Description

2007 Topps 52 is a 227-card set released in December, 2007. The design is based on 1952 Topps (hence the name), but it often confused with the more popular 2001 Topps Heritage set. Each 20-pack Hobby box will yield three on-card autographs.

Ever card in the set is was a rookie in 2007 and each card bears the MLBPA's "ROOKIE CARD" icon that had been introduced the previous year. However, since most players in this set had their "true" RC issued previously, the vast majority of the cards are "Parenth-RCs" (RC).

Ten cards, which are scattered throughout the set, have an "Action Image" variation -- 15 cards (#202 and #208-#221) are short-printed. Every third pack should yield either a variation or an SP.

Distribution

Hobby: 20 packs per box, eight cards per pack (MSRP: $5). Eight boxes per case.
