==Alex Gordon "Rookie Card" controversy==
Card #297 Alex Gordon was pulled early in production because Gordon did not have any major league experience which violated the new Rookie Card rules instituted during the off-season by the MLBPA. Topps estimates around 100 Gordon cards made it into production while Beckett estimates 200 to 500. Beckett also estimates that 2500 to 5000 cut out versions made their way into packs. The "Cut Out" variations of the Gordon card are where Topps literally cut Gordon's image out of the card, leaving only an empty cardboard frame.

'''NOTES'''
* 2006 was the first season for the MLB-mandated [[Rookie Card|rookie card rules.]]  Those players who had their "true" rookie cards in pre-2006 products, but have the "ROOKIE CARD" icon anyway, are designated with an "(RC)".

* Card #297 of Alex Gordon was pulled early in production because Gordon had yet to make his Major League debut, in violation of the new rookie card rules.  Gordon, whom the Kansas City Royals selected with the second pick overall in the 2005 MLB Draft, was expected to be called up to the big leagues as soon as Major League rosters expanded to 40 players on September 1st, 2005.  But Gordon did not sign with the Royals until after the 2005 season was over, spent the 2006 season in the minors, and did not make his Major League debut until Opening Day 2007. 
There are four known versions of this card: The "in-tact" version; a "cut out" version where Topps literally cut Gordon's image out of the card, leaving only an empty cardboard frame; and a blank white card with Gordon's name and team name stamped in either gold foil or silver foil.  (Please note that the "in-tact" version depicted above is from the [[2010 Topps]] The Card's Your Mother Threw Out insert set.  A genuine 2006 Topps Alex Gordon card does not have the gray Topps logo to the left of Gordon's face.  The in-tact card is so rare, we could not find a representative copy.)
Topps estimates around 100 Gordon cards made it into production while Beckett estimates 200 to 500. Beckett also estimates that 2500 to 5000 cut out versions made their way into packs.  For more information on the infamy of this card [https://www.sbnation.com/2014/10/29/7083881/the-time-topps-went-after-alex-gordon-with-razors check out this article on SB Nation.]

* Just before the start of the 2006 season, John Koronka was traded from the Cubs to the Rangers.  Since it was too late to include Koronka in Series Two, Topps airbrushed Koronka into a Rangers uniform for the factory set edition.  Koronka does not appear in [[2006 Topps Updates & Highlights]].

Holders of the winning card in the Home Run Derby Contest promotion (see below) could redeem it for Blue factory set.  Since only ten copies of each player's Home Run Derby Contest card were inserted into packs, each Blue parallel is serial-numbered to ten. 
Topps later announced that only one of the ten winning cards was ever redeemed, so each Blue card can be thought of as a one-of-one, even though they are all serial-numbered "07/10."

The set is identical to a set released in the [[2005 Topps|previous year's product;]] however, since Bonds was injured most of 2005, Topps merely repeated the same contest for 2006.  


Game #50-4th Inning was the winning card.

This set features 50 players whose card could, provided they won the 2006 All-Star Game's Home Run Derby, be redeemed for a special Blue parallel of the entire base set (660 cards). Each person with the winning card (Ryan Howard) received 1 of 10 sets. According to Topps, only one lucky collector submitted the Ryan Howard card (serial number 5/10), so only one set (7/10) was mailed out. What happened to the other nine sets remains a Hobby mystery.

NOTE: Lloyd McClendon was fired as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates towards the end of the 2005 season with Pete Mackanin serving as interim-manager for the remaining 26 games. For Series One, Topps erroneously put a photo of McClendon (who is African-American) on Mackanin's (who is white) card (#287). This error was corrected in time for the factory sets.

NOTES

  • 2006 was the first season for the MLB-mandated rookie card rules. Those players who had their "true" rookie cards in pre-2006 products, but have the "ROOKIE CARD" icon anyway, are designated with an "(RC)".

Alex-Gordon.jpg?id=3ca09e92-2210-4b28-9401-fda9486665ce&size=original&side=front&.jpg Alex-Gordon-(Cut-Out).jpg?id=6c7b45c3-6a16-4486-86b1-d4ffac8ff872&size=original&side=front&.jpg Alex-Gordon-(Gold-Foil-Blank).jpg?id=37b75f6e-4e89-4299-9417-5e76a0077d67&size=original&side=front&.jpg

  • Card #297 of Alex Gordon was pulled early in production because Gordon had yet to make his Major League debut, in violation of the new rookie card rules. Gordon, whom the Kansas City Royals selected with the second pick overall in the 2005 MLB Draft, was expected to be called up to the big leagues as soon as Major League rosters expanded to 40 players on September 1st, 2005. But Gordon did not sign with the Royals until after the 2005 season was over, spent the 2006 season in the minors, and did not make his Major League debut until Opening Day 2007.

There are four known versions of this card: The "in-tact" version; a "cut out" version where Topps literally cut Gordon's image out of the card, leaving only an empty cardboard frame; and a blank white card with Gordon's name and team name stamped in either gold foil or silver foil. (Please note that the "in-tact" version depicted above is from the 2010 Topps The Card's Your Mother Threw Out insert set. A genuine 2006 Topps Alex Gordon card does not have the gray Topps logo to the left of Gordon's face. The in-tact card is so rare, we could not find a representative copy.)

Topps estimates around 100 Gordon cards made it into production while Beckett estimates 200 to 500. Beckett also estimates that 2500 to 5000 cut out versions made their way into packs. For more information on the infamy of this card check out this article on SB Nation.

  • Just before the start of the 2006 season, John Koronka was traded from the Cubs to the Rangers. Since it was too late to include Koronka in Series Two, Topps airbrushed Koronka into a Rangers uniform for the factory set edition. Koronka does not appear in 2006 Topps Updates & Highlights.

Gimmicks

Alay Soler was a Cuban defector who pitched eight games for the Mets in 2006. His rather uneventful career is best remembered for a unannounced "rookie" card that was randomly inserted into Series Two packs. Production figures were never fully released, however it is estimated that 750 copies were made. Despite having the "ROOKIE CARD" icon, this is not a "true" rookie card.

The Soler card is the first of a number of short print or super short-printed "gimmick" cards that Topps included in future Topps flagship products.

All 659 base cards are available in the following parallels.

  • Gold (serial-numbered to 2006 copies)
  • Black (serial-numbered to 55; HTA Jumbo packs only)
  • Platinum (one-of-one)
  • Printing Plates (set of four for each; HTA Jumbo packs only)

Parallels do NOT exist for the Alex Gordon and Alay Soler cards or for the John Koronka ad Pete Mackanin replacement cards.

Holders of the winning card in the Home Run Derby Contest promotion (see below) could redeem it for Blue factory set. Since only ten copies of each player's Home Run Derby Contest card were inserted into packs, each Blue parallel is serial-numbered to ten.

Topps later announced that only one of the ten winning cards was ever redeemed, so each Blue card can be thought of as a one-of-one, even though they are all serial-numbered "07/10."

In 2006, Topps signed a ten-year agreement with the estate of Mickey Mantle. Beginning in 2006, card #7 in the Topps base set (which had been previously "retired") would feature Mantle. To backfill the years between his death and the present day, Topps randomly inserted into Series One ten Mantle cards done in the style of the Topps flagship from 1996-2005. Each card is also available in the following parallels.

  • Gold (see below)
  • Black (serial-numbered to seven copies; exclusive to HTA packs.)

This 11-card set was inserted into Series One packs to promote the MLB 2K6 video game. Cards 1-6 were packaged with the game while cards 7-11 were randomly inserted into packs.

Andruw Jones signed 100 copies of his card for random inserted into MLB 2K6 games.

Barry Bonds Chase to 715

This massive 1620-card set features ten cards (one for each inning plus a tenth "extra innings" card) for each game in the 2006 San Francisco Giants season. Each card is a one-of-one. If Barry Bonds hit his career 715th home run in the exact inning listed, the winning card could be redeemed for a prize.

The set is identical to a set released in the previous year's product; however, since Bonds was injured most of 2005, Topps merely repeated the same contest for 2006.

Game #50-4th Inning was the winning card.

This set features 50 players whose card could, provided they won the 2006 All-Star Game's Home Run Derby, be redeemed for a special Blue parallel of the entire base set (see above). Each person with the winning card (Ryan Howard) received one of ten sets. According to Topps, only one lucky collector submitted the Ryan Howard card (serial number 5/10), so only one set (7/10) was mailed out. What happened to the other nine sets remains a Hobby mystery.

Each card is serial-numbered to only ten copies.

This 25-card set was distributed exclusively through Topps Home Team Advantage dealer network. A new card was available each week, and to acquire that week's card collectors had to purchase a pack of Topps cards from their local HTA dealer.

Each card is a reprint of the player's Topps rookie card, but with a different photo then the original.
