CARDBOARD REVIEW:2019 Topps Compete Hobby Set

With both Topps Series 1 and Series 2 released, it's time again for the Topps Complete Boxed sets.

These sets are great for collectors who don't want to spend the time or money building their own. I know if I collected newer sets this would be the way to go. Only problem, you don't get to open packs or find hits. However, you get the complete set along with a bonus usually.

Today I am ripping open a hobby version of the complete set.

 

Here is the outside of the box. Usually go for $60. There are actually 701 cards in the box as the Vlad Guerrero Jr card is included in the set. That's good since I didn't pull one from Series 2.

Open it up, and you find all of the cards from the set along with a special pack of five parallel cards each numbered to 162.

Here's who I found in my parallel pack break.

Shane Bieber

Rich Hill. think I pulled him last year as well from this break.

Austin Romine

Willson Contreras

SF Giants team card

There are other variations of the set to find as well with their own special bonuses.

Many great options when you are buying. I guess it depends on which version interests you the most. To me, that orange box has some great stuff in it and the word chrome is mentioned so that alone has my attention.

Let me know in comment which set you would choose and why or do you just complete your own by hand?

Have a great day!

Breakers don't break this stuff, but if you do want to be in a box break for other products,  I suggest Midwest Box Breaks as they pull fire!

Please make sure to take a minute out to thank Topps for providing this box for me to review and to be able to add cards to the giveaway on Twitter I am hosting. Please follow me there to enter @SportCardCollec. Also follow Topps on all social media sites and visit their SITE, as well.

Too Many Giants

Here is the second part of my mail day from Too Many Verlanders. Today's showcases some new NY Giants additions and some hits.

In this first group, we have a good handful of numbered cards and rookies. Also a very shiny Odell Beckham Jr.

 

The next group gives me a couple new Eli's, a sweet Ike Hilliard 90's Rated Rookie, and a few new Brandon Jacobs. The talk is Wayne Gallman could be the next Jacobs this year for them. We will see.

 

Pink refractors. I am not sure how far I am with Williams, but I have decent Victor Cruz rainbow started and this is a newbie to it. Think I have 5 of the cards I need towards a rainbow now. However, the Super would probably be impossible to find.

 

Tools Of The Trade. I loved everything about these. The breakdown where the pieces came from on the card, the layout, the color and design.

 

A new letterman auto. I collect those and Giants ones are a bonus!

 

And to finish it up, a Austin Romine auto. I assume this was done TTM or in-person. I am sure Too Many Verlanders could clarify.

 

 

A HUGE thanks goes out to Too Many Verlanders for this awesome mail day and for thinking of me for your Yankees. I hope to get a return mail day out to you in the next few weeks.
