So Topps releases the Cardinals HOF cards.... granted four great players.
But the other day the Red Sox inducted Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens and Nomar Garciaparra...
No set for those Red Sox players?
I'm guessing Mike has something to do with it since he's a Yankees fan and hates the Red Sox.

It's also possible they don't have the digital rights to any of those players. We've seen inserts for all 4 Cards players in the past and they left out the most important Cards player of all - Stan Musial.

So let's pursue this as I am curious...Topps has the MLB license exclusively and we are saying they can't produce a dig card for just anyone now ? you're right as Stan the Man would be a bigger star/legend than 3 of the 4 issued this afternoon.

One was juiced, one was great, and one will be forgotten in about 100 years

I believe digital rights are separate and so even though Topps may have the rights to produce a baseball card, they can't produce a digital card.

It is also possible that Stan the Man is the award card as I don't believe they identified the award card for this set yet ?

He basically admitted that he took steroids in Toronto to spite the front office of the Red Sox for thinking his career was over. Still, Pedro Martinez easily had the most dominant stretch of pitching since I was born and he deserves a Bunt card

Huh? Awards don't mean anything. Plus, Maddux pitched only in the National League. Pedro pitched 7 years in the AL. Aside from his 1997 year in Montreal, his best years were in Boston.

Uh, yeah, being named the best pitcher in your league for four straight years doesn't mean anything. So many guys have done that. Just admit that your fan bias led you to use a little bit of hyperbole.

I think Topps Juiced should be a set!!
Canseco, McGwire, Palmero, Clemens, and others with barry Bonds as the award!
