Base Cards

Received 319 unique base cards - no duplications -- 91.14% of the base set of 350!!

2018 Topps Series 1 looks very much like a Stadium Club design from the 90's.... I like it -- glosssy front with no borders and an easy to read reverse.

For baseball collectors and Topps collectors this should be a no brainer - go get a box or 3 to rip and see what you get. Otanni did not make this set - I thought he might be card #351, but we will have to wait for another issue... One should not have to buy but 2 -- maybe 3 boxes to complete the base set.

Gold Parallels this year seem to be much more restricted... I also did not receive a black, pink, or cammo insert in this box and only a few foil parallels....

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

This is a must buy for the Topps collector - set builder and player collector. The folks that have been collating the gold sets.... might have a much tougher time this year. In years past, one normally received 4-6 golds in a box....

Overall grade A

Go buy a box or 6 and send the depleted Rays (what's left of them!) parallels to me.

I can use the Gallo SP. I will let you know what Rays I have when I get home this afternoon.

Thanks,

Bryon

Interested in the Bell GU(plus any Bell) and the Arenado HR card and any gold #'d cards. As mentioned in the other thread I currently don't have any Rays to trade. If you're interested in completing the set, I should be able to help. Plmk thanks Butch


UPDATE:

Found these cards. Plmk if you can use them. Butch
