2013 Topps N F L
36 packs - 10 cards per pack
One Auto or One Relic Card in Every Box
I received the following:
300 unique base cards of the 440 base set or 68% - no duplicates!!
NFL Football follows in the tradition of other Topps base sets in a good way - bright white cards, action photos, glossy front and lots 'o info on the reverse. The front has gold foil imprinting as well. Rookie cards are well marked with the 'RC' logo prominently displayed.

This is a consistent and very good issue for the set collector and set builder. One might be challenged if attempting the pink or the cammo set, but with 399 out there, it should be doable with the help of other collectors and the 'bay. I like the inclusion of the Gridiron Legends in the set to keep the greats in the forefront of the sport. Many of us forget history and focus only on the here and now.
There seems to be a very good number of rookies in this set. One might have a desire to collect only the rookies - might be kind of fun to chase.
I understand that there are variations in the set. To my knowledge, I did not receive one -- dang it! I have seen some on the 'bay. If someone out there has a complete list of the variations, please post it here on this thread for all to see. Thanks!
Overall grade A+ good solid effort!!
Go rip several boxes and send the Crabtree parallels to me! (Being from Texas Tech, we don't have a bunch of fellers playing in the NFL - don't ya know!)
