dave submitted a CBS story about how Topps owns a "Trade Barry!" billboard that has been seen near the Giants' ballpark.

The billboard made the papers and the local newscasts since it seemed to be taking a swipe at Giants slugger Barry Bonds. Topps says "trade" in the advertisement refers to trading Bond's baseball cards. The company revealed the second phase of its advertising campaign Tuesday with a new advertisement that replaced the original sign.

Topps has created a special set of cards commemorating Bond's home run record chase. The Giants slugger is in the center of a steroid scandal.

Regardless of whether or not it was intentional, Topps got some free publicity out of it.
