So my order from Topps arrived last night. Somehow I found the strength to hold off on breaking them until this morning. I am going to put the set together, so I need to figure out what will be available.
Here are the highlights:
Box 1:
Notable base: Machado rc
Pink #/25: Cuddyer, Murphy
Gold #/62: Davis, League, Ellis
Chasing History: Buehrle, Kinsler, Lincecum, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Lou Gehrig (I know someone who will be getting this!)
Auto: Mike Napoli
Box 2:
Notable base: Darvish rc, Bradley Jr rc, Harper, 3 different Trout
Black #/5: Michael Morse
Pink #/25: Olt, Dotel
Gold #/62: Freese, Sanchez, Detroit Tigers
Chasing History: Berkman, Votto, Weaver, Price, Rickey Henderson, Sandy Koufax
Jersey: Mike Moustakas
Box 3:
Notable base: Darvish rc, Profar rc, Bundy rc, Bradley Jr rc, Harper, Trout
Pink #/25: Floyd
Gold #/62: Swisher, Hanrahan, Saltalamacchia, Griffin
Chasing History: Berkman,Weaver, Price, Fielder, Tulowitski, Rickey Henderson
Jersey: Hank Conger
Even though these breaks were fun, it didn't have the excitement that I had last year. To me this is a nice little set, but not much changed from last year, except the addition of the pink parallel is nice. The other things was the timing of these from Topps. They waited a week after the National this time until they released them on their site. Then it was almost another week to ship. I am not sure what is up with Topps lately
Overall, these are fun to break. I'll post a want list for the base set as soon as I finish sorting.
Thanks for the look.
