2012 Topps Tier One Bat Knob Guide
Easily one of the most distinct insert sets of the year, 2012 Topps Tier One Bat Knob cards have the entire end of a game-used bat. While these sorts of cards have been around for years, they've never been done to the same extent. The 100-card checklist mixes all-time greats with current stars. And while some names are bigger than others, there isn't any real duds.
Although all one-of-ones, the large checklist gives them something of a chase element. Individually, it's very unlikely a collector will find the exact card they're looking for in a pack. Collectively, though, the 2012 Topps Tier One Bat Knob cards are plentiful enough that some may be willing to roll the dice on pulling one.
Below you'll find lists of 2012 Topps Tier One Bat Knob cards currently listed on eBay, closed sales and other confirmed pulls. It is our goal to document all that are found and build a resource for this set. It is likely that many of these cards won't surface publicly as they will go straight into personal collections. However, if you know someone who finds one or we're missing any, please send us an email and we'll be happy to add it to the list.

How many bat knobs have NOT been found??
Ryan Cracknell
Lee C (ID 56532) » Our list is in need of a major update. It is impossible to know exactly how many are left in packs as not all will surface online or on the secondary market. I do believe most of the biggest have now been found, including Babe Ruth.
