2014 Pro Debut
24 packs - 8 cards per pack
2 autos // 2 Relics each box
I received these:
174 unique base cards
Following the footsteps of the industry standard - Topps Base Set - Pro Debut has the same design as it's big brother. Bright white stiff cards - glossy front - HD action photos -- all very well done.
This is a must get for the Topps collector and the rookie collector. The players making their Pro Debut have that designation on their card with a "Pro Debut" foil logo.
I believe the set is 220 cards and having received 174 - that's 79% of the base set -- not bad! As a set builder and collector, I appreciate not receiving any dupes in the box. One should have more than enough for the set with 2 boxes and have enough to trade for the illusive card(s) that you might be missing for your set.
Inserts
Gold Parallels #ed to just 50
Adam Weisenburger
Luis Sardinas
I know some collectors build gold sets ... this one might prove to be a challenge with only 50 copies of each... it would be a sweet set and I would lay odds that there won't be but 1 maybe 2 collated.
Relics
Kyle Crick g/u relic
Andrew Toles (my RAYS) - manufactured relic #ed to 99
Autos
James Hoyt
Matt Ramsey
Both are stickers - as they probably should be. I really like the different color for the auto'd cards -- excellent and well done!
*********************
Pro Debut should also be a good issue for the minor league collector and the player collector. I really like the minor league logos.
If I have a negative, it would be calling a manufactured patch a relic. I like the manu patches, but, I don't think they should be counted as a relic.
Overall grade A -- very good issue.
Go buy several boxes and send the Rays (minor leaguers) and parallels to me!
