2012 Topps Baseball "Gold Rush" Stamped Parallel

[YazFenway08]

in keeping with my parallel quest theme...

does anyone know where the 2012 Gold Rush stamped parallel cards come from? I found reference again to HTA (home Team Advantage) but there doesnt seem to be an HTA factory set for this year.

its only 330 cards so first series?

any help appreciated

Here's some info on them...can't vouch for the accuracy, but it sounds good.

hey Mike. i found that site too earlier today. the “gold rush” they are talking about (i think…) are those inserts that look nothing like the regular set.

on TCDb they list a “gold rush stamped” parallel (330 cards so i think only series 1) and they look exactly like the base set. they just have a “gold rush” stamp in the front similar to the inaugural rockies/marlins/etc sets

i can’t find info anywhere on those. maybe factory set inserts?

Ah, sorry...naming two sets the same thing...that SOUNDS like Topps.

Maybe they were a one-per pack type parallel? Sorry I don't know more!

very topps-like..

take that diamond sparkle, diamond anniversary, diamond blah

According to COMC, the Gold Rush insert set was a redemption set. Maybe they also were packaged with a couple of stamped base cards?
