2014 Topps Series 1 - M L B
36 packs - 10 cards per pack
Look for 1 auto or one relic card in every box!
I received the following:
297 unique base cards - 90% of the base set of 331 (no #7 - retired by Topps)

Series 1 - bright white stiff cards with a glossy front. The photography gets better all the time. Each card looks really great. I like the design this year - a bit different than years' past - not cluttered - simple. The reverse has complete pro stats and Topps continues with the league leader stats in red.

Topps Series One is again one of the basics for the set builder. One receives nearly a complete base set in a hobby box ( in most if not all jumbo boxes a complete set is received.) The player collector will have a number of parallels to chase - red sparkle, black, gold, mini die cuts and 1/1 printing plates.
There are a number of SP's in this set - photo variations. To the best of my knowledge, I did not receive one in this box. I have seen a good number of them on the 'bay - most going for $5-$15 each.
The autos in this set are stickers and are called Trajectory Autos - also I have seen these on the 'bay as well with the bigger stars going for $15+. In addition to the normal autos, Stratta cards are inserted as redemptions - if I am not mistaken.
I like the inclusion of the older buy back cards in the boxes. These could entice someone to build a set from yesteryear!
Die cuts - look very good and are well done!
Overall grade A -- good design!
Go buy several boxes and send the Rays parallels to me!
