Last Wednesday, April 25^th, the Topps Company issued its sales materials for its upcoming 2007 Topps Baseball Complete Sets.  Included in the solicitation was an offer for a complete set packaged in a St. Louis Cardinals commemorative box.  The special Cardinals box included an additional five exclusive cards not found in the regular 2007 Topps Series.  And one of the five players was Pitcher Josh Hancock.  It would be only his second Topps card ever and his first since 2005.

After this weekend’s very unfortunate event, Topps had an important question to answer…Do we leave the card as it is?

Topps felt that the proper thing to do was to pull Hancock’s card and change the format of the design.  Topps has made changes to include the words “In Memoriam 1978-2007”.

The 2007 Topps Baseball Complete Set (St. Louis Cardinals Commemorative Box) ships the last week of July.
