The 2011 Topps set consists of 660 cards in the base set, but collector’s need to be made aware that there are 50 short print cards scattered throughout this set as well. These 50 SP cards are numbered the same as their regular base card counterparts. For example, card #271 in the base set is Adam Dunn. However, if card #271 in your base set is Babe Ruth, then you have the short printed card in the set! Most collectors will keep the SP cards out of their base set. There are a lot of people that do not consider their “master” set complete unless they have all 50 of the SP cards.
