I bought the complete set on Ebay ($50.00 plus shipping), so much cheaper this way. I found one card missing in the set #64 Malloy and I reached out to the seller and he is working on it for me. I have scanned the entire 200 card set (minus the Malloy). I will show the first half tonight and the other half tomorrow night.
Let me say this before you peek at the cards.... I am disappointed in Topps/Fanatics with the product this year (last year).
The Pros: there are several great photos used but not as many as usual. Lots of good shots though.
The Cons: Design is weak, card stock is somewhat flimsy for what is supposed to be higher type set, and even with many good shots and a few great shots the overall shots seem redundant. This set will not rank better than flagship as the last of the 2025's roll out (still a few more coming).
Okay now that is out of the way it is time to highlight the first 99 cards. (64 missing).
There ya go the first half of the set.
I agree with your pros and cons thus far. That Holliday card with the glove on his head is relatable...I always wore my glove on my head at baseball practices, and I remember one time wearing it on my way to the pitcher's mound in a high school baseball game. Ahhh, good times.
ReplyDeleteThat Chase Dollander card (#42) has a fantastic photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great shadow
