Review: Topps Series 2 Baseball 2012 Hobby packs

This is a round-a-bout number of 13 packs. The review is based on that many.

Packs: Albert Pujols..that catches me!

Base Cards: I still don't care much for the bigger border, but the photography makes up for that. Just look at this Ichiro!

Inserts: Inserts aplenty!!! This product is loaded with inserts, inserts and more inserts!!! Seems like every pack you get one or two. I like the Cut Above insert. Glad Topps brought back die cuts. The Gold Standard insert looks nice as well. The Jed Lowrie Gold shiny parallel is my favorite insert out of all of them. And don't forget the Golden Giveaway code cards inserted 1:6 packs and we got two that we unlocked that turned out to be virtual items. That was a little disappointing. Can't do much with those. Would be different if you could trade those for cards with other people.

Autos: N/A Either one auto or jersey per hobby box

Jerseys: We didn't get an auto, but did pull this. I like the base cut out with the jersey piece in it. The design is quite sharp as well.

Overall: We bought the product with the intention of trying to pull a Bryce Harper rookie. We did not. Overall, not a bad product. Nice looking inserts, parallels and jersey/autos. Still wished Harper was in there, but overall pack wise would try this product. I don't think I would buy a box. With only one hit and around a $60 plus dollar limit, your money might be spent better elsewhere not unless you are in it for the inserts.
