2016 Topps Series 2 - The Dodgers Double Play Rip Cards

Here is something different for a Topps flagship Baseball card set.  Although, the concept is far from new.  They've had similar cards available in packs of Allen & Ginter for years.

Featured here is a checklist of the Dodgers' Double Play Rip cards.  So far, I've only seen one Dodger Rip card online, and you can see it above (see auction listing here).  It is one of five Adrian Gonzalez Rip cards that are available.  BTW, each card is a "1 of 1", and as the name suggest there is a mini card hidden within the card.  That mini card is also a "1 of 1" rarity.  Per the Topps blog:

Double Play is a new game added to 2016 Topps Baseball Series 2 with baseball fans rooting for the player on the card to fulfill his predicted event. For example, if you rip the card and the mini card inside says Mike Trout hits a home run on September 18, 2016, - and he hits a home run on that date – you win the prize listed on the mini card.

The prizes range from a unique Topps card, an autograph card, memorabilia, MLB authentic items, a trip to the World Series, the All-Star Game, and much more.

No mini card is the same either.

Since the Adrian Gonzalez card seen above references October 2016 I'd imagine the predicted event has something to do with the playoffs.  Go to this Beckett post for information on potential rewards and odds.     

Below is and example of another Rip card showing both the front and reverse.

It appears that ripping open the card could be a bit difficult; especially if you don't want to accidentally damage the mini card hiding within.  The Allen & Ginter Rip cards have a little tab that you can pull out to reveal the hidden mini card.  These cards do not appear to have that tab.

Below is a checklist of Dodgers Rip cards.
