2011 Tristar Obak

Description

2011 Tristar Obak is a 120-card set released to the Hobby August 10th, 2011. The product was available one week early to attendees of the 2011 National Sports Collectors Convention.

Each 24-pack box will yield three short-prints, three autographs serial-numbered to 100 copies or fewer; a Cut Signature serial-numbered to 75 copies or fewer; two full-sized parallels serial-numbered to 75 copies or fewer; one T-212 parallel serial-numbered to 75 copies or fewer, and a Cabinet box topper serial-numbered to 80 copies or fewer.

Only 1800 serial-numbered Hobby boxes were produced.

Each 24-box case will contain one "Hot Box" which will yield 30 inserts and ten autographs. Also seeded as case hits include: A one-of-one Cut Signature; an Autographed T-212 card serial-numbered to ten or fewer; and an Autographed T-4 Cabinet serial-numbered to five or one.
