Greg Did anyone notice that on all the position players cards (excluding rookie cards & all-star rookie cards) there is a misprint? They have the doubles column labelled as 3B.

joe Hey Chris, are the blues and golds numbered.
Posted January 31, 2012 at 4:13 pm PermalinkThank you Mr. Olds for the video! I was the first person at my local Target. Did not feel ashamed buying retail, thanks to your video. Picked up 5 blaster boxes. So stoked that I was there before any pack searching troll got to these gems. Love the minis, and golden futures.
Thanks,
Long beach, Ca
chrisolds Golds and Blues are NOT serial-numbered.

Keith Wow, every card of a position player does have 3b for the doubles column. You would think that Topps QA would have noticed. I guess they are too busy creating gimmick cards and closing down eTopps and raising prices on everything. I guess now they can correct it on the complete sets and we will have two variations of every position player.
Please give us back another manufacturer MLB!!!

Robert Leave it to the Topps Monopoly to discontinue the most popular Topps Gold serial numbered serial series.

Maybe I’m missing something but isn’t Eric Hosmer’s rookie year 2011?

Robert Braxton Good job Chris!
Posted February 2, 2012 at 12:45 am Permalinktopps needs to get some color in their cards like the 60′s-70′s less inserts where did the checklist go, if topps thinks its necessary then add subsets featuring older players as part of the set, maybe we need 3 series
