2007 Topps Moments And Milestones Baseball Card Set

In 2007, the Topps trading card company revolutionized the baseball card hobby by releasing a massive set called 2007 Topps Moments and Milestones.  The set totals 12,453 cards (not including the add-on rookie card set) and at the time was the largest sports card set ever assembled!  To date, it is the second largest sports card set ever, trailing only the 2008 Topps Moments and Milestones baseball set!

The set often is criticized for being impossible to build and for being extremely complicated.  The set is designed like this:

• There are 169 regular cards in the set (not including the add-on rookie card set)
• Each card (#1-169) celebrates a milestone in that player’s career
• For example, card # 2 in the set is a tribute to Albert Pujols’ 130 RBI season in 2006
• So since it celebrates 130 RBI, there are 130 variations of card #2 (1-130)
• Each regular card is printed on white cardboard and is serial #’ed to 150 copies

There are also parallels built into to the set to make busting packs more enjoyable.  There is the black parallel which every card is serial numbered to only 29 copies and there is the highly popular red parallel where every card is serial numbered to just 1 copy in the world!

Today, singles from this set are hard to find and usually can be found easiest and cheapest at online auction sites such as eBay, SportsBuy and sportZoid.  Collectors can expect to pay roughly between 25 cents – 50 cents for the white (/#150) cards and about $1.00-$2.00 for the black parallel cards (numbered to 29 copies each).

If you are considering collecting this set and attempting the “impossible,” its recommended that you search the auction sites on the internet for the best deal. Aside from auction sites, you can also check your local hobby shop, flea markets and yard sales. Good luck wtih completing this massive set and enjoy the fun of completing the impossible!
