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 on stickers and, curiously, a large number of the autographs are of boxers.

Distribution

12 packs per box, six cards per pack (MSRP: $10). 24 boxes per case.

Parallels

Each of the 112 base cards are available in the following parallels. The parallels for cards #101-#112 are all autographed.

Silver Red (serial-numbered to 400, Autographed to 500)
Silver Bronze (serial-numbered to 300, Autographed to 400)
Silver Blue (serial-numbered to 250, Autographed to 300)
Silver Green (serial-numbered to 200)
Silver Gold (serial-numbered to 150)
Hyper Plaid Red (serial-numbered to 100)
Hyper Plaid Bronze (serial-numbered to 75)
Hyper Plaid Blue (serial-numbered to 50)
Hyper Plaid Green (serial-numbered to 25)
Hyper Plaid Gold (serial-numbered to ten)
Hyper Plaid Silver (one-of-one)

In another one of Co-Signers' quirks (or in an attempt to bloat this product with even more parallels), each of the 100 un-autographed base cards has a second, dual-player, parallel.

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. It is unclear if the the 5th Color Printing Plate was actually involved in the production of this product, and if so, what the fifth color actually was.

Autographs

NOTE: All autographs are either stickers or cuts.
