Just released File:2012toppsstickers.png The 2012 Topps Sticker Collection is a 309-sticker set that was released Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Changes from 2011 include: additions/subtractions in the current player checklist, the addition of team mascots and the lack of foil on the team logos and legends. Loose packets, which MSRP at $0.99, contain eight stickers. The 32-page album, which contains six stickers, MSRPs at $1.99. File:2012heritage.jpg 2012 Topps Heritage, a 500-card set, was released to retail on Monday, March 12 2012. In its 12th year, 2012 Heritage is based on the "dual-photo" design of the 1963 Topps set. Each 24-pack Hobby should yield one autograph or Relic card, one over-sized box topper, eight short-printed base cards, and nine inserts. File:2012TODBox.jpg 2012 Topps Opening Day, is a 220 card, retail-exclusive, set released March 7th. As in previous years, the set recycles the design of the Topps flagship, with each pack yielding at least one insert. File:2012TributeBox.jpg 2012 Topps Tribute was released exclusively to Hobby outlets on March 7th. Each pack contains one autograph or "Relic" card, and new for this year, each autograph/relic will come encased. File:2011-12PlayCont.jpg 2011-12 Playoff Contenders, is a 50-card set released to brick-and-mortar Hobby stores on February 22, 2012, and to internet-based outlets a week later. Like 2011 Donruss Elite Extra Edition, the set is focused primarily on prospects and draft picks with a smattering of Major League players. Over 100 draft picks and prospects signed autographs for the product. Each 24-pack Hobby box is expected to yield six autographs -- two of which are on-card. 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 2nd, 2012. 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.
