Just released File:2012topps1.png 2012 Topps Series One was released, to retail, January 30, 2012. For the sixth consecutive year, the base set will consist of 330 cards, and is accompanied by the usual slew of inserts and parallels. Each Hobby box is scheduled to yield either an autograph or a Relic and each HTA box one autograph, one game-used Relic, and a manufactured Relic. This product will feature the first Topps-issued cards of Willie Mays since 2004. File:2011dee.jpg 2011 Donruss Elite Extra Edition, a 25-card set, was released to hobby shops January 5th, 2011. Despite being the first Panini baseball card release since their acquisition of an MLBPA license, the product will focus on draft picks and prospects and contain only a token amount (around 25) actual Major League players. 190 prospects will be signing autographed cards for the set including 30 players selected in the first round of the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. File:2011BS.jpg 2011 Bowman Sterling, a 50-card set, was release on December 20th, 2011. Each five-card pack will yield one base card, one MLB Future Stars "insert," 2 autographs and a Relic. File:2011bdpp.jpg 2011 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects was released to retail outlets on November 17, 2011 and to hobby shops on November 22, 2011. Each 24-pack Hobby box will include one chrome on-card autograph. Boxes and packs depict Mariners pitcher Michael Pineda, however his card is not included in the set. File:2011leafrose.jpg 2011 Leaf Pete Rose Legacy, a 60-card set, was released on November 11, 2011. Each box contains a single pack that yields four base cards, one parallel and one Pete Rose on-card autograph. This set is not licensed by either MLB Properties or the MLBPA. File:2011tto.jpg 2011 Topps Tier One, a 100-card set, was released on November 9, 2011. Each seven-card pack will yield three base cards, one parallel, 2 autographs and a relic. All cards will be printed on thick 64-point cardstock. File:2011leafvaliant.jpg 2011 Leaf Valiant was released November 5, 2011. The design and concept is loosely based on the 1998 Donruss Crusade inserts with a few major differences. One box contains a single pack that yields 10 cards, all of which are on-card autographs. This set, except for Ichiro Suzuki, features exclusively prospects. This set is not licensed by either MLB Properties or the MLBPA. File:2011bc2.jpg 2011 Bowman Chrome is a 220 card set, accompanied by a 110 Prospects set, that was released to retail outlets on October 17 and to hobby shops October 19, 2011. As has been customary, each 18-pack Hobby box will include an autograph. The autograph prospects checklist consists of 39 players, one of which is Bryce Harper. File:2011finest.jpg 2011 Finest is a 100-card set that was released on October 11, 2011. In a change for the brand, Topps has pushed back the release of Finest from just before Opening Day, to just before the end of the season. Another change is the elimination of the much-maligned manufactured letter patches and rookie redemptions. The base set consists of 100 veteran cards with 19 autographed rookies. Each autographed rookie will be serial-numbered and seeded at the rate of one-per 12-pack box. Each box will also include an autographed rookie dual relic, two Finest Moments inserts, and six Refractor parallels. File:2011tu.jpg 2011 Topps Update, a 330-card set, was released on October 5, 2011. As in recent year's, Update will include 55 rookies, various All-Star Game and season highlight cards, and cards of players who had changed teams during the 2011 season. New for 2011 are the addition of two more Diamond parallels: Hope and Cognac. In addition to the 330 Update cards, the Hope Diamond and Cognac Diamond parallels will also include all 660 base cards and the 49 Legend variations from Series One and Series Two. The Update series adds 25 more Legend variations which are available in every parallel. File:2011ttt.jpg 2011 Triple Threads, a 168-card set, was released on September 27, 2011. The format and design of the product is similar as it has been in years past; however each pack will contain a second relic card. File:2011tml-small.jpg 2011 Topps Heritage Minor League, a 250-card set, was released, in hobby only, on September 21, 2011. Like 2011 Topps Heritage, this set will use the design of the 1962 Topps set. Each 24-pack box will include two autographs, a relic, and four serial-numbered parallels. File:2011tm.jpg 2011 Topps Marquee is a 100-card set that was released on September 12, 2011. Each five-card pack will contain: three base cards, a serial-numbered parallel, and either a serial-numbered autograph or a serial-numbered jumbo relic or multi-relic card. Each card will be printed on 48pt cardstock, a gauge not seen in a base set since Fleer's Flair sets of the mid-90s. Marquee marks the return of Joe DiMaggio to Topps, whose rights had been under an exclusive contract to Upper Deck the past three years. In addition, boxing champion Manny Pacquiao will sign for Marquee. File:2011toppschrome.jpg 2011 Topps Chrome, a 220-card parallel brand, was released on September 7, 2011. As with previous years, the set features 170 cards recycled from the 2011 Topps Baseball base set, with 50 rookies -- some of which are autographed. Each Hobby box should yield two rookie autographs. Refractor parallels return, along with the addition of a 100-card Black-bordered Refractor partial parallel. 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.
