I received the following:
100 unique base cards - complete set !!
plus 28 duplicates.
The cards are printed on light weight stock and have a glossy finish on the front and a matte finish on the reverse. The 'pictures' are artistic and the photos take on a red, white and blue theme - imagine that USA Olympic cards - red, white and blue.... The reverse has birth date, hometown, and where the athlete currently resides along with a brief history of the athlete.

**********************
This issue is a very good issue for nearly anyone - the set collector, the master set builder, the player collector, and even the youngest among us. One will receive a good cross section of the athletes and the specialties of each for this summer's Olympic Games in London. You will be able to watch the games with a little bit of knowledge about the participants and the sport.
I appreciate the fact that I received a complete base set in this box. AND the cards are numbered on the reverse!!! THANK YOU!!
The autos and I did receive 2 - pretty cool that the box says 'at least' on it - are both sticker autos - but the cards are designed for the stickers.
The commemorative patch is well done. It is a manufactured patch - I did not receive a pin in this box, but the commemorative pins are much the same as the pins in Topps Baseball Series 1 - 2012.
Side note - If anyone receives Brittany Viola cards - I want to trade for them. She is the daughter of a friend of mine - Frank Viola ( he and I coached our sons for a couple of years in baseball.) I have the base, the bronze and the pin - coming from the 'bay. I still need the silver, gold, and commemorative patch.
Overall grade A- I prefer HD photos...
Go buy several boxes and send the Brittany Viola cards to me!!
Let the 'gimmie's' begin....
