topps Series One, was released on February 2. 2011 Topps will mark the company's 60th anniversary in baseball cards, and a number of "Diamond Anniversary" themed inserts and promotions have been added. Included are Diamond Card Giveaway code cards (similar to the Million Card Giveaway in 2010), Legends variations, diamond variations (similar to the pie cards in 2010), Diamond parallels, retail black and retro parallels and many other inserts. Topps also announced a wrapper redemption program for Series 1.
