Checklist

Base Set

Series One

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps') AND (num < 331) ORDER BY num +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Series Two

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps') AND (num BETWEEN 331 AND 660) ORDER BY num +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Gimmicks

Series One

Topps created two unannounced gimmick cards for the first series.

Card #234 is a variation of the Boston Red Sox World Series card from the base set, but with former New York City mayor Rudy Guiliani Photoshopped in. At the time, Guiliani was running for President and had stated to a crowd in New Hampshire that the Red Sox were his favorite baseball team. This card was seeded at the rate of roughly 1:70 packs.

A red-bordered version of this card also exists, similar in looks to the design of the 2008 Topps Opening Day base set; however, it was inserted into Series One packs.

The other gimmick card is one of the most infamous cards Topps ever produced. It was seeded into packs at the rate of 1:72 and features a fictional teenage Japanese baseball player that, it was said, could throw 104MPH. For more information please see our Kazuo Uzuki article.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Gimmicks') AND (info = 1); </sql2wiki>

Series Two

There were six gimmick cards inserted into Series Two packs.

Two of the cards are unannounced extensions of the Series One Campaign 2008 insert: Al Gore and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both of these cards are noticeably tougher to find than the Series One cards. Also, both have "2012?" on the front.

A card sequentially-numbered "661" of New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana was also stealthly inserted. The card describes a no-hitter he, allegedly, threw during the last ever Mets game at Shea Stadium. Series Two was released some four months BEFORE the last Mets game at Shea was actually played.

The final three cards are of players who appeared in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. Shortly after the release of Series Two, Topps announced that it had acquired the license to produce cards for the 2009 WBC. One of the three players in the set, Kosuke Fukudome, was on the original checklist issued by Topps as a base card. Unbeknownst to collectors, what was supposed to have been his Topps rookie card was pulled from the base set in favor of a gimmicked WBC card.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Gimmicks') AND (info = 2); </sql2wiki>

Parallels

All 660 base cards are available in the following parallels.

• Gold Foil
• Gold (serial-numbered to 2008 copies)
• Black (serial-numbered to 57 copies)
• Platinum (one-of-one)
• Printing Plates (four-for-each)

In addition the Rudy Guiliani gimmick card is also available in Gold Foil and Gold versions.

Silk

This partial parallel features 100 silk renditions of Series Two Topps cards. Each silk "card" is encased in an Allen & Ginter-like frame and serial-numbered to 50 copies. A second batch of Silk cards were inserted into Update packs.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Silk') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3) < 101) ORDER BY (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3)) +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Inserts

50th Anniversary All-Rookie Team

This 110-card set features a who's who of players who've all been members of the Topps All-Rookie Team. There is also a Gold parallel, serial-numbered to 99 copies, available.

It should be noted that, since 1959 marked the debut of the Topps All-Rookie Team, 2008 was NOT its 50th Anniversary.

Series One

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps 50th Anniversary All Rookie Team') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3) < 56); </sql2wiki>

Series Two

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps 50th Anniversary All Rookie Team') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3) > 55); </sql2wiki>

Year in Review

This massive 178-card set takes a look back at every single day of the 2007 MLB season. The first 60 and next 60 cards were in Series One and Two, respectively, while the final 58 cards were inserted into packs of 2008 Topps Updates & Highlights.

Series One

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Year in Review') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3) < 61) ORDER BY (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3)) +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Series Two

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Year in Review') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3) BETWEEN 61 AND 120); </sql2wiki>

Trading Card History

This 75-card set features current players done in the style of classic Topps and pre-War baseball cards. Cards 1-25 were in Series One and cards 51-75 in Series Two. The middle 25 cards were available exclusively at participating Topps HTA stores.

Series One

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Trading Card History') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 4) < 26) ORDER BY (SUBSTRING(num FROM 4)) +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

HTA Exclusive

These 25 cards were unavailable in packs, but rather were distributed exclusively through Topps' Home Team Advantage dealer network.

Starting the week of February 7th, 2008 (around the same time 2008 Topps Series One Baseball was released), collectors could purchase a special five-card pack of Trading Card History cards for $0.05. These five-card packs contained the same five cards: TCH26-TCH30, and do not contain any inserts or parallels.

Beginning the week of February 14th, 2008, and continuing each week for the next 20 weeks, a new card from this set would become available, beginning with card #TCH31. All collectors had to do to acquire that week's Trading Card History card, was to buy a pack of any 2008 Topps baseball product.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Trading Card History') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 4) BETWEEN 26 AND 50); </sql2wiki>

Series Two

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Trading Card History') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 4) BETWEEN 51 AND 75); </sql2wiki>

The Campaign 2008 set features all the top candidates running for President in 2008 ... and Dennis Kucinich. A Gold parallel, exclusive to Series One HTA packs, is also available.

Two additional cards of Arnold Schwarzenegger (who, as of 2008, was Constitutionally-ineligible from becoming President) and former Vice President Al Gore were included in Series Two packs. Two cards of 2008 GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin were made in time for 2008 Topps Updates & Highlights.

Home Run Derby Contest

Exclusive to Series Two packs, if the player depicted won the 2008 All-Star Game Home Run Derby, it could then be redeemed and be entered into a drawing for a chance to win the jersey worn by the winner. Each card is serial-numbered to 999 copies.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT player FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps Home Run Derby Contest'); </sql2wiki>

Red Hot Rookies

Randomly inserted into Series Two packs were 20 exchange cards (each numbered on the front from 1 to 20). During the course of the second-half of the 2008 MLB season, Topps would announce which 2008 MLB rookie each exchange card would be good for. Collectors holding the specific redemption card would receive a reddish-orange Chrome Refractor.

Jay Bruce and Evan Longoria's RHR cards all come with a sticker autograph.

K-Mart Yellow Rookies

This 30-card set of rookies was exclusive to packs sold at K-Mart. These cards are more yellow than "gold," so as not to confuse these cards with the Gold parallels. Ten cards were inserted into each series (Series One, Series Two, and Update)

Series One

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2008) AND (setname = 'Topps K-Mart') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3) < 11) ORDER BY (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3)) +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Each set also included the five-card Dick Perez bonus set (see above).

Target Mantle Memorabilia

A "memorabilia" card done in the style of Mickey Mantle's 1958, 59, or 60 Topps cards were randomly inserted into specially-marked factory sets sold exclusively at Target stores. Like the Blue/Gold Refractors (see above) collectors could see which card they would receive.

It should be noted that the "memorabilia" swatch attached to each card is not from a Yankees jersey -- or any other piece of game-used equipment. Rather, each is from Mantle's personal wardrobe.

Each set also included the five-card Dick Perez bonus set (see above).
