Description

2008 Topps Sterling is a 282-card set released December 24th, 2008. Only 38 players (all retired) were included and each Hobby box lists on the outside one of the players -- which is concealed with a paper slipcase. Each box will yield three base cards (all serial-numbered to 250 copies) and either a Relic or an Autographed Relic serial-numbered to ten or fewer of the player listed. In addition, each Hobby box contains a "Mystery Pack" which will have either a framed parallel serial-numbered to 50 copies or fewer or a one-of-one Jumbo Relic. The card contained in the Mystery Pack will not necessarily be the player listed on the box.

Distribution

Four cards plus one "Mystery Pack" per box (MSRP: $250). Hobby only. Five or ten boxes per case.
