Opening Day - 2014 - M L B

36 packs // 7 cards per pack
'Look for Autos and Relics'

I received these:

202 unique base cards of the 220 set -- nearly 92% of the set - well done - no dupes!!!

In the vein of it's big brother, Opening Day is just like the Topps base set. Bright white and glossy with action photos and an 'Opening Day' logo on each card.

Inserts

Numbered Blue Foil

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

Topps Opening Day - what an issue! I really like this year's version of Opening Day. The inserts are excellent - the blue foil cards are a bit sturdier than the regular card and look fantastic (This could be one of the first parallel sets that I attempt to collate - who knows?)

The Fired Up and Breaking Out inserts are also extremely well done - look fantastic!

My favorite - the 3D Opening Day Stars... WOW - maybe it's just me, but I really like these cards - nearly as much as I like 'clear' cards. The 3D cards are about twice as thick as the regular base card with rounded corners.

I was fortunate in receiving an auto - it's a sticker auto (as it should be in an issue of this price point) - blue Sharpee on a card designed specifically for the sticker auto -- well done!

Overall grade A++ could be my favorite issue of the year!

Go buy several boxes and send the Rays parallels to me!!
