  • Topps Crops Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez for 2011 Cards

    Collectors (especially those who follow the Red Sox) will be interested to know that Topps was able to work some last second magic and get Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez into their new Boston uniforms for the upcoming 2011 Topps Series 1.

    But there’s a catch.

    Topps claims that because these were a late add, the cards will be short printed and numbered as variations.

    That likely means both players will be pictured in their 2010 uniforms in the cards that most collectors pull.

    Topps used its graphics program to make it look like the players were wearing their new uniforms in action photos.

    Gonzalez was traded from San Diego in the off-season while Crawford signed a 7-year, $142 million free agent contract with the team last week.

    Can't say i'm impressed with photo shopping the Boston uniform on the cards and then calling them short printed, but i'm sure Boston collectors will love it

      Well, as a Boston fan, I only collect the players in the Boston uni. Cropped or not. So, of course if you get one, I am sure you know I would want it.

      Collecting any Boston Sports (base,insert,GU,Auto) All Teams (Red Sox,Celtics,Patriots,Bruins)
      Also collect UNH Football/Hockey cards
      Also now collecting any cards including all dupes of all the following :
      MLB : Brian Wilson (Giants, Dodgers), Chris Carpenter (Blue Jays, Cardinals), Sam Fuld (Rays), Mike Flanagan (Orioles, Blue Jays), Phil Plantier (Padres, Red Sox), Jeff Locke (Pirates)
      NFL : Kendall Reyes (Chargers), Greg Landry (Lions), David Ball (Bears), Jerry Azumah (Bears), Dwayne Sabb (Patriots), Dan Kreider (Steelers), Ricky Santos (no pro cards)
      NBA : Matt Bonner (Spurs)
      NHL : Steve Leach, James VanRiemsDyk, Jason Krog, Eric Boguniecki, Andy Brickley, Ty Conklin, Kevin Dean, Rod Langway, Bryan Muir, Daniel Winnik
      I unfortunately can no longer afford to trade outside the US. Even rates to Canada are way too high now!

        I would rather have a card of a player cropped in their new uniform than having an old team uniform with the words signed with or traded to (the new team) on it.
