2012 Topps Mini
Contents |
Description
2012 Topps Mini is a mini-sized parallel brand of the 2012 Topps flagship set, and was released on August 1, 2012. Boxes were available for sale exclusively at the Topps corporate booth at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention and on the Topps web site. Each card measures 2 1/4" X 3 1/8" -- the same size as the 1975 Topps Minis.
Based on the stated production runs and pack insertion ratios, BCP has calculated that only 8,400 waxboxes were produced and that less than 2,900 copies of each base card were produced. The Topps web site sold out of boxes at 3:00PM EST on August 28, 2012 as the 341 remaining boxes were sold to a single buyer.
Distribution
24 packs per box, 10 cards per pack (MSRP: $50/box). Available only at the 2012 NSCC or on shoptopps.com.
