2006 Topps 52

Description

2006 Topps 52 is a 327-card set released in January, 2007. With the exception of Mickey Mantle (card #311), every player in the set met with the new "Rookie Card" guidelines that debuted in 2006. A few players were issued with either their team's current logo or the logo that team used in 1952 and Mantle was issued in six different colors.

NOTE: This set is done in the style of the landmark 1952 Topps base set. With it being printed on clay stock, and the use of filtered images, this set is often confused with 2001 Topps Heritage.
