Red Parallel
Multiple copies (up to 19 of the same card) were sold on eBay during the last week of August of 2010. These cards look exactly like the red one-of-one cards however they are missing the foil 1/1 stamp. The origin of these cards is unknown. Entire uncut sheets of red parallels without the 1/1 stamps appeared on eBay during the first week of December 2010. Some say that these cards were printed in case someone returns a red 1/1 that was damaged. It's unknown how these sheets made it out of Topps and into the secondary market.
Gold
All 220 non-autographed base cards and all 110 Prospects inserts (see below) are available in a one-per-pack parallel.
