2006 Topps

Trivia

Add Item

• After nearly 10 years without a card #7, Topps not only included a #7 card for the first time since its 1996 set, but it also produced a 10-card insert set of all the missing #7 cards from 1997-2005 with an new 1996 card.
• Despite an agreement with the MLB Players Association where no players could appear in sets if they weren't on their team's 25-man roster and hadn't made their MLB debut yet, Topps included Royals top prospect Alex Gordon on card #297 then tried to destroy all copies of it. Besides the full and cut-out versions, there are also blank ones that include silver or gold foil.
