2011 Topps Marquee Baseball
4 mini boxes - 5 cards per mini box
An Autograph or Relic card in every mini box
&
An on-card Autograph in every master box.
I received the following:
12 unique base cards
This premium card is printed on very heavy stock and has a high gloss finish on both front and reverse. The photos are full bleed (go all the way to the edge) and look very good. The reverse has career stats and a Marque Moment of the players' career. One will find current stars and stars from yesteryear - such as Mathewson, Jackson , McCovey, Mize, DiMaggio, and Ripken to name a few.

*************************
Marquee is a good looking issue. One will need to purchase quite a number of master boxes to get enough cards for a base set. The player collector will have a good time chasing the various parallels. I have seen many of the parallels of the several players I collect on the 'bay.
The Francis auto I received is on the card and looks great! I really like the Johnny Mize bat piece... it's the largest game used bat piece I have ever pulled. I would like to see the numbering of each of the inserts placed on the reverse and not the front of the card.
The quad jersey of Weaver is well done and considering the Angels jerseys, I can understand why all 4 pieces are white!
Overall grade A issue looks great!
Go buy several master boxes and send the Rays and Rays parallels to me!
