Final Comments:
Topps Heritage always give you a solid product at a nice price! The 1959 Topps design and the addition of News Flashbacks as well as all the many other great inserts randomly inserted in the packs makes every pack a joy to open. The addition of the Real One Dual autographs in this year's set is a great one to say the least! Any of the autographs would be a great pull, but if you are lucky enough to pull a 1959 Cut Signature, it would be one that you surely wouldln't forget anytime soon! The original 1959 Topps card design gives the whole set that great classic baseball card feel.
The Trading Card Reviews box beat the odds of getting one relic or autograph in every box to say the least. It was a great surprise to receive not only the two relic cards, but also the amazing Real One Dual Autograph of Chicago Cubs all-time greats Ernie Banks and Chick King!!
Topps has once again made a set that is fun for collectors both young and old. It is a very affordable box and there are lots of great inserts to be had. Along with the extensive insert sets, the large base set makes it a nice choice for all those set builders out there.
Thanks again for checking out another great baseball card review from Trading Card Reviews!
