UH4 Brent Lillibridge (RC)
Topps included five unannounced gimmicks for Update.  On three of the cards, the images of Kosuke Fukudome, Evan Longoria, and Jay Bruce have been flipped upside down.  The other two feature 2008 GOP Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.  One shows Palin as Governor of Alaska, the other is a photo of Palin as a teenager competing in a beauty pageant.  Both of the Palin cards can be considered part of the Campaign '08 insert set.


UH5 Chipper Jones (AS)
'''NOTE:''' None of these cards are foil-stamped.

UH9 Shawn Riggans
Inserted into each 2008 Topps factory set is a special Kosuke Fukudome card.  This card, which is sequentially-numbered "UH1," features a different photo then the UH1 card inserted into packs of Updates & Highlights.  Despite having the "ROOKIE CARD" icon, the factory set card is NOT considered a "true" rookie card.

Gimmicks

Sarah-Palin-(Base).jpg?id=edfc42c5-96f2-4979-b358-7f06f992becb&size=original&side=front&.jpg Sarah-Palin-(Base).jpg?id=edfc42c5-96f2-4979-b358-7f06f992becb&size=original&side=back&.jpg

Topps included five unannounced gimmicks for Update. On three of the cards, the images of Kosuke Fukudome, Evan Longoria, and Jay Bruce have been flipped upside down. The other two feature 2008 GOP Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. One shows Palin as Governor of Alaska, the other is a photo of Palin as a teenager competing in a beauty pageant. Both of the Palin cards can be considered part of the Campaign '08 insert set.

NOTE: None of these cards are foil-stamped.

  • UH1 Kosuke Fukudome
  • UH10 Evan Longoria
  • UH100 Jay Bruce
  • SP Sarah Palin
  • SP Sarah Palin Pagent Photo

Factory Set Kosuke Fukudome

Inserted into each 2008 Topps factory set is a special Kosuke Fukudome card. This card, which is sequentially-numbered "UH1," features a different photo then the UH1 card inserted into packs of Updates & Highlights. Despite having the "ROOKIE CARD" icon, the factory set card is NOT considered a "true" rookie card.
