2010 Topps offers a ton of fun inserts, beginning with:

- When they were young (current players shown in their young pre-MLB days)

- The cards your mom threw away (reprint cards of past baseball cards, including the Yuker RC, Alex Gordon 2006 (never should have been made card) and 1968 Mantle to name a few)

- Topps Million card giveaway (1 in 6 packs, they can be redeemed for actual topps baseball cards through Topps’ website)

in a pack, you get about 12 cards, including the 3-D live cards one per pack. You should get at least 1 rookie card on average in a pack, probably more. The rookie are nothing to get excited about, not at least until we get Stephen Strasburgh and Jason Heyward going.

But here’s my problem with Topps. I’m glad they are the only dealer of MLB cards….yet they read 2010 Topps, and nothing is updated…NOTHING!

Granderson, Beltre, Lackey, Tejada, etc, all shown in their old uniforms. All that time and fuss about “official licensed product of MLB”, yet they cannot even take the time to update their cards.

now….you’ve got to wait for Series 2 to get updates that should have been done a long time ago.

every year, Topps comes out with 3 Topps baseball sets.

Series 1, Series 2 (with updates and new rookies), and Topps Update and Highlights (All-Star cards and last rookies to come out)

if that’s the case, you can probably do without Topps Series 1, try out Series 2 and hope for Heyward or Strasburg, and go out for Series 3, especially with the possible last rookies such as Carlos Santana from Cleveland.
Rating: 4 / 5
