Set Features;
Each sealed box contains 24 packs of 8 cards each in a 200 card base set including 61 Dick Perez sketch cards and 35 short prints. >>> Each box contains TWO Memorabilia and/or Autograph cards and ONE box loader (look for Turkey Red Cabinet cards, Dick Perez Autograph cards, Alex Rodriguez `Road to 500` base and autograph cards). Parallel sets: Chrome (#`d to 1999), Chrome Refractor (#`d to 999), and Black Chrome Refractor (#`d to 99). Inserts: Memorabilia cards, Chromograph Autograph cards, and President cards 1:12.
Here's what we pulled in our box of 2007 Topps Turkey Red Baseball.
Base cards and Parallels;
The base set is designed like the 1911 Turkey Red Cabinet cards. The design of the front of the cards is really nice. They have a nice border and the pictures are amazing on these cards. The players name is on the bottom of the card and the back has a complete bio of the player. The Turkey Red presidents insert card has a real nice bio of that president...I really like the idea of the president cards in this set. These cards give good insight to what it was like during that presidents lifetime.
Here are the parallels we pulled;
- Chrome Parallels #/1999 (6)
- Chrome Refractor Parallels #/999 (3)
- Chrome Black Refractor Parallels #/99 (1)
Here are a few rookies that were pulled from our 2007 Topps Turkey Red box;
Rookies;
The rookie cards look the same as the base and have the rookie card logo in the upper right hand corner. The players collegiate statsare listed on the back of the card. We pulled (39) rookies in this box of Topps Turkey Red Baseball.
Turkey Red Cabinet Box-loader Card
The box-topper pulled from this box is of Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins.
Insert Cards;
The insert cards we pulled are of A-rod Road to 500...we got homerun #303 that was hit as Safeco Field off of Jamie Moyer. The other inserts were (2) presidents cards.
Game Used Cards;
The (2) game-used we pulled are a jersey game-used of Rich Hill of the Chicago Cubs and a game-used bat of Josh Paul of the Tampa Bay Devilrays. The game-used cards have a nice design to them. They also have a nice little frame around the relic and this set would be a nice set to collect.
FAVORITE CARD;
This is one of my favorite cards pulled from this break. It is a base card, but I really like the detail and the picture that is on this card.
Final thoughts on Topps Turkey Red Baseball;
This is a real nice mid-range product from Topps. The design of the cards is excellent and the detail is top-notch. This would be a great set to put together. Topps is a very high quality manufacturer and I always look forward to their products every year.
Here's how I would rate this product;
VALUE = 4
INNOVATION = 5
FUN AND EXPERIENCE = 5
REBUY VALUE = 3
I rate this product an "A" for Topps. It was a fun product to bust. I would have liked to have seen a guaranteed autograph in every box. If for nothing else just to see the design first hand close-up.
