Autographed First Year Players

Topps announced that each player signed 2000 copies of their Autographed First Year Player card; however, the cards are NOT serial-numbered.

• 331 Wardell Starling RC*
• 332 Estee Harris RC*
• 333 Kyle Sleeth RC*
• 334 Dioner Navarro RC
• 335 Logan Kensing
• 336 Travis Blackley
• 337 Lincoln Holdzkom RC*
• 338 Jason Hirsh
• 339 Juan Cedeno RC*
• 340 Matt Creighton RC*
• 341 Tim Stauffer RC
• 342 Shingo Takatsu RC
• 343 Lastings Milledge
• 344 Dustin Nippert RC
• 345 Felix Hernandez RC
• 346 Joaquin Arias
• 347 Kevin Kouzmanoff
• 348 Bobby Brownlie
• 349 David Aardsma RC
• 350 Jon Knott RC

Parallels

All 350 cards are available in the following Refractor parallels.

• Refractor (Un-Autographed: un-numbered; First Year Player Autographs: limited, but not serial-numbered, to 500 copies)
• Gold Refractor (Un-Autographed: serial-numbered to 50; First Year Player Autographs: limited, but not serial-numbered, to 50 copies.)

X-Fractors

Inserted into each Hobby box as a box topper was a pack containing one X-Fractor. X-Fractors exist for all 330 un-autographed base cards and each is serial-numbered to 172 copies; however, only 162 were inserted into box topper packs. Randomly inserted into box topper packs were ten "Instant Winner" cards good for an entire set of X-Fractors. It is believed that the first ten serial-numbered copies of each X-Fractor were set aside for this contest, and cards numbered 11 and above were inserted into packs. The odds of finding an Instant Winner card were 1:103,968 box topper packs. Collectors had until August 30th, 2006 to redeem any Instant Winner cards.

Meanwhile, X-Fractors for the 20 Autographed First Year Player cards (cards #331-#350) were randomly inserted into packs. According to Topps, each player signed 250 X-Fractors, but the cards are NOT serial-numbered. Instant Winner sets did NOT include the Autographs.

First Year Player Blue Refractors

In addition to an X-Fractor, each Hobby box topper pack also included a redemption card good for a First Year Player Blue Refractor. Each redemption card had a code which had to be entered onto thepit.com (which Topps owned at the time), to see which First Year Player Blue Refractor they received. Only the 165 first year players (cards #166-#330) were included in this set were serial-numbered to 290 copies.

Once redeemed, collectors could choose to have their Blue Refractor delivered to them, or let it sit in their thepit.com account. Delivered Blue Refractors were encased in a plastic holder, similar to an eTopps card.

However, First Year Player Blue Refractors have surfaced of non-first year players:

• Derek Jeter
• Ken Griffey, Jr.
• Chipper Jones

These Blue Refractors seemingly were not intended to be produced and/or released but leaked onto the secondary market. The Jeter, Griffey, and Jones cards had the same blue refractor finish on the front and the "Blue Refractor" text printed on the back but were not serial numbered.

Autographs

Stars of the Future

Each Stars of the Future triple autograph is limited, but NOT serial-numbered, to 500 copies and also available in a Refractor parallel.
