This unique 428-card, Hobby-exclusive, set features various All-Star Rookie winner's Topps cards that were bought-back for this set. Topps then cut-out the Rookie Cup from the original card and replaced it with a manufactured metal relic in the shape of a Rookie Cup. The cut-out original and the manu-relic Cup were then glued onto a second copy of the bought back card, giving it the appearance of an original card.
