====All-Star Gimmicks==== | |||

Most of the variations have an All-Star Game theme and show either an alternative photograph, or a photo of the player attending the ASG festivities in street clothes. | |||
It is believed that the All-Star variations are easier to find than other recent variation cards; while the seven "traded" Gimmick cards and the Ichiro variation (see below) are tougher to find. | |||

US7 | Seven cards of prominent players who changed teams during the 2012 season, are NOT included in the Topps Update base set; but are included as super-short-printed gimmick cards. [https://twitter.com/toppscards/status/252836086022287360 According to Topps' Twitter account,] the seven cards (sequentially-numbered as #US1-#US7) and a variation of Ichiro (#US272) were all "late add's" (''sic'') and could only be printed in extremely limited amounts ... allegedly. | ||
While the five players involved in the August 25th Red Sox/Dodgers blockbuster are among them (#US1-#US5), it should be noted that Kevin Youkilis (#US6) and Jim Thome (#US7) were traded to the White Sox and Orioles, respectively, in June -- a full three months prior to the release of this product. | |||
Mysteriously, there are numerous players who changed teams in July and August who Topps was able to include in the base set, including Ichiro who was traded in July to the Yankees. He has both a regular base card and a Traded gimmick. | |||

All 330 Update cards plus all 661 cards from Topps Series One and Two were randomly seeded into Update packs. Each card is serial-numbered to 2012 copies. | |||

Randomly inserted into specially-marked 2012 Topps factory sets was a pack of five Update Series Orange parallels. These factory sets, which were issued late in 2012, contain no Update Series base cards -- just the entire 661-card 2012 Topps Baseball flagship set. Each Orange parallel is serial-numbered to 210 copies. | |||
This set is not to be confused with a similar factory set that was issued earlier in the year which contained a five-pack of Orange parallels from the flagship set. That factory set was distributed exclusively to Hobby outlets. | |||

Randomly inserted into packs are 100 redemption cards -- one card for President Obama and the other for Governor Romney -- for each of the 50 states. If the candidate depicted wins the state in the 2012 Presidential Election, the card is then eligible for entry into a contest. 50 winning cards will be chosen and will be given a special commemorative manufactured patch card of the winner of the 2012 Election. | |||

Description
2012 Topps Update, a 330-card set, was released on Monday, October 1, 2012. As in recent years, Update will include 55 rookies, various All-Star Game and season highlight cards, and cards of some players who had changed teams during the 2012 season. Each 36-pack Hobby box is scheduled to include either an autograph or relic card, and each 10-pack Home Team Advantage-exclusive Jumbo box will yield one autograph, a Relic, and a manufactured "Relic" insert. Like recent Topps flagship releases, short-print variations and super short-prints are also seeded into packs.

Base Set
<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2012) AND (setname = 'Topps Update'); </sql2wiki>
Errors, Gimmicks, and Variations
All-Star Gimmicks
Most of the variations have an All-Star Game theme and show either an alternative photograph, or a photo of the player attending the ASG festivities in street clothes.
It is believed that the All-Star variations are easier to find than other recent variation cards; while the seven "traded" Gimmick cards and the Ichiro variation (see below) are tougher to find.
<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player FROM cards WHERE (year = 2012) AND (setname = 'Topps Update Gimmicks') AND (info LIKE 'AS%') ORDER BY SUBSTRING(num,1,1),lpad(SUBSTRING(num,2),10,0); </sql2wiki>
Traded Gimmicks
Seven cards of prominent players who changed teams during the 2012 season, are NOT included in the Topps Update base set; but are included as super-short-printed gimmick cards. According to Topps' Twitter account, the seven cards (sequentially-numbered as #US1-#US7) and a variation of Ichiro (#US272) were all "late add's" (sic) and could only be printed in extremely limited amounts ... allegedly.
While the five players involved in the August 25th Red Sox/Dodgers blockbuster are among them (#US1-#US5), it should be noted that Kevin Youkilis (#US6) and Jim Thome (#US7) were traded to the White Sox and Orioles, respectively, in June -- a full three months prior to the release of this product.
Mysteriously, there are numerous players who changed teams in July and August who Topps was able to include in the base set, including Ichiro who was traded in July to the Yankees. He has both a regular base card and a Traded gimmick.
<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2012) AND (setname = 'Topps Update Gimmicks') AND (info LIKE 'SP%') ORDER BY SUBSTRING(num,1,1),lpad(SUBSTRING(num,2),10,0); </sql2wiki>
Parallels
All 330 cards are available in the following parallels.
- Blue (Wal-Mart exclusive)
- Red (Target exclusive)
- Gold Sparkle
- Black (serial-numbered to 61 copies, Hobby and HTA only)
- Platinum (one-of-one)
- Wood (one-of-one)
- Printing Plates (four for each, Hobby and HTA only)
Gold
All 330 Update cards plus all 661 cards from Topps Series One and Two were randomly seeded into Update packs. Each card is serial-numbered to 2012 copies.
Orange
Randomly inserted into specially-marked 2012 Topps factory sets was a pack of five Update Series Orange parallels. These factory sets, which were issued late in 2012, contain no Update Series base cards -- just the entire 661-card 2012 Topps Baseball flagship set. Each Orange parallel is serial-numbered to 210 copies.
This set is not to be confused with a similar factory set that was issued earlier in the year which contained a five-pack of Orange parallels from the flagship set. That factory set was distributed exclusively to Hobby outlets.
Silk
Each Silk card is framed and serial-numbered to 50 copies.
<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT player FROM cards WHERE (year = 2012) AND (setname = 'Topps Update Silk') ORDER BY player ASC; </sql2wiki>
Inserts
Blockbusters

1987 Topps Minis
Each 1987 Topps Mini is done in the style of the 1987 Topps set and measures 2 1/8" X 3 1/4" -- the same size as the 1975 Topps Mini set. It should be noted that the actual 1987 Topps Mini Leaders have a different design.
<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player FROM cards WHERE (year = 2012) AND (setname = 'Topps 1987 Topps Minis') AND (SUBSTRING(num FROM 4) > 100) ORDER BY (substring(num FROM 4)) +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>
Presidential Predictors
Randomly inserted into packs are 100 redemption cards -- one card for President Obama and the other for Governor Romney -- for each of the 50 states. If the candidate depicted wins the state in the 2012 Presidential Election, the card is then eligible for entry into a contest. 50 winning cards will be chosen and will be given a special commemorative manufactured patch card of the winner of the 2012 Election.
