SHORT-PRINTED ALBERT PUJOLS & JOSE REYES CARDS SET TO ARRIVE IN 2012 TOPPS SERIES 1
01.2312

By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor


As seen on the cover of the next issue of Beckett Baseball at the printer right now, Topps will be including short-printed variation cards of Albert Pujols and Jose Reyes into packs of 2012 Topps Series 1 when it arrives on Feb. 1.

The company teased the cards on Monday, nine days before the arrival of the hobby’s most-collected set — and the same day as the arrival of the magazine.

This will be Pujols’ first card as a Los Angeles Angel, while Reyes will be shown with the Miami Marlins for the first time. Pujols will be on card No. 331, while Reyes will be on 332 — both will have different (and not short-printed) versions in Series 2.

What else will be found inside the packs?

Find the magazine on Feb. 1 … maybe some packs of Topps, too.
