This article is about a set that is scheduled to be released in the near-future.
Some information may change as more facts become known.


Description

2011 Topps Update is a 330-card set tentatively scheduled for release in early October. As in recent year's, Update will include 55 rookies, various All-Star Game and season highlight cards, and cards of players who had changed teams during the 2011 season.

New for 2011 are the addition of two more Diamond parallels: Hope and Cognac. In addition to the 330 Update cards, the Hope Diamond and Cognac Diamond parallels will also include all 660 base cards and the 49 Legend variations from Series One and Series Two. According to the sell sheets released by Topps, it does not appear that there will be any additional Legend variations in Topps Update; however, given Topps' recent track-record, collectors should expect the inevitable gimmick.

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 Glove Leather insert.
