2008 Topps Allen & Ginter's hobby box

Description

2008 Topps Allen & Ginter World's Champion is a 351-card set released July 22nd, 2008. Each eight-card Hobby pack contains a mini-sized insert or parallel. Each 24-pack Hobby box contains two of the following: Framed Autograph, Framed Relic, Framed Printing Plate, Framed Allen & Ginter Original buyback. Every sealed Hobby box will also contain either a Cabinet or N-43 boxtopper.

A base card of Kosuke Fukudome (the "flavor-of-the-month" rookie of 2008) was added to the base set late in the production run. The card is not sequentially-numbered and is short-printed; but produced in roughly the same quantities as the 50 other base cards (cards #301-#350) that are short prints. The "NNO" Fukudome is only available as a base card and NOT in any of the parallels.
