OK so I went to Wal-Mart here in Podunk, Canada.
Finally, after years of seeing only Hockey cards, I found a 10 pack box of Topps 2011 Series 1 baseball cards. Needless to say, I grabbed them!
So what did I get:
A Tommy Hanson, 1946 Braves patch card.
Base Card set highlights...for me:
Derek Jeter, Brad Lidge, Ryan Braun, Aroldis Chapman Rookie, Felix Pie, Adrian Beltre, Justin Morneau, Chris Carpenter, Brandon Inge, Russell Martin, Shin-Soo Choo, Randy Wolf, Ted Lilly, Albert Pujols, David Wright, 2010 AL BA Leaders, 2010 NL RBI Leaders and 2010 NL Wins Leaders.
81 cards and not a double anywhere.
Some insert card highlights:
ToppsTown Josh Hamilton
Topps 60: Mickey Mantle, Hanley Ramirez and Shin-Soo Choo
History of Topps: Sy Berger
Topps Diamond Duos: Tom Seaver annd Aroldis Chapman
60 Years of Topps: Roger Maris, Al Kaline and Paul Molitor
CMGR: Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner
CGS: Clayton Kershaw
So I was happy!
