Topps
Chronicles Barry Bonds' Long Ball History
He
might be on the shelf right now, but when Barry Bonds returns, expect
some major hype as he chases down Babe Ruth for second all-time on the
career home run list. Then watch it kick into overdrive as he aims for
the top of the list by passing Hank Aaron.
Topps has announced an ambitious cross-set insert that will chronicle each and every one of Bonds' career home runs. Beginning with the just-released 2005 Topps Series 2, Topps celebrates his career in a unique set called Home Run History.
In Series 2, collectors will be able to find cards for home runs 1-330 inserted 1:4 packs, with each card featuring specifics of that particular home run on the back. The series will continue in 2005 Topps Traded & Rookies, where collectors will be able to find home run cards 331-660. The set will be caught up to date with the release of 2006 Topps Series 1, which will feature home run cards 660-?
Next month, Topps will launch "The Barry Bonds Trading Floor", a special website dedicated exclusively to collectors who wish to trade cards from this special Barry Bonds set.
