Topps expands Power Player presence for Update set
By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor
Power Players were an online force in the season-opening 2014 Topps Series 1 — and they might be even more interesting for collectors in the season-capping Topps Update release.
They’ll be autographs — and more.
Topps revealed on Friday that 2014 Topps Update arriving this fall will include Power Players as autographs limited to 25, Relics limited to 99 and autographed Relics limited to just 10 copies.
Series 2 will arrive in the interim on June 13 with one autograph or memorabilia card in every 36-pack hobby box or one autograph and two Relics in every 10-pack HTA Jumbo box.
It will continue where the first installment leaves off with 330 more base cards and a number of parallels for every card. There will be the customary Gold (/2,014), Camo (/99), Black (hobby-only /63), Pink (/50), 1/1 Platinum, Red Hot foil (six per standard box), Clear (/10) and 1/1 printing plates to chase.
