I really like the A+G and the Gypsy Queen. Especially the Gypsy Queen.
Both have the usual for modern stuff assortment of tiered inserts and GQ had pose variations in 2012. Fortunately there's a few good online checlists.
On the less positive side, the collation is not bad for a small sample, but horrible otherwise. It's incredibly expensive to complete a set from retail. I got within 9 cards of 2011 topps series 1 before taking my wantlist to the local card shop. A+G and GQ were even worse and I still havent completed either. (At something like $200+ each figuring a blaster box a week for 10 weeks- I really don't like doing that math, but it's fun. I call it entertainment and it's ok?)
Some of the inserts are really cool though. The GQ had ones with a paper frame added. Both a tough insert and a retial only version in rack packs. Those are really nice looking.
But yeah, if you're looking for value just buy a set from an ebay seller who's broken loads of boxes looking for the really special inserts.
