36 packs - 10 cards per pack
1 Auto or Relic card in every hobby box

In the final / 3rd portion of the Topps base set for the year, the set continues with the same solid design as the 2 previous sets. I am impressed that I received a complete set of 300 in one hobby box. Normally, I am 20-50 cards short of a set.
Update Series is a must for the Topps base set builder and is also good for the player collector - especially if their favorite player changes teams...

I believe I received 4 photo variations - Darvish, Scherzer, Altuve, Murphy -- saying that, Darvish does not have Update Series on the reverse of his card under the number -- the other 3 do....
I also received 4 other cards from other Series - Series 1 - Bryant, Benintendi, and Dahl, PLUS Series 2 Clemente. All 4 of these have the same microtype number as the photo variations do in this Update Series. They are cool, but seemingly out of place. I am not sure that I have received 3 different series cards in one box prior to this one... maybe some of you have. If so, let me know.

As the final installment of the Topps base set for the year, this one does not disappoint. With a complete set and a good number of inserts, I am very pleased with this box. I have seen that there are Black and White, powder blue, and several other parallels out there. There is a lot to choose from when deciding on how you are going to collect your Topps cards.... just go do it and have fun doing it!
Overall grade A+
Go buy several boxes and send the Rays parallels to me! (or Altuve parallels - this kid is a hitting MACHINE!!!)
