Review 2014 Topps Soccer

2014 Topps Soccer​

24 packs - 10 cards per pack
3 Autos and 3 relics per box

Before I begin this review, let me say, this is the way all boxes should be. This box has everything - great looking cards inserts - most of which are numbered (on the reverse - yes!), 3 autos, 3 relics and more!

I received these cards:

177 unique base cards (I believe the set is 190) and 17 duplicates.



Soccer 2014 is printed on bright white stock - with full bleed action photos. The front has an excellent design with the player and team logo while the reverse has stats and stat breakdown by plays.

This is one of the better base sets that Topps has put out - in my opinion. Just the overall design is very sharp.

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

Must admit - I wasn't real excited to rip a box of soccer cards, but this one has changed my mind. Excellent box - classy looking cards, just the right amount of inserts - 3 autos, 3 relics, printing plate, numbered parallels.... what else can one ask for in a box???

Overall grade A++

Go buy a box and see if you do as well as I did with this one!!

Duane,

What can I send you for any Chicago Fire cards and/or the Tab Ramos Auto?

Jeff

The Ramos and Dempsey autos are nice pulls

What do you want to trade for the Ramos auto?

I'm not that familiar with these 2 guys. Dempsey seems to be a sought after auto - or at least that's what several folks believe on the 'bay.

I really did like ripping this particular box.

Dempsey is arguably the best current U.S soccer player

But he has two names - I thought the best were known by only one name... would you like to have the Dempsey?

This is true, but I did say U.S player

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.

We must get together next time (this September) i'm in O-town.

Neat stuff, cool looking cards!

Duane thanks for the reveiw. I agree that this is a great design from topps. The crew paatch is nice. I am not a big soccer fan but I will support the in state team of the crew.

Duane,

I posted the Chicago Fire cards. I can't find what I was looking for and really don't have anything at this time for the Ramos. I guess I will pass at this time. If I find what I was looking for, I will check back with you.
