The 2006 Topps Turkey Red Football is a nice quality product in the medium range of the price scale. The cards look exactly the same as last year, and that's a good thing in this case. The back of the cards has a nice write-up/bio of the player that's a little different than most product I have reviewed. The Topps Turkey Red logo is on the top of the card, with just the players name on the bottom.

The rookies have the rookie designation below the Topps Turkey Red logo on the top of the card. The rookies are all posed shots.
We pulled (9) rookie cards in this Topps Turkey Red box. One was a parallel of Reggie Bush with red border.

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|
|
| I
rate this box a 4 1/2 of 5 HI Fives. 2006 Topps Turkey Red Football
is a medium-priced, quality card product. You can usually
find these boxes in the $50 to $65 price range. Very good value
for the money in my opinion. Can be real nice for you TTM/IP autograph seekers out there. |
