I know it's new, but I just opened a few new cards from a set that looked interesting. Topps lineage. The basic set is pretty standard stuff, glossy, foil etc. And there's a couple sets of 50th anniversary cards that are shiny glittery things.
But it's only a 200 card set and ther are lots of older players included.
And the inserts! Topps pulled a bunch of stuff out of their 50 years of crazy.
"75 minis" paralell - New cardboard, but the right size and off center just like the originals.
cloth stickers- I didn't get any
3D - Yep, actual old fashioned 3D cards that look sort of like the 68's
rookies - same design as the all star and rookie rack inserts of the 80's
"venezuelan" - A bit of a letdown, just the regular ones but in spanish
standups - pretty much just like the 64s.
It looks like the obligatory piece of uniform/bat/ whatever else cards are a 75 mini design too. I got a Sabathia jersey card which should be very common...:rolleyes:
All in all a really nice set.
