2007 Topps Turkey Red
Description
2007 Topps Turkey Red is a 200-card set released in September, 2007. Eschewing the failed "Living Set" concept of 2006 Topps Turkey Red, the 2007 version goes back to a traditional numbering scheme. Unlike the 2006 and 2005 Topps Turkey Red sets, which use the same design as the original T-3 Turkey Red set, the 2007 version has an original design which was meant to evoke the original Turkey Reds.
36 of the 186 base cards are short-printed and 14 cards have SPed "ad back" variations. Card #56 was available only as an "ad back" and is short-printed. A full set is considered complete with all 186 cards and all 14 ad-backs. Both the SP's, which are explicitly noted in our checklist and the cards with the ad backs were inserted into packs at a stated rate of one in four hobby or retail packs
