2011 Topps Baseball Stickers... Yes you read that right

So, I was shopping in the local Target the other day and decided to check out the card aisle (pretty much a normal stop for me).

What I found was a bit surprising, though, because I had not heard anything about these in the blogosphere before I saw them on the shelves (which is not normal for me).

2011 Topps Sticker Collection

At $.99 for eight stickers I decided to pick up a pack and see how the stickers looked.

First, fresh off the DL, a Brain McCann sticker.


Decent pose and nice clean design... not bad.

Now if you are curious about the size, I took a couple of comparative photos to help you envision that aspect of the stickers.


First, here is a normal sized A&G Jason Bay card compared to a Starlin Castro sticker.


Next, we have a mini A&G Jordan Zimmerman compared to a Chase Utley sticker.

So basically, they are smaller than a normal sized card but wider than a mini.

The backs of the stickers simply have a number which I am guessing corresponds to their spot in the companion sticker album (which I did not purchase) and a bunch of copyright info.

I think they are kind of interesting, mostly because we have not seen baseball stickers for several years now.  I probably won't go out and buy too many more packs, but I was happy to grab this one.

If anyone picks some up and wants to unload the Mets, shoot me an email.

I'll leave you with some other stickers I got from the pack.  Let me know what you think.

  2. I almost want to head out to Target & look for these. I collected Topps baseball stickers long before I ever got into cards, so it would be a fun nostalgia kick.
