Good lord there's a lot of cards in this box. Almost 500 base cards and inserts galore. Ten of the fattest packs known to mankind, okay, I'm going a bit overboard. After all is said and done, you should end up with a complete 330 card base set and a "few" duplicates. Now to the hits. You get a ton of Gold parallels, or one of the other colored parallels, one Golden Giveaway card, the occasional "App" card for Topps Pennant, the Gold Moments Parallel cards are one per pack as well, and to finish it out, you get a Golden Moments card or parallel. Oh, I almost forgot about the mini cards, because they almost always slip out and onto the floor. And then there's an occasional hit. My first pack was thick and heavy, so I tore into it and saw a thick beast in the middle. As I slid it into view, I saw "The Hawk" Andre Dawson and a ring for his 1977 Rookie of the Year Award, sweet, and heavy! If you haven't seen these cards they are nice. A couple of packs later the Oakland A's Tom Milone autograph showed up, nice! Second to the last pack, a Robinson Cano All Star Workout Jersey card, yes! Overall not a bad box. My one knock about this product came when I started sorting the cards. WTF! Topps decided that uniformity of the cards numbers wasn't neccesary, and they are all different sizes and were confusing as heck. It wasn't because a name was too long, or it was a vertical or horizontal layout, someone just randomly sized these things just to mess with my eyes. Hope you enjoyed the break and check us out at the Key West Card Show, October 20, 2012, Lexington Hotel, 7 a.m.-5 p.m.
