Topps Series 2 - M L B
36 packs / 10 cards per pack
'1 autograph or 1 relic card per box'
I received the following:
294 unique base cards - #d 331 to 660 - 89.1% of a base set - no dupes!!
In typical Topps style, the second series of MLB is a carbon copy of Series 1. For us set builders, thank you! The cards are printed on bight white card stock with a glossy front and a matte reverse.
Inserts
9 gold sparkle parallels
9 mini's
Mound Dominance - 4x
Golden Moments - 9x
Career Day - 6x
Gold Standard - 6x
Gold Futures - 6x
Die Cut - 6x
Short Print(s) - 2x
I am confident in the Posey SP - alternate image, but I am not confident of the Barajas. The Barajas card is number 395 and so is Jonathan Lecroy. It might be an SP or not.... if not the base set is 331 and not 330. Maybe one of the Bench members could let us know.
I have no idea what the heck this card is.... on the reverse it says 'bunt'....
Relic Card
Justin Upton
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This issue also features Topps Rings - one of my 2 favorite inserts of this series - I did not get a Topps Ring top in this box. The other favorite is the die cut cards... don't know why, but I really like die cuts.
One can also get Topps gold coins of several players - again, I did not get one of these either.
The autos in Series 2, like Series 1, are sticker autos. The relic cards are done well and there is a parallel of the relics that are numbered to 99.
Overall grade A+ --- good solid effort.
Go buy several boxes and send the gold parallel Rays, Rays autos, and Rays relics to me!!
