A completed boxed set of cards seems counter intuitive for
collectors who are set builders.
But one cannot deny the convenience of have the entire base set in one
convenient box. As with most
recent collections, 2012 Topps Football Complete Set NFL Trading Cards offers
all the base cards with a bonus found exclusively in the product The departure from mimicking the
design of the current year’s flagship baseball release makes for a great design
and a desirable set to own.
Clearly, this package gets classification as a boxed set for
the purposes of this review. Inside you’ll find the complete 440 card base set,
no alternate photo versions or inserts, and each boxes contains a pack of five
Orange-Bordered parallels.
For the most part, this review will mimic our previous
review of 2012 Topps Football because the cards are the same.
Here are some of the base set cards.
Eli Manning, front and back
Andrew Luck, front and back
Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Adrian Peterson
Robert Griffin III RG3, Doug Martin, Russell Wilson
Here are the 5 red-bordered parallels #.86.
Marques Colston, front and back
Eric Berry
Geno Atkins, Whitney Mercilus, DeVier Posey
Overall look
A dedicated design for the base set is a welcomed
change. As to be expected,
the photography is excellent.
Does the checklist of players feel complete?
The checklist is quite extensive, pleasing a wide range of
collectors. A strong Rookie class
enhances the collection.
Are there any bonus cards included?
Yes. There are
the 5 orange-bordered parallels. They are all numbered to 86. It could prove to
be a difficult task to put together an entire orange-bordered set, but there
should be a few brave souls out there willing to take on the task.
Boxed Set vs. Set Building
No doubt, these cards are fun to collect pack by pack, but
having the complete packaged set is convenient.
Rating
