Overall Look

If you like the shiny and are looking for refractors of all kinds, these cards are for you.  The main design is based on the Topps master set for the year that we have already established is great.  

Quality and Variety of Players and Subsets.

At 200 base cards, you get a good mix of the veterans and rookies including the rookies who got the call up late in the season.  The vintage subset, based on 1996 Topps Chrome, looks great and offers a nice checklist.

Do the hits hold up?

All on-card autos are Rookies and there are the USA College Team Auto Redemptions so there is some great prospecting to be done here.

Will you want to collect them all?

There are several ways to collect here.  Complete base set, rainbow collecting and basic PC, all of which is compelling enough to want them all. This is definitely a multi-box purchase.
