Topps confirmed additions to the 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter autograph checklist. They have also updated the list of non-baseball signers. Yu Darvish and Yoenis Cespedes are the most notable signatures added to the set. Olympic gold medalist, Rulon Gardner, and racing legend, Richard Petty will also have autographs. Both have appeared in other sets as well.
Notable standouts on the list of non-baseball signers include Kate Upton, who graced the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, tennis star Roger Federer and iconic college basketball coach Bob Knight. Every year, Allen & Ginter brings some unique signers as well. Perhaps none stand out more than the video gamer who simply goes by the name of Fatal1ty.
