Base Cards


The base card design this year is very cool. The best of all Gypsy Queen in 
my opinion. But to collect the whole 350 card base set is a problem i think.
Cause 50 of them are short printed. And the SPs are not 300-350 , they are spread
all over the base set. And they are hard to get ... a real shame.

Anyways .. i've scanned some base: 


Evan Longoria 




Evan Longoria - Back





Sandy Koufax  and Justin Verlander




Nelson Cruz    and    Jackie Robinson




Derek Jeter   and   Whitey Ford (a realy great card)



David Wright 


.... cool but ... oO
.... noooo! Are you serious Topps ? -.- 
Why should anybody pick that picture ?? ^^ 



And the last Base Scan ...


Babe Ruth

  • 7 Mike Schmidt
  • 162 Bruce Sutter
