2015 Update Series - M L B

36 Packs - 10 cards per pack

I received these:

Tulo - jsy

Inserts

My 1st SPARKLE card... - Justin Bour
No 'All Star' logo - Cain
Photo variation - Swihart

For variations, one has to look at the mice type on the reverse of the card - any number that is not 015520 is a variant....

Highlight of the Year and Tape Measure Blasts



Highlight -- 9x
TMB - 4x

Parallels

Whatever Works - 5x
Rarities - 4x

Rookie Sensations // Pride and Perseverance



Rookie Sensations - 6x
Pride and Perseverance - 3x

P&P is my favorite insert -- these guys overcame fantastic obstacles to play baseball at the highest level possible... very inspiring!!

Topps Originals



Originals w/stamp - 7x... didn't we only get 1 or so per box in the past? Not griping, just a bit surprised...

Base

294 unique base cards received - 73.5% of the base set of 400.

Update Series is a must for the base set collector. Update completes the year for the Topps base sets. The parallel collectors will be somewhat pleased with black, pink, cammo, foil, and gold parallels to chase of their favorite players and teams.

Insert collectors - WOW -- there are a bunch of inserts to chase down and the master set builders -- lots-o-work to do there. Other inserts include the manufactured Etched in History (15 cards), jumbo patches from the All Star players jerseys, and various autos.....

In the jumbo box that I purchased, I received a complete set of the base cards, an Etched in History card, jumbo patch and an auto... (also the jumbo is more expensive than the regular hobby box.)

Overall grade A -- good start to the base set with lots of inserts to trade to complete the base set.

Go buy several boxes and send the Rays parallels to me!

I will look and see if I got any parallels of the Rays. I would like to try and trade for the Swihart.
 
I like the team cards and pictures of groups of players in update....Pull any vogelsong us5, phelps us30, or pirates parallels?
 
Thanks for the review Duane. Topps high number sets are, and always will be my favorite. As a team collector it's usually my first taste of a new player pictured in my teams uniform. Please Topps, do this with football as well. Please LMK if you pulled any of these
