2010 Topps Tribute
This article is about a set that was just released.
Some information may change as more facts become known.
Description
Dubbed the "Dynasties & Rivalries Edition," 2010 Topps Tribute is scheduled for release the week of July 19, 2010. Each five card pack will yield either an autograph or relic card and a parallel serial-numbered to 249 copies or less. All autographs will either be cuts or on stickers.
The base set, like last year, will consist of 100 cards including a 15-card "Tribute to the Stars" subset (all done in the style of the 2003 Topps 205 set), and a ten-card "Greatest Rivalries Revisited" subset. The Greatest Rivalries Revisited subset will mark the first time Topps has included non-baseball-related subjects in Tribute.
Use of Stadium Seats as Relics
On January 24, 2010 Topps confirmed that five prominent 2009 Topps Tribute memorabilia cards included pieces of stadium seats in lieu of a game-used bat<ref>http://www.cardboardconnection.com/news/topps-confirms-use-of-stadium-seats-in-select-2009-topps-tribute-relic-cards</ref>. (Nowhere on any Topps Tribute card does it mention exactly what the relics are from, nor was the use of stadium seats mentioned by Topps on the sell-sheets.) The first images of 2010 Topps Tribute, as posted to The Beckett Blog, also use the ambiguous "Topps Certified Memorabilia" phrase to describe wood-based relics<ref>http://blogbeckett.wordpress.com/2010/03/26/first-look-2010-topps-tribute-baseball-cards/toppstributerelicmunson/</ref>.
It is unclear if the wood-based "relics" Topps will be using in 2010 Tribute will be from bats or seats.
Late Addition of Stephen Strasburg
On June 7, 2010, the day before what would be his Major League debut, Topps announced on their corporate blog that, "(Stephen) Strasburg rookie cards will appear in the remainder of Topps 2010 baseball products." Although unannounced, Topps Tribute packed out with redemption cards good for an autographed single relic and an autographed dual-relic Strasburg card. These cards are listed in the checklist below.
Distribution
Six packs per box, five cards per pack for $50. Hobby Exclusive.
