Gimmicks

In a taste of, unfortunately, what was to come, the new ownership of Topps put their stamp on their flagship brand with gimmicks. There are two different gimmick cards of Joba Chamberlain -- a Yankees reliever who was a hot rookie at the time. One card depicts him as a Houston Astro -- for some reason -- and the other has a reverse negative photo on the front. Jacoby Ellsbury, a first round pick of the Red Sox in 2005, has a short-printed card. This card sequentially-numbered #UH100 -- even though there was already a card with that number in the base set. Finally, there's a card of a squirrel -- again, for some reason.

• 100b Jacoby Ellsbury (RC)
• 312 Joba Chamberlain RevNeg
• 312 Joba Chamberlain ERR (Houston)
• SQ1 Poley Walnuts
