Last year Topps Tribute Baseball was one of our favorite products. It was loaded with big
name pulls at high percentages and we benefited from that by scoring a Hank Aaron Triple Bat Relic Autograph card.
Now the chances of pulling your own Hank Aaron auto have
increased. Topps announced
today they have included an additional 100 Hank Aaron buyback autographed
cards, all of which will be extra hits.
That was good enough news alone, but there is also word that
Topps has decided to encase all of the hits, Autograph and Relic cards, found
in this year’s Tribute and seal them with a Topps Tribute Authentication
sticker. An example of that is the
Sandy Koufax Autograph encased card pictured above. This takes an already premium product and makes it even
better.
In addition, Topps has been previewing special 1/1 on-card
autographs that include an inscription directly from the player on their
Twitter account. Once again, a
great reason to follow them @toppscards on Twitter if you aren’t already and
while you are at it, you can follow us @allaboutcards too.
And to sweeten the deal even further, there have been
several new additions to the on-card Autograph checklist like Albert Pujols,
Cal Ripken, Ken Griffey Jr., Ernie Banks, Carl Yastrzemski and Frank Thomas.
With the familiar 3 autograph and 3 relics hits per box,
2012 Topps Tribute Baseball releases March 7th. By all signs, Tribute Baseball should repeat with a jump in
price shortly after the release date due to demand, so make sure you get your
preorders in now.
