36 packs -- 10 cards per pack
Look for 1 Autograph or Relic card in every hobby box
I received the following:
Base cards -- 316 of the base set of 350 or 90% of the set!!

Series 2 is obviously a continuation of the Topps base set and has the same design as Series 1. The numbering begins at 351 and concludes at 700.... however, there are 4 cards ( 2 of each with the same number.... how or why this happens, I have no idea -- #365 and 564 -- neither of which is an SP or variation....

+++++++++++++++++++
Topps Series 2 is a must for the Topps collector as a continuation of the series. There are piles of parallels - pink, cammo, black, negative, gold, clear, and I'm sure I missed several. That being said, the player collector will have a challenge to get one of each of their favorite player. The gold set collectors also have a bit of a hill to climb only receiving 4 golds in a box....
Overall grade A
Go buy a box or 3.... send the Rays parallels to me (as bad as they are - the cards can't be worth much!!)
