This is one of my favorite reads since I am collecting the 2015 Topps base set and am blogging about it. Shameless plug - https://2015toppsjourney.wordpress.com/<br /><br />In my opinion this years design is one of the better ones lately. So far I have recapped two value packs and no doubles, that will change soon.Jason Culleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210150022760024743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-47681621072320236642015-02-11T14:47:53.171-06:002015-02-11T14:47:53.171-06:00I'm with Bulldog, got my first blaster at Targ...I'm with Bulldog, got my first blaster at Target. Then got two more yesterday at Wal-Mart. They only had four total. I mixed them up and picked out two. Got 'em home and was mildly disappointed that four out of five of the 1st Home Run inserts in the first box were the same guys as my Target box. Then I opened the 2nd one and FORTY SEVEN of the base cards were the same as the other one I bought at the same time! Guess you need some trade bait at some point, but DANG!GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-69200235788559436092015-02-10T23:47:36.400-06:002015-02-10T23:47:36.400-06:00Yeah, digging the "Robbed" inserts, and ...Yeah, digging the "Robbed" inserts, and that Konerko card is awesome.

That said when I opened my second rack pack, 24 of the cards were exactly the same from the first. What a huge disappointment. I'll still pick up more but they really need to fix these issues. Again I really enjoyed the set, subsets and inserts. It felt like Topps slept walk through their designs the past few years.

Think that pretty much summed him up.BobWalkthePlankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011292576523365641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-91036777468590890102015-02-09T18:20:30.651-06:002015-02-09T18:20:30.651-06:00I like how the quality of the photographs have imp...I like how the quality of the photographs have improved compared to, well, every set ever.<br /><br />I won't be going after this set but if I did I imagine that most of it would look like the "so-HD it looks like it painting" look seen on the Eric Young Jr. card from 2011 Flagship.<br /><br />On a side note this set does get some minus points from me for having Eric Young Jr's first generic base card in a Topps flagship set.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.com
