Review:
Third time’s a charm.
This is a very simple review to put together, since 2010 Topps Update is essentially the same as Series 1
and Series 2, both of which were top of the line products. And since Topps does base sets so well, none
of that really will come as a surprise to anyone.
A quick wrap of Topps Update…the base cards are the same as Series 1 and 2, with traded players on
cards for their new team, key rookies getting their debuts and a series of cards from this year’s All-Star
Game festivities. Additionally, many of the great inserts that appeared in the first two series are here, as
well (I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I can look at cards from insert sets like Vintage Legends and
The Cards Your Mom Threw Out all day, and both sets make me yearn for a return from the Topps Archives
and All-Time Fan Favorites lines). The Million Card Giveaway also returns, with more code cards per box than ever before (and
if you are addicted to this promotion like I am, that is a great thing). The hits fall one per box, on average, with either a relic,
autograph or, in my case, a Silk parallel making up the chase cards. Of course, these are just icing on the cake.
As I said, this is a simple review to put together. If you are a fan of base sets, and a completist when it comes to those sets,
you probably already have a box of Topps Update. If you aren’t, you might want to get one anyway. This is just a box that is lots
of fun........................
