The base cards are highly reflective with a chrome border. Photos are sharp and the design is similar to previous years chrome cards. The reverse has a simple design with a short write up on the player and his complete player stats.

*******************

This chrome issue has 2 really cool inserts - the Tall Boys and the Die Cuts (I'm a sucker for die cuts) The tall boys would be a very unique set to compile. Don't really know how hard it might be, but it definitely would be a great set to work on and eventually complete.

Not real happy about a redemption auto, however, Topps has been doing a respectable job in filling these redemptions - at least for me.

I also like the extra rookies that I received in this box. I was 'guaranteed' 24 and received 37... not bad at all.

Overall grade A-

Go buy and rip several boxes and send the Tebow's to me!

Duane, I could use the Bradshaw and Wilson and any base Giants you may have pulled. I have zero Tebow cards, but I could send you a couple Hamilton/Longoria. LMK and thanks, Robert
 
seems like a cool set i love the tall boys have some from the original set. the weeden looked pretty cool. Thanks as always for doing the reveiw
 
Thank you Duane as always....I love the chrome, whether it's baseball or football. I love the rookie die cuts, I'd take the Broyles even though he just tore his ACL :( and the tall boy Turbin...I think I will collect the rookie die cuts...
It's up to you....I can send you some Longos...I have tooooooooooo many :)

Thanks again.
Diane
