Hats off to Topps on T206 cards

(This story originally appeared on www.sportscollectorsdaily.com)

The idea, according to Topps, was a tribute to the original 1909-1911 T206 cards which featured the classic images of players like Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Cy Young and, of course, Honus Wagner.

Each base card in the 2010 set includes a shot of the player with his hat off but Topps has again stirred the pot with variations.

The company said Sept. 1 that there are 50 short-printed variations picturing players with their cap on that can be found at a rate of one in every four packs.

The subject list is as follows:
