Set of the Month
2004 Topps Traded & Rookies is a 220-card set released in October, 2004. Cards numbered T1-T65 feature players who changed teams during the 2004 season, while cards numbered T66-T70 feature managers who took over teams after the basic set was issued. Cards T71-T90 were players selected in the 2004 MLB First Year Player Draft, T91-T110 are Prospects, and cards T111-T220 Rookies. According to the terms of their agreement with the MLB Players Association, Traded & Rookies is the only Topps-branded product that could feature non 40-man roster players. Each 11-card wax pack contained two Chrome parallel cards. An additional card (#T221) of Barry Bonds was distributed by Topps directly to hobby shop accounts enrolled in the Home Team Advantage program in early January, 2005.
