If you’re a student of prospects, Topps is banking on you to support “the official card of minor league baseball”. 2011 Topps Pro Debu
t will launch later this spring, the second issue from the company’s deal with MLB to produce a set focused on big league prospects.
Topps released some images and information for this year’s set on Thursday.
Each 24-count box will include four hits: two autographs and two game-worn relics featuring swatches of minor league jerseys. Eight parallels will be found in those packs as well as a total of 18 inserts.
The base set will have 330 cards and consist of only one series this year.
Side-by-side dual autographs will be among the highlights.
Among the insert sets will be A, AA and AA stars featuring players who appeared in the All-Star Games at each level. Also randomly packed will be the printing plates used to create the inserts–four plates per subject and 400 one-of-one plates in all.
