Overall a nice checklist, a few things i don’t like are the mix matched stickers on some the triple autos. Backs could use a facelift. Nice replacement for the T206 brand which i really enjoyed.
Nice action photos and cool insert sets.
Really nice auto checklist. But really sucks when you get shorted the other auto and Topps will most likely send you a crap one to replace it.

The very first pack I opened contained an error. Prince Fielder’s name was misspelled Feilder on his home run heroes card.

reminds me of Topps version of diamond kings, which i loved, a great set that helps fill the void until allen and ginter.

i like this product its a throwback kind of baseball cards and the overall detail of the cards are good mixing players of yesterday and players of today. I have not got a hit out of 7 packs of retail and 3 packs of hobby but soon i will be getting both hobby and blaster boxes soon and i am sure i will enjoy it
