Final Thoughts on 2007 Topps Rookies 1952 Style Baseball
All I can say is WOW!!!! Topps did a beautiful job on this set... from the artwork on the cards down to the coalation. Even the box looked nice (it reminded me of the old cigar boxes I kept cards in as a kid). I think this product is for everyone from the kid just starting a collection to the person who will use this for ttm autographs ;) . Speaking of autographs, the 3 per box deal is great, and the autos are directly on the card which makes them even better!!!!

Here's how I would rate this product;

Value = 4
Innovation = 5
Fun and Experience = 5
Rebuy Value = 4

I rate this product an strong A for Topps!
