2009 Topps Sterling
The 2009 Topps Sterling set features premium cards, mystery and theme packs, relic cards, autograph cards and more. The scheduled release date is set for the second week of January (2010).
One big knock from collectors on Topps Sterling was that only one "hit" per hobby box was guaranteed. In 2009, Topps is bumping the number of hits per box up to two which should be a nice improvement. Each box of 2009 Topps Sterling will include one autographed relic card or relic card numbered to ten or less, one relic card numbered out of 25, five premium cards featuring multiple players, three base cards that are serial numbered and one numbered framed parallel card or cut signature card.
