2012 Topps Museum- Dodgers Relic Cards

Following up my past post focused on 2012 Topps Museum Dodgers base cards and autographed cards, below are a handful of Dodgers related relic cards.

I'm starting to fall in love with the set. Heck, I even like some of these relic cards. (Personally, I'm not much of a relic collector, so saying that is a big step for me)

Why am I loving these so? Well, when pairing the phenomenal design of the cards with a large relic game-used memorabilia piece, I can't help but believe that they would look great with an autograph. Just check out the cards below to see what I mean.
These two cards (above & below) are relic book cards. Considering how accessible these players are I think it would be fun and fairly easy to have them sign these cards. After all, that large wooden space is begging to be signed.

Again, getting these cards signed would be incredible looking.

This is a large piece of game-used fabric from Andre Ethier.

Here are a couple of different quad relic cards below.

Meh. I'm not a fan of these cards. Multiple relic cards do not do much for me.

2012 Topps Museum- Dodgers Autographed Cards

Following up on my post from a couple of days ago, here are some of the autographed insert cards of Dodger players that can be found in Topps Museum Collection.

There are two different Clayton Kershaw autographs.

Both card are numbered to just 100 copies.

Only 25 of these Sandy Koufax cards were signed.

There are also two different Matt Kemp cards, but none of them were seeded into packs. Instead a redemption card is provided.

The card below is a Framed Autograph card of Kershaw that is numbered to only 15 copies. This is the gold frame version. A silver and black frame parallel versions are available that are even more rare. BTW, a complete checklist for the 2012 Topps Museum set can be found here.

Here is a Momentous Material Jumbo autographed card of Kershaw. I love the look of an auto paired with a patch piece. It could only be better if it was an on-card auto. Dee Gordon, Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp cards also exist.

Below is the Duke Snider Momentous Material Jumbo.

I've always wanted a booklet card. I think the below Snider auto/ bat relic book card would be just right. It is a Primary Pieces Quad Relic Autographed Booklet.

Below are a couple of Signature Swatches Dual Relics of Kershaw and Snider.

2012 Topps Museum- Dodger Base Cards

To much applause, Topps released their super high-end Baseball card set called Museum Collection yesterday. It's has a nice simple design. There is solid white everywhere with a ornate double-line frame around an action photograph.

Here are the Dodger base cards within the 100-card base set. Four Dodgers are featured.

Clayton Kershaw, #17

Matt Kemp, #23

Sandy Koufax, #78

Jackie Robinson, #82

This particular Robinson card is a parallel limited to only 199 copies. Notice how the Brooklyn medallion at the bottom center is green instead of the typical grey.

Topps also commissioned a 48 painting set and produced a insert set out of it called the Canvas Collection. As a added bonus, a group of 10 original paintings of each player are randomly inserted in packs.

Jackie Robinson, #CC-18

Duke Snider, #CC-35

A New Topps Set for 2012- Topps Museum Collection

Topps is set to introduce a new brand to their Baseball lineup for next season. It is a high-end set that will be called Topps Museum Collection. Packs will, no doubt, be expensive and include either an inserted relic or autograph in each one. Strangely, it appears that this set is just a renaming of a brand they just introduced this past season- Topps Marquee. Check out Beckett for more info.

The above card of Roberto Clemente is the base card. For us Dodger fans, Topps shares a mock-up of a Sandy Koufax booklet card. This would look pretty sweet in any collection.
