168 unique base cards (including the Under 24) of the base set of 200 -- 84% of the base set!! EXCELLENT!!

Major League Soccer is an excellent base issue to get the US soccer fan involved in collecting cards. There is a good mixture of parallels and inserts to keep nearly anyone interested in the issue.

The base cards are full bleed action cards -- no border and condition sensitive. The front features an action shot and has a glossy finish. The reverse has personal stats and complete professional stats with a short write up of a highlight of the player's career.

MLS should be an excellent issue for the player collector as well with a number of inserts and parallels.

Laurent Ciman and Nick Hagglund

Both autos are sticker autos -- blue Sharpee. Well done and well designed!!

Overall grade A+ ---- well done!

Go buy several boxes and IF you pull a low numbered insert of an Orlando City player -- let's trade!

I'm not a soccer fan, but I really like those 1988 Topps throwbacks. I wish the 2018 baseball product would have done an '88 tribute instead of the '83 set (which we just saw in 2015 with the Archives set).
