Final Comments/Grade/Best Card:
Topps has done another outstanding job with this year's set. Nice action photos and the inclusion of team cards is a great idea. The fact that I didn't pull one double out of the whole box was very pleasing. Nothing like opening a box and getting a ton of doubles. The inserts are cool, especially the Josh Gibson Home Run History cards and the Unlock the Mick inserts are a different item. I am not a big fan of black bordered cards as theY are very hard to keep from damaging, but overall very happy with this year's product. The best card I pulled has to be the Derek Jeter with Mantle and Bush in the backround (attention grabber)


Grade B+
