Description

The 2010 edition of Topps 206 was released August 30, 2010. The base set consists of 350 cards -- 50 of them being short-printed variations. Unlike the 2009 edition, the variations will be numbered as an extension of the base set (Cards #301-350).

2010 Topps 206 will feature a "Historical Events" insert -- the first time a Topps 206-branded product will feature non-baseball subjects..

As has become par-for-the-course with Topps' retro-themed products, each pack will come with a mini-sized parallel -- available in a variety of back-brand variations. In addition, each Hobby box promises one autograph and one relic card.

Addition of Stephen Strasburg

An image of a Stephen Strasburg card appeared on the Topps 206 sell sheet. At the time of the release of the sell sheet, Strasburg had yet to appear in a Major League game, and therefore ineligible to appear as a Rookie Card in any product.

On June 8, 2010, Strasburg was called up to the Washington Nationals and made his Major League debut, and will be inserted into all remaining 2010 Topps products, including Topps 206.

Strasburg is included in this year's set. He has a base card which is number 55 and a short-printed no-number card. On his base card, Strasburg's photo is a portrait and he is capless. He is pitching and wearing a cap on his NNO short-print.
