I was waiting before starting to collect this set, but now I've gotta go get a box. Looks good.

I broke 3 cases of 2009 TOPPS Series 1 and found a SP Variation of #7 Mickey Mantle, so there is 20 SP Variations of these cards. Beckett does not even have a checklist as of this morning to verify any of these SPs. Has anyone else pulled the Manle SP?
