Description

2001 Topps Reserve is a 151-card "Bonus Box" product released in August 2001. The final 51 cards make up a rookie subset with each serial-numbered. Cards #101-#145 and #151 are each serial-numbered to 1500 copies; while cards #146-150 were exclusive to retail packs and numbered to only 1170.

The first 555 copies of cards #101-#145 were submitted by Topps to PSA for grading then seeded into Hobby boxes as a chiptopper. Prior to encapsulation, Topps had each player autograph the slab's label "flip."

In addition to the pre-graded rookie card, each Hobby box also contained an autographed rookie baseball.

Distribution

Hobby: 10 packs plus one pre-graded autographed rookie card and an autographed baseball per box, five cards per pack.
