2009 Topps Series 2 Variations Announced

As with Series 1 of 2009 Topps Baseball, Topps has announced that series 2 has it’s share of variations showing legends instead of the normal players. After series one, this isn’t unexpected, and it’s a nice homage to the legends of the past, and ties in with the Legends of the Game insert set that they’re doing as well.

Thanks to the guys at Topps, we have the list as follows:

340     Wade Boggs               Boston Red Sox 
 350     Ryne Sandberg           Chicago Cubs
 353     Cal Ripken Jr.             Baltimore Orioles  
 355     Jim Palmer                   Baltimore Orioles 
 400     Frank Robinson           Baltimore Orioles
 415     Bob Gibson                 St. Louis Cardinals  
 475     Mike Schmidt             Philadelphia Phillies
 476     Juan Marichal             San Francisco Giants
 490     Nolan Ryan                 Texas Rangers
 495     Brooks Robinson        Baltimore Orioles
 515     Reggie Jackson           New York Yankees
 520     Tony Gwynn               San Diego Padres
 595     Robin Yount               Milwaukee Brewers
 600     Greg Maddux             Atlanta Braves
 610     Paul Molitor                Milwaukee Brewers
 650     Steve Carlton             Philadelphia Phillies
 660     Carl Yastrzemski         Boston Red Sox

I still like this concept, and I really want one of the Nolan Ryan ones, although I wish he had been in an Astros uniform.  We have more news to come today as I catch up from my vacation, so stay tuned!
