Topps Series 2

<a href="https://imgur.com/BvEqsv5"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BvEqsv5.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

36 packs -- 10 cards per pack
Look for 1 Autograph or Relic card in every hobby box

I received the following:

Base cards -- 316 of the base set of 350 or 90% of the set!!

Series 2 is obviously a continuation of the Topps base set and has the same design as Series 1. The numbering begins at 351 and concludes at 700.... however, there are 4 cards ( 2 of each with the same number.... how or why this happens, I have no idea -- #365 and 564 -- neither of which is an SP or variation....

Topps Series 2 is a must for the Topps collector as a continuation of the series. There are piles of parallels - pink, cammo, black, negative, gold, clear, and I'm sure I missed several. That being said, the player collector will have a challenge to get one of each of their favorite player. The gold set collectors also have a bit of a hill to climb only receiving 4 golds in a box....

Overall grade A

Go buy a box or 3.... send the Rays parallels to me (as bad as they are - the cards can't be worth much!!)

Great review, Duane --- did Topps send you an '83 Chrome Silver Pack, too?

I'd love to get that 2018 Topps Base Set Photo Variations #510C Chipper Jones if it's available.

Is there anything you can use from my trade list(s) for it?

thanks!

(I also wouldn't mind that 2018 Finest Refractors #1 Aaron Judge and/or the 2018 Finest Cornerstones #FCAJ Aaron Judge from your other review, too, if it they are still available)

No I did not receive a silver pack from Topps.... I did however get a couple from a store here in town when I bought a box.

Chipper SP and Judge Cornerstone are yours... you pick something for me and post it -- whatever is fair.

thanks! I found ten Tampa Bay Rays inserts and parallels all worth $1.00 to $2.50 from various sets from 2011 - 2017.
